Open Enrollment is a Great Time to Re-evaluate Your Drug and Alcohol Policy

Employee Workplace Safety notebook

It’s that time of year again. Time to prepare for insurance open-enrollment and consider the effectiveness of various vendors you use, which makes it a great time to plan for next year and re-evaluate your drug and alcohol policy. What works and what doesn’t? Are you getting the support you need? Are you giving the support your employees need?

Does Your Drug and Alcohol Policy Measure Up?

While you’re considering the best options for your employees, it’s a good time to re-evaluate your drug and alcohol policy.

  • What are your drug and alcohol testing objectives?
  • Do they need to change?
  • Is your current policy meeting those objectives?
  • Are your drug and alcohol testing vendors providing the support you need?
  • Is your Third Party Administrator relieving stress or adding to it?
  • OR do you need to hire a Third Party Administrator?

Understanding and communicating why you need a policy is key. Your policy should clearly state what is allowed and what isn’t, the reasons to test, as well as the consequence for testing positive.

How a Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy Creates Loyalty


What’s the number one reason to implement a drug and alcohol testing policy? To create and ensure a safe workplace. You don’t create your policy to catch drug users. You create a policy to discourage drug and alcohol use. A drug and alcohol testing policy shows your workforce that you take their safety seriously.

When employees believe their safety is your priority, they tend to be more loyal to you as their employer. Loyal employees are more productive and tend to take more ownership of their job and your company’s success.
