Changing marijuana laws, the ongoing opioid epidemic, and reduced oversight of remote workforces have employers worried their employees may be working while impaired – and feeling unsure about what they can do about it. More than 100,000 Americans have died of overdoses in each of the last two years, and the U.S. Surgeon General has suggested employers stock medications to reverse opioid overdoses at the workplace. A few jurisdictions now protect workers engaged in the recreational use of marijuana from adverse job actions, regardless of job duties.
In this session, we will discuss:
- How changing marijuana laws impact the workplace
- How to identify and respond to employee substance abuse and impairment in a legally defensible way
- How to develop programs to recognize and respond to these evolving issues
- How to minimize the risk to your operations when employees bring drug and alcohol issues to work
