On Site Drug Testing Saves
Money, Time and Effort
Most people do not want to
handle, never mind examine, another person’s urine. However, the benefits of
in-house drug testing vs. outsourcing to a clinic are abundant and should not
be ignored or dismissed due to personal views.
Many employers, up to 78
percent, require drug testing for at least a particular segment of their workforce.
According to HireRight’s 2013 Employment Screening
Benchmarking Report, this
number is even higher in highly regulated industries such as transportation,
which is reported at 98 percent. Staffing agencies, employers and pain
management facilities can all benefit from the cost, time and productivity
savings seen from using on site drug testing methods over the traditional
method of outsourcing testing to laboratories.
Cost Benefits
According to the Millennium Research Institute, most pain management facilities and chronic
care physicians drug test patients two to six times per year in order to increase
the effectiveness of treatments, by discouraging the use of non-prescribed
substances, through structured care. On average, standard drug testing can cost
anywhere from $200 to almost $400 per test. Most do-it yourself drug test as a
comparison cost under $20 per test.
For Staffing Agencies, positions
need to be filled yet employers who have drug testing policies have a
responsibility to ensure the potential candidate is drug free. By installing
in-house drug testing procedures, over 90% of costs are saved (including lower
rates for workers’ compensation insurance), results are almost immediate and
job candidate’s experiences are improved. If your business does a significant
amount of testing, whether it is future hiring applicants or patients, in-house
testing can be a great way to save money.
Time is Money
For employers and staffing
agencies, drug testing is usually the last step before a potential candidate is
welcomed aboard, and the need for fast results is often high. In-house or
on-site drug testing is an economical method of testing employees and potential
candidates for staffing and corporate companies. Most standard drug testing
results from a laboratory can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, while in-house
drug testing; results can be available within minutes. This means, that an
employer can find out much faster if a candidate does not pass their test,
which in turns helps the hiring process by moving to the next candidate
quicker.
Another way in-house drug
testing helps save time is the locations itself. If you are in a remote
location, chances are a drug testing lab may be more than 30 miles from your
work site. As an employer, you want to make the on-boarding process as easy as
can be. Drug testing at your location, can speed the process along. With the
amount of time it takes to find ideal job candidates, research outsourced drug
testing facility options, travel to and from said outsourced facility and wait
for test results, an employer could have instead used on site drug testing
kits, and saved a lot of time, effort and money.
Improved Productivity
The Millennium Research
Institute observed that increased on-site testing not only improves the
effectiveness of chronic pain treatments, but also decreases the amount of
absenteeism and lack of productivity due to pain, provides suffering employees
with legitimate documentation of sustaining from drug use (if ever needed for
workers compensation or legal issues) and provides physicians with peace of
mind regarding patients potential misuse of prescribed medications which could
lead to a physician’s loss of job and or professional reputation.
The cost savings for staffing
agencies, employers and pain management facilities alone is enough to consider
implementing processes to test for drugs on site rather than outsourcing
testing to an expensive laboratory. With the number of low cost drug testing
kits available, switching testing methods can be quick and easy, saving time,
effort, money and much more.
