Ohio Employers Seen As Key Resource in Fighting Drug Epidemic

Historically, many different sectors have been involved in addressing our society’s drug epidemic, but only recently has the business community been acknowledged as a key player in eradicating and preventing this crippling issue. The current wave of solutions to Ohio’s epidemic recognizes that employers can be part of the solution. What exactly is being done and how does it impact Ohio employers?

Medical Marijuana ... how prepared is your business?

As dispensaries continue to open around Ohio, it continues to be important for businesses to figure out how they will respond to an employee using medical marijuana. It can be a difficult decision to make, and it is one that should not be ruled by emotions, but by well thought out and researched reasons.

Working Partners® has tools to help you not only think through how your business wants to respond to medical marijuana, but also communicate those expectations to employees.
