Rethinking Marijuana Testing in Idaho Workplaces

With the changing laws and societal views in regards to marijuana use, it's time to revisit and adjust your drug testing policies so that you can be certain that they align with current realities. Here’s how:

Updating Drug Testing Protocols

Traditionally, many companies have enforced zero-tolerance policies toward marijuana use. However, with shifting legal statuses and a competitive job market, it would be better to assess whether these policies still serve your organization's best interests.

• Balancing Hiring Needs with Safety - In regions like Boise, maintaining strict zero-tolerance policies may limit your hiring pool, especially as more individuals use marijuana legally outside of work hours. These individuals could be from neighboring states that legalized the use of the drug. Consider whether such policies might exclude otherwise qualified candidates.​
   
• Safety and Performance Considerations - While relaxing policies, do your best to not let marijuana use impair job performance or compromise workplace safety. Implementing performance-based evaluations can help address these concerns.​
