Substance
abuse and the issues associated with it are dramatically affecting
the American workplace. Substance abuse is a major factor in driving
up business
costs.
- It is estimated that 8.3% of full-time employees are users of illicit
drugs.
- 74% of adults who use drugs are employed.
The issue of substance abuse affects all employees, not just the drug-user.
It is known that:
- Absenteeism is 66% higher
- Disciplinary actions are 90% higher
- Turnover is significantly higher
- Health benefit utilization is 300% higher among drug users.
- 47% of workplace accidents are drug-related.
The employment of a substance abuser can risk the health and safety
of other employees as well as the public. The time spent as a result
of these human resource issues is time spent on issues other than running
your business.
