Description:

Drugs are prevalent in today's society. Ohio's workforce is no different. We hear of drug overdoses much more frequently. The presenters discuss use, abuse and addiction. They also review behaviors indicating possible use and abuse or addiction, and provide suggestions for human resource professionals who must address the matter. In addition, they address the proper implementation of return to work after a positive drug test or rehabilitation. They also provide tools for employers to understand relapse better with a broad-based discussion on employee assistance program implementation.
