Introduction & Topics to be Addressed:
Did you know that 60 percent of the world's production of illegal drugs is consumed in the US and nearly 75 percent of illicit drug users are employed? One in four employed Americans between the ages of 18 and 35 have illegally used drugs and one-third of employees know of illegal drug sales in the workplace. Workers' compensation claims related to substance abuse are between 38 to 50 percent of all claims, and abusers are one-third less production which costs their employers between $7,000 and $10,000 per year. Join us for this eye-opening and highly informative seminar to gain tips on reducing risks and cost-effective ways to achieve a drug-free workplace.
