How much will a drug-free workplace cost me?
The nominal costs of establishing a drug free workplace program should always be weighed against the high risks of not having a program in place. For many employers, one serious accident, one major financial problem, one breach of confidentiality or one troubled employee can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and even jeopardize a company's financial future. The Camden County Chamber of Commerce is excited to bring this great program back to Camden County employers.
