WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

There are many challenges that HR professionals face daily. One of these is hiring which has become increasingly difficult over the past year and it appears this trend may persist into the foreseeable future. With the changing marijuana laws, decriminalization of hard drugs such as cocaine, PCP, Meth and others and a smaller pool of qualified candidates, Finding the right people and getting them hired quickly is more important than ever. To maintain a positive and safe workplace as well as protect the public, it is important for employers to have a drug free workplace. With COVID and other concerns, completing drug testing and getting results in a timely manner has become more challenging but there are some options to simplify drug testing while reducing costs and improving results turnaround times. In this webinar, Tom Fulmer, Vice President of National Drug Screening will share some steps you can take immediately to simplify employer drug testing in challenging times.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • ·         Identify opportunities for improvement turnaround times for results
  • ·         Identify opportunities to lower testing costs
  • ·         Simplify Test Scheduling
  • ·         Understand alternate testing methods that eliminate “cheating the test”
  • ·         Clarify what drug test panels should and should not be used for employment testing
