Legalization of Marijuana - What Employers & Managers Should Know?

Are you a business owner, HR professional, or manager concerned about the impact of marijuana legalization on your workplace? Look no further! This webinar is designed specifically for you.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), studies suggest specific links between marijuana use and adverse consequences in the workplace, such as the increased risk of injury or accidents. One study among postal workers found that employees who tested positive for marijuana on a pre-employment urine drug test had 55 percent more industrial accidents, 85 percent more injuries, and 75 percent greater absenteeism compared with those who tested negative for marijuana use.

Not only is legalization a new problem for management, it’s also a new problem for law enforcement and the courts. Defining what it means to be “under the influence” is difficult at best, and there are few accurate measuring methods available. Thankfully that is beginning to change.

As the legal landscape surrounding marijuana rapidly changes, it's crucial for employers and managers to stay ahead of the game. Our expert Speaker (Don Phin) will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of marijuana legalization with confidence.

Don't let the legalization of marijuana catch you off guard. Arm yourself with the knowledge and expertise needed to proactively manage the impact on your workplace. Register now for our "Legalization of Marijuana - What Employers & Managers Should Know?" webinar and be prepared for the future. Secure your spot today and ensure your organization's success in this evolving landscape!
