Reasonable Suspicion Supervisor Training

This training is for when you have a suspicion that one of your staff may be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol while on the job. All too often, such suspicions go unanswered because managers either don’t know how to or don’t have the power to enforce a drug test.
