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.

Selling Out

Selling out can be a very relative term, subjective to the opinions of many people. However, the basic definition is that of replacing quality with more temporary income. This can result in short term gains for the company, but not long term profits. In other words, selling out is a way to act like a child, whereas long term investment in the company is adult behavior. This is the cinch of the matter, although selling out itself remains a relative term. In the business world, selling out can refer to many things, including the absence of drug and alcohol screening in order to keep prices and expenses down. In the short term, not implementing drug testing will benefit revenue, but in the long run, it will decrease safety, affect productivity, and cost the company several thousand times what it saved. In short, selling out gets the job done for today, but steals from tomorrow to do it.

Drug and alcohol test prices for companies have been the determining factor for many years. They determine how much investment the company is willing to put into testing. However, the cost of drug and alcohol testing should not be the only determining factor. As with the subject of selling out, without long term investment, you are not likely to receive high quality long term results. It is therefore important to keep your employee drug and alcohol testing intact and with the highest quality testing products and services available. To reduce the quality of your drug and alcohol testing program is to put a nick in the foundation of your business itself. It is necessary, therefore, to look further in the future and plan for it and sink effort and energy into it.

Selling out can also occur in the quality of the drug testing products which you order. For example, you may receive cheap, unreliable drug tests in exchange for less money. At CMM Technology, we value your long term business and we sell only the best products. Check out our LifeLoc FC10 personal breathalyser devices, our Lion SD 500 devices, and our Medix drug testing kits. For more information, visit our website or call CMM Technology today.

Self Respect and Attracting Clientele

Self respect is the absolute best way that you can sell yourself to clients and business associates at any point in time. While self confidence is touted as the number one seller, self respect actually gives you an internal feeling of self worth, personal boundaries, and realization of just exactly how much crap you are willing to take in a business deal. This respect for yourself shows quite clearly to potential customers or clientele, and it demands a certain amount of attention and respect from them, as well.

Now, wait a minute, this does not always mean that you receive business. Why is this so? Well, not everyone is prepared to continually, for more than a few days at a time, give you the respect that you are demanding. This is not the time to start giving in and settling for something less. Instead, start to alter your entire lifestyle to the point where you are giving yourself enough respect, and then everyone else’s abilities or lack there of, even in the professional world, will mean less.

Of course, now that your newfound and newly advertised self respect is shining out and bringing in new clientele, you will notice that it will start bringing in an entirely new class of clientele. When this starts happening, allow your schedule and your marketing schemes to relax enough so that, when these high quality clientele begin seeking you out, you are not still imposing your old rules and strategies for client acquisition. That worked for a lower class of client, but now you must allow yourself to change with the times. If you cannot grow and change that much, you will end up attracting what you can handle, which will be the previous type of client.

CMM Technology provides drug testing equipment to businesses throughout Australia and select countries. Try out our Medix equipment, our Lion SD 400 and Lion SD 500 personal breathalyser devices, and the cost of drug & alcohol testing when you are doing business with our company. We have enough self respect to be able to offer you value and high quality products within your price range, no matter what size or level of company you have.

Secrets of the Deep

Human like secrets, and they really like to keep secrets. Secrets, or the withdrawal from saying what is directly on your mind as you are thinking it, are important in both business and personal lives. Of course, many couples tell each other that they do not want any secrets from each other, but this is a slightly inorganic way of going about this process. For example, are you more likely to tell your new spouse or significant other a secret if they are aggressively pulling it out of you, or are you more likely to tell them after some time has passed and they have demonstrated not only their loyalty with your trust but also how they react reasonably well to the news. After all, isn’t that why anyone keeps a secret from their romantic partner; because they are afraid of how the other person will react. This is, of course, a very reasonable concern to have. You do not want to hurt them, but, perhaps even more importantly, you do not want them to think negatively about you. It is this concern over the strength of the relationship and the love for which they bear that causes many secrets to be kept within a couple, or within business partners, or between colleagues.

We cannot be afraid of the truth, and we must take responsibility for the fact that we want the truth, which may not agree with our personal views or desires or hopes for the future. This is why many small businesses do not find themselves testing their employees for alcohol or drugs. There is an innate concern about the business relationship, the friendship, whether or not they will stay, and of course what they think about you for implementing these techniques.

Fortunately, the business does not have to grow very large before these fears are put to rest, and employee testing is brought in. To help you with these techniques, CMM Technology provides and supplies companies throughout Australia with Oraline saliva tests, Medix drug test kits, Lion Alcoblow breathalysers, and LifeLoc FC10 personal breathalyser devices.

Sales of Drug Testing Equipment

Alcohol and drug testing equipment suppliers in Australia are striving to sell high quality drug tests and breathalyser devices with discounts and many other “benefits” which may or may not exist. However, CMM Technology devotes our company to the proper use, calibration and storage of high quality drug test and breathalysers, like our LifeLoc FC10 personal breathalyser, our Oraline saliva tests, and our Medixurine drug tests. This is our goal: to offer and provide the highest quality drug and alcohol testing equipment that we possibly can.

Sales of drug testing equipment fluctuate depending upon the need of the various clients, as well as the need of the market as a whole. In other words, it depends partly upon how much employee drug testing is being used on a regular basis. Fortunately for us, employee drug and alcohol screening is being used more and more over time, since it is such a scientifically valid way to evaluate and alter company protocol. After all, if you are not aware of which employees may be abusing substances in the workplace, then how can you help and aid your own company in business? You must be aware of your managers and employees and executives, and you must be able to be aware of them. This ability is given to you through the implementation of drug and alcohol testing on the jobsite.

Fortunately, drug and alcohol test prices are extremely reasonable at CMM Technology. We believe in keeping the cost of drug and alcohol testing as low as possible, while also maintaining high quality service. In other words, we believe in delivering value to the customer, while also maintaining that high quality standard that professional businesses expect out of their service and product suppliers.

At CMM Technology, we provide some of the best names in drug and alcohol testing equipment. We provide drug tests, such as Oraline saliva tests, and other drug tests, like MedixIntegrated pro-split cup urine tests. In addition to drug tests, we also carry breathalysers, such as Lion SD 400 and Lion SD 500 and LifeLoc FC10 hand held breathalyser devices.
