Reasonable Suspicion and Managing Impairment for Supervisors

COURSE OVERVIEW

Employers often face considerable costs, approximately $10,000/year per employee, due to substance misuse related issues such as frequent absences, reduced productivity, increased accidents, and escalating health and Workers Compensation Board (WCB) expenses. While these figures are concerning, it’s equally important for employers to know that they are not authorized to conduct random substance tests on their employees unless backed by adequate documentation and evidence. This is where our training comes in. The Canadian Model suggests that supervisors undergo reasonable suspicion awareness training. Our digital course, Reasonable Suspicion and Managing Impairment for Supervisors, provides the necessary knowledge and expertise to detect and address substance misuse issues in the professional environment.
