Supervisors are the “Avengers” in DFWP programs

Front-line supervisors sit in a power position and can make or break a company’s drug-free workplace (DFWP) efforts. They serve as the eyes, ears and noses of the company and set the stage for how issues will (or won’t) be addressed. Research indicates they can also directly influence an employee’s decision to drink or use illicit drugs on, and possibly even off, the job.

It is advantageous for company owners and high-level decision makers to recognize the obstacles that can stand between supervisors and their willingness to properly address workplace substance misuse issues.
