| description | Since logistics employee substance abuse can have a significant
negative effect on logistics efficiency and effectiveness, logistics
managers should develop policies and procedures effectively to control
logistics employee substance abuse. This article provides a benchmark
for managers who seek to develop such policies by reporting the results
of a survey of current US corporate logistics substance abuse policies
and practices. Forty per cent of the respondents reported not having a
written substance abuse policy. The most widely used detection methods
were management observation followed by drug testing. Only 50 per cent
of the firms employed pre-employment screening and less than 40 per cent
screened current logistics employees. Of those who did drug test, more
than two-thirds tested for cause only, in all logistics occupations
except truck driver, airline pilot and vehicle mechanic. Logistics
management should aggressively pursue substance abuse policy
development, pre-employment screening, detection methods for all job
classifications and employee assistance programmes. |
