Why Drug Testing is More Important than Ever

Back to Blog
Do you have a drug testing program? If not, should you? And if you do, does it embody the right strategy during the unprecedented public health crisis that is COVID-19?

Don’t keep wondering—find out! Sign up here to attend Asurint’s free webinar, Drug Testing: Essential and Smart During the Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. It will be held on July 30th at 12 p.m. EST.

This is your opportunity to learn more about the current drug testing landscape from a 30-year industry veteran. Back by popular demand, Bill Current, author of the book, Why Drug Testing? is joining Asurint once again to provide his insights into a rapidly evolving field—this time in light of the coronavirus crisis.

As many HR and staffing professionals are aware, substance abuse in America has been on the rise. Now the many stressors of COVID-19—from increased isolation to financial concerns—are undermining many individuals’ fight for sobriety and leading others into unhealthy relationships with alcohol and drugs.

Responsible company leaders need to be aware of the trends and consequences, so they can take the right actions to protect employees’ health and safety. Drug testing can—and probably should—be part of the solution for countless organizations, acting as a deterrent to substance abuse and a means of identifying and reaching out to people who may need help at this difficult time.

Asurint recognizes the urgency of this issue, and in our webinar, Bill will address how to efficiently create or update a legally compliant drug testing program to meet the COVID-19 challenge. In particular, he will answer two big questions facing employers and other organizations:
  • What can companies expect regarding substance abuse and COVID-19? Bill will examine current trends and expert projections to help guide drug testing decisions during the pandemic.
  • What can you do now to prepare for a post-pandemic workplace? Drug testing is best implemented as a long-term strategy, and Bill will point to ways that today’s choices can set companies up for success, even after the coronavirus crisis passes.
As part of the discussion, Bill will also cover how drug testing can align with other safety practices, such as COVID-19 testing, and go over the various drug testing options, including alternative methods that can help bypass the shortcomings of traditional programs.

If you’ve been wondering whether now is the time to implement a drug testing program—or if you’re interested in updating your drug testing efforts with the current pandemic in mind—this is a “don’t miss” webinar.

The safety of employees, customers, and other stakeholders is a tantamount concern. Get the information you need and have your questions answered, so you can improve your internal policies and protocols. Sign up here to attend Drug Testing: Essential and Smart During the Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic
