supervisors recognize symptoms of substance misuse and do their part to support a drug free workplace.
Drug-Free-Workplace---Supervisors

Often, supervisors are aware that an employee’s job
performance and behavior have deteriorated, but are unsure of the cause. A supervisor does not have to know the cause to address the performance or behavior issue or offer appropriate resources. Learn how to refer an employee to KEAP in this Supervisory Training Module.
