The Cheapest Way
Ben Franklin used to say “A penny saved is a penny earned”. The cheapest way for an employer to do drug testing is to “do it right”. The cheapest way to do it right is to use excellent Laboratory Testing services; have the laboratory results reviewed by an outstanding Medical Review Officer; working through a TPA with qualified people (like the folks at Drug Screens Plus who have earned C-SAPA credentials) with years of experience, yet up-to-date with current developments in the substance abuse testing field; with the employer’s DER following policies and procedures that are well-thought out (like a Drug Screens Plus Model Program) including not just the basics Covered Employee Education and Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion Training but also providing readily available help with issues that arise in regard to Random, Post-Accident, and Reasonable Suspicion testing, and the thousand other little details that nobody ever thought about…except those people over at Drug Screens Plus. You get more out of Drug Screens Plus, because we put more into it.
A business mentor once told me how important it was to separate “Effectiveness” from “Efficiency”…and to put them in the right order.
Effectiveness means “doing right things.”
Efficiency means “doing things right.”
In business it is extremely important to get them in the right order:
1st Effectiveness, then Efficiency.
If you focus on Efficiency 1st and you’re not doing right things,
you just get deeper in trouble faster and faster.
That’s why we put so much emphasis on Model Programs and policies & procedures, as well as staffing our company with some of the most qualified and most experienced people in the industry. If you’re not “doing right things”, is it really to your company’s advantage to do the wrong things faster and cheaper? Doing parts of your program faster and cheaper isn’t “more efficient” when it increases the potential liability of your entire program.
We do right things, and then do those things right. But, what about you? When you don’t know what you don’t know, how do you know what things are right things? Remember: one of the right things we do is to maintain one of the most qualified and experienced staff in this business. So, when you (as a Drug Screens Plus client) have questions or face a unique situation, we’re there for you to help you identify issues you may have overlooked, help you make right choices, and do right things! Call us!
Our clients have rewarded our effectiveness with their loyalty and referrals…and the resultant growth created efficiencies. For example, we gain “economy of scale” efficiency by doing tens of thousands of drug tests every year. That’s enough for us to qualify for the best lab rates and therefore to be able to “amortize” the costs of a superior staff to a per-test rate that is very competitive. That’s why we firmly believe: The cheapest way for an employer to do drug testing is to “do it right”.
