Drug testing - jobs for the boys
Years back my boss suggested we implement a drug testing policy. XXX has one and it's a good idea he said. I started to check on this "good idea"
I contacted our insurance carrier.
Yes that is a good idea.
So if it is a good idea - reduces losses etc what sort of discount will it get us?
Ahhh - none, but it is still a good idea.
Then I checked out the cost of running the program. Pretty large actually.
I did quite a bit of research on this and the only place a testing program leads to any sort of "improvemnent" is in the context of a well thought out and administered (read expensive) HR program.
So at the end of the day it is really just another part of the paranoia industry. Find a cheap fix and avoid the problem.
