The best employees want to work in the best environment, an environment where their co-workers are healthy, productive and reliable. That's why the best people — the ones every company competes to attract and retain — want to be where employees are fit, thinking positively and working together well. Certainly some industries are particularly susceptible to personal and workplace problems. But business organizations that put a priority on occupational health and medical assessment programs — as well as on strict substance use policies — have a safer, healthier and more stable workplace, higher employee morale, less absenteeism, and even lower Workers Compensation and accident insurance rates.
