What is "Drugs Don't Work"?

Drugs Don't Work is a proven program offered by the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce. It is designed to help you create a Drug-Free Workplace for your organization and - in doing so - help eradicate drugs from our community.

The Drugs Don't Work program will show you how to:

• Meet the Workers' Compensation Requirement to get premium discounts.
• Write a policy fitting your company's needs.
• Implement an employee assistance program (EAP).
• Organize an education program.
• Establish drug testing.

What are the benefits?

Benefits include:

• Enhance Productivity.
• Improve your products and services.
• Enable better service for your clients.
• Help employees and their dependents lead healthier lives.
• Lower Workers' Compensation Premiums (5% for 2005-2006).
• Reduced Liability.
• Providing a safe workplace is a responsibility of every employer. Increasingly, this condition is affected by substance abuse. The employer who does not recognize this fact risks being sued for inattention or negligence. Negligent hiring and negligent retention are gaining recognition in the courts.
