Sometimes there will be criminal elements or drug users in your company or in your workforce.

What do you do? How to weed them out?

Immediate expulsion

is that any impact to the company and office environment?

Immediately out. No justifications.

Its so easy to say. But to do it, you need to have the guts to confront the situation.

lipot to ur boss

But you don't know, you merely suspect and based on hearsay.

How do you prove that a part of your workforce is on drugs?

How do you have the guts to tackle the elephant in the room?

30 years experience in HR you dunno what to do?

Suspect and hearsay is not strong enough proof of immediate dismissal.

Does his drug habits affect his performance in office?

Haha, already done that.

Lets just say - strong suspicion.

How about his performance?

If he is a strong performer, I would let it slide till strong proof is obtained.

If he is a bad performer, I would find signs in his behavior (eg. lethargic and sleepy) to warrant a medical check. A medical blood check will tell me if drugs are in his body.

I got one drug addict worker before. He didn't do any crime but one day he just ran away from his hostel when high on drugs. Naked some more... After we managed to find him he is already at his home. Saying he wont return anymore, saying his hostel got ghost wanted to kill him. Even his salary also don't want.

I usually will give them chance but if I caught them taking drugs I will immediately fire them.

I open this thread and others for engaging in healthy social debate, to share experiences and to discuss in a matured manner etc.

I have never resorted to calling names, labelling people derogatory words, this and that, using profanities etc.

Everytime you utter such things how about yourself?

Don't you have manners? Don't you feel shame?

Take a look in the mirror and see.

You are free to disagree, or to agree, or to suggest.

If you want to discuss and engage, I'm happy to.

But if you want to have destructive comments, wisecracks or to be rude etc etc, I will close this thread.

This is after all - Serious Kopitiam

Can we ask police to come and do urine test?

Zero tolerance policy on substance abuse

Everybody also say like this but how to carry it out?

I.e. to identify and to execute an action plan.

"Random" drug test to everyone in the department

Does the department colleagues know, though?

Then, why not a random blood test? No time to take MC
