Are we dealing with this issue with seriousness?<\/p>\n<p>There is an employee at managerial position, who has bagged &#8220;best manager of the quarter&#8221; twice, his resume is impeccable and his compatibility with his team is beyond words. He starts behaving in a strange way now. He has become:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a regular absentee,<\/li>\n<li>a late comer, whenever he comes,<\/li>\n<li>shows low productivity and has poor performance,<\/li>\n<li>always has lack of energy and<\/li>\n<li>has a streak of violence and erratic work patterns!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Drugs has affected the young generation bad and the statistics shows a scary number &#8211; In India alone, more than 3 million people are dependent on drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Drugs, not only harm the productivity of any person, but also kills the morality. It is very often heard, that anybody doing drugs, steals, snatches, robs, does frauds or worse.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine your organizations&#8217; bus driver or school peon or a principle or an IT employee doing drugs; is it safe to have them on-board?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jantakhoj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/11may-300x254.png\" alt=\"11may\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jantakhoj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/11may-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jantakhoj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/11may.png 393w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Of course, no!<\/p>\n<p>For many job openings, there are pre or post employment drug test also, but is it enough?<\/p>\n<p>What if the employee joins clean but has picked up the habit later in life? Is taking a chance an option?<\/p>\n<p>I guess, no.<\/p>\n<p>Employees at a position which needs alertness, high productivity, more physical strength, less absenteeism, may choose one of these options:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Random drug test: This drug test must be done without prior information. It should be random, as it states. There are many ways people follow to get a negative result for the drug test and yes they succeed. So, in order to get a true result, we need to do a random, surprise drug test.<\/li>\n<li>For Cause drug test: The manager mentioned above, gives us a cause to doubt on his activities. He shows all symptoms which gives clear indication that something is not right. In such cases, a drug test should run and action should be taken on an immediate note.<\/li>\n<li>Post accident drug test: An employee in a factory or a driver or an operator does a simple accident, not called for. It has been noted a few times. Don&#8217;t wait; it calls for a drug test. The main reason for the mishap should be known.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pre or post employment drug test is not enough to deal with such situations. One bad apple can spoil the entire barrel, and here the barrel represents your organizations&#8217; goodwill. Too much is at stake! So, taking a chance is not an option. Be penny smart not a pound foolish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Dealing with employee issues can be difficult, but not dealing with it, can be worse!&#8221; India is the biggest consumer of heroin.
