Why are Drug Tests and Background Screening Important?

Drug tests and background screenings are oftentimes essential components of the hiring process for businesses. These steps can provide valuable insights into a candidate's history, ensuring that you make informed decisions that align with your company's values and legal requirements! These screening measures not only protect your business from potential liabilities but also contribute to a safer, more productive work environment over time. 

Doing Due Diligence for New Hires

Performing your due diligence during the hiring process can be vital for selecting the best candidates. Comprehensive background checks reveal critical information about an applicant's criminal history, employment verification, and educational credentials. This also helps you avoid hiring individuals who may pose a risk to your business and ensures that you bring on board only those who meet your company’s standards. 

Decreased Risk for Employee Turnover and Absenteeism

Implementing drug testing and thorough background screening can also significantly reduce employee turnover and absenteeism! By identifying candidates who are less likely to engage in substance abuse or other problematic behaviors, you can create a more stable and reliable workforce. This proactive approach leads to a more consistent and productive work environment, saving your business both time and money. 

Keeping Up a Drug-Free Workplace

Maintaining a drug-free workplace policy can be essential for the safety and well-being of your employees, especially in specific sectors like transportation, shipping, construction, and more. Regular testing policies for illicit drugs aim to deter substance abuse and encourage a culture of responsibility and health. This not only enhances employees’ overall productivity but can also reduce the likelihood of workplace accidents and incidents related to drug use! 

Lower Your Workers' Compensation Rates

A pre-employment drug screening program can actually lower your company’s workers' compensation rates! Insurance providers often offer discounts to businesses that maintain a drug-free workplace because it demonstrates a commitment to safety and risk management - this can result in significant cost savings for your business over time! 

Compliance with Local and State Laws

Ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws is a critical aspect of any hiring process. Drug testing laws and background screenings can help your business adhere to local and federal requirements, avoiding potential fines and issues! Horizon’s team of professionals are here to help keep your company compliant, providing peace of mind and protecting your business from legal complications in the hiring process.
