Recruiting and training savings
Pre-employment drug testing can help save recruiting costs by drug screening qualified candidates before making a job offer.
Lower absenteeism
Employees who use drugs are absent from work on average 50% more days than non-users, according to the National Safety Council.
Seventy-four billion dollars are lost in productivity each year due to alcohol consumption, according to the National Safety Council.
Even if an employee is using drugs or alcohol outside of working hours, it may lead to hangovers, loss of production at work, and increased likelihood of injury, according to The Addiction Center.
Fewer accidents
Research shows that screening for drug use can help reduce on-the-job accidents and workplace crimes, including theft and violence, according to EHS Today.
Employees who suffer from drug or alcohol dependency are nearly three times more likely to either cause or personally experience an injury-related absence from work, according to Occupational Health & Safety.
Lower workers compensation claims
Employees who use drugs are more likely to be involved in a workplace accident and more likely to file a workers compensation claim, according to the National Safety Council.
More on-the job accidents lead to increasing workers compensation claims.
Lower healthcare costs
Drug testing can lead to lower healthcare costs and premiums for employers. A report by the Surgeon General, states that the U.S. spends $35 billion a year to treat substance use disorders and $85 billion to treat injuries caused by substance use.

PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS

Forty-two percent of survey respondents found value in background screening because it helped them to increase workplace safety and security. Additionally, 16 percent of employers found screening reduced employee theft, 14 percent found it reduced workplace accidents and 11 percent said it reduced workplace violence.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the American Management Association, estimates that 30 percent of all business failures are a result of employee theft and that three quarters of all employees steal at least once. An FBI study highlighted that nearly 355,000 businesses will experience a workplace violence episode in any given year. Employers can conduct background screening to increase hire quality and better protect property and workers against damaging workplace accidents, violence and theft.

Don't be scared!
