CANNABIS AND THE WORKPLACE
GET ORGANIZED
SEMINAR OUTLINE
Cannabis is one of the most commonly used mind-altering substances in the world. As more jurisdictions consider tolerating, decriminalizing, or even legalizing the recreational use of cannabis, and as more people are granted licenses for the medicinal use of the drug, the greater is the likelihood that cannabis use will impact any individual workplace.
Employees under the influence of cannabis can create a host of workplace issues, from decreased productivity to safety hazards. The best approach for an employer is to be proactive – to have a plan in place for preventing problems and responding to them if, and when, they occur.
