Disengaging from Abusive Coworkers

Drug Test

                                  Drug Test

Let us say that you love your job, or are at least satisfied with it, and that you have abusive coworkers with whom you do not wish to associate and about whom you frequently have negative thoughts. This is a dual-sided situation. Not only can someone make themselves obnoxious, but others can choose to see them as obnoxious. Both sides of this situation must occur in order for a worksite to be plagued with abusive coworkers. There must be a bully, and there must be a recognition of the bully.

For you to achieve some measure of clarity and therefore rid yourself of the energy of this person, you must take one of those two factors under your control. You cannot change and really can in no way alter the behavior of a person without their consent. The alternative, then, is to manage and control to what extent they are able to affect you.

This all sounds very simple on paper, doesn’t it?

As we all know, though, principles are great until you encounter an emotional situation where the individual in question is directly attacking you or someone with whom you associate. Then it becomes an all out war in your mind, where you are willing to fight dirty and take them down systematically, if just to gain control over your world again.

And the only thing which can make an emotional situation worse is if one or both of you have low emotional intelligence. At that point, you are subject to reactions, which are entirely out of your control, rather than your straightforward logical thinking. This is why we distribute employee drug testing equipment.

Though the systematic and cool universe of drug testing in Western Australia, you can make sure that everyone is keeping themselves under control. After all, you are liable for injuries on the jobsite resulting from an inebriated or high employee. You bear, by law, some of the burden of such workplace liabilities.

Dealing with Employee Testing in Small Businesses

Small businesses, generally businesses of one hundred employees or less, are part of the local economy and they keep everything from prices to inflation from rising. Small companies also take care of their customers on a more personal basis, and they are more likely to develop long term positive relationships with their clients. This is a big deal, since most or all the business that a small company receives can come from repeat loyal customers. In other words, you may be serving most of the target demographic of customers in your area.

For this reason, it is especially important that you hire really high quality employees who are trained in how to act and how to respond to difficult customers. If they help to keep your reputation strong, then business never leaves. However, if they continue to be awkward and to drive clients away, then you are looking at a very real and very documentable liability…not only that, but they are a liability which you are paying to be employed at your company every day.

That sounds like a lot of money going down the drain.

When you deal with customer service, you must be willing to vet your employees up and down main street before hiring them. If you know them and they have a solid reputation both with you and with your community, then hiring them would be even more beneficial than the average high quality employee. One of their assets is that they bring these desired customers into your business through their local reputation. It strengthens your business foundation.

At CMM Technology, we distribute drug test equipment and breathalysers to companies throughout Australia, and we also provide breathalyser recalibration service to many businesses in Western Australia. Our goal is to bring you high quality customers by helping you improve the quality of employees which you have with you. Scientific reading from employee drug testing is about as objective as it can get. For more information, visit our website and check out our products. We would love to know what you think of our recalibration services, and we would love to provide you with your next batch of equipment.

Physiological Side Effects of Drug Abuse

When you are giving your employees drug tests for their working requirements, you are doing so much more than protect your company and all of your assets. You are helping them with their physical and emotional health. What do we mean by this? The tying of emotions to the physical body is part of physiology, and low emotional intelligence, along with supported means of abuse such as drug abuse or alcoholism, can create repercussions in both the mind and in the body through multiple means. When you implement employee drug testing, you are helping to keep your employees from melding their weaknesses together into one large ball of scar tissue.

Psychologically, drug abuse and alcohol abuse weaken the body’s ability to defend itself against physical and emotional onslaught, not to mention it strengthens the mind’s tendency to engage in self destructive thinking. In other words, these physiological side effects (which tie the emotional and the physical together) compound the problem, rather than allowing the individual to break up their emotional and physical issues separately and in small increments so that they are manageable and easy to deal with. The largeness and the compounding of the problem also foster hopelessness, or the belief that if you should break these small problems up and gradually eliminate them that they will spring back up and cause further damage later on. In other words, the compounding of the problem fosters the sense that emotional or physical issues will never really go away, and will just keep coming back, so there is no point in fixing those problems in the first place. This mentality, in turn, leads to the individual not actually looking for a permanent solution to their issue. They believe that only temporary solutions are available, and so they seek to fix them with drugs and alcohol, which are notoriously temporary and unstable.

In the workplace, you need reliability, and for that reason CMM Technology provides workplace drug testing equipment, including Oraline saliva drug tests and Alert J5 personal breathalyser devices. Drug testing in Western Australia has never been run so efficiently.
