With the return of workers to the office, there has been a stark increase in workplace bullying. With low unemployment rates and workplace morale already low, employers can neither afford nor do they want to have a bully making the work environment toxic and driving away good workers. Unfortunately, bullying often occurs outside a supervisor’s presence or in off-duty communications, namely social media. In many instances the bully is an otherwise high performer.

This session will address how to identify, document, fact find, and address protected class neutral bullying. Disciplining a bad attitude is difficult. Specific examples will be provided on how to do so in a manner that protects your organization from a legal challenge for wrongful termination. The presenters will also provide strategies to prevent workplace bullying and reduce the risks of a toxic work environment.

The drug test positivity rate among America’s workforce reached its highest rate in 2021 since 2001. (Source: Quest Diagnostics, the world’s leading provider of diagnostic information services). As employers strive to create and maintain safe workplaces, the 2021 positivity rate represented an increase of 31.4 percent from the all-time low of 3.5% just 10 years ago. Spikes in positivity rates even from 2020 to 2021 were staggering for cocaine, methamphetamines, and marijuana.

This session is presented by two employment lawyers who previously served as a criminal prosecutor and public defender handling drug and alcohol related offenses. The presenters will provide an overview of workplace drug and alcohol issues, as well as discuss employer obligations and risks as analyzed by OSHA and applicable laws. Presenters will review drug and alcohol policies and make suggestions based on industry, paying particular attention to addressing how employers should navigate the legalization of marijuana in some states. This session will also tackle reasonable suspicion testing, including providing detailed guidance on identifying symptoms consistent with alcohol and drug impairment. It will address post-accident testing legal restrictions, pre-employment testing pros and cons, searching employees for drugs, and whether zero tolerance policies are still viable in the current workforce climate.
