EP 068: Drug Legislation Impacts on Leadership and Workplace Safety with NDASA Chairman Jim Greer
Joining us today in The Language of Leadership Podcast is the esteemed Jim Greer, Chairman of the National Drug & Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA). He brings a wealth of knowledge as we discuss the NDASA Advocacy Day in Washington D.C.
We explore the rapidly evolving landscape of workplace drug testing, discussing the importance of technological advancements, and addressing the challenges that come with legislative changes, particularly in the contentious sphere of marijuana legalization. Jim also shares NDASA's mission to advocate for employers in Washington DC and explain how the current political and social climate impacts workplace safety and employers' rights. We'll also examine the crucial role of training for personnel tasked with drug and alcohol testing and the potential ramifications of newer technologies.
We're set for an insightful conversation on leadership strategies, the importance of understanding policy-making, and the value of advocating for a safe working environment. This episode of The Language of Leadership Podcast goes beyond conventional wisdom as Jim Greer helps us navigate these complex issues with the skill and clarity of a seasoned leader.
“A drug policy is a comprehensive document that reflects what the laws of your particular state are. They address all kinds of issues relating to when to test, how do you test, what do you test for, and most importantly, what do you do when a positive comes back? So, the first thing, from an employer perspective, is have a drug policy, and just don't do it willy nilly.” - Jim Greer

How technological advancements are shaping the future of drug and alcohol screening
The potential drawbacks of newer drug testing technologies
