Reasonable Suspicion: Managing Substance Abuse in the Workplace
The right way to tell if your employees are using drugs
The responsible and legally compliant way to approach substance use in the workplace is through determination of “Reasonable Suspicion,” which is based on specific observations. It requires training so your supervisors know what to look for and how to manage the process. In this webinar, Preferred EAP Program Director, Carolyn Lamparella, EdS, LPC, explains how to recognize substance abuse and the steps involved in the Reasonable Suspicion process, including assessment by a substance abuse professional, testing, and treatment recommendations and follow-up.
