Ignoring the Influences of Others

We all have an inordinately high amount of influence over each other, much more so than we give credit to other people for, largely because we do not like to think of ourselves as being that easily influenced. It is not in our nature to so easily forgive in ourselves such a seeming fallacy which could be corrected by being a little more assertive and creative about our own talents and abilities.

Ignoring the influences of others is, however, quite another matter. Drug testing Australia exists today because this influence is so strong and carries such a great deal of power with it. Any self respecting individual is not likely to freely admit that their friends and coworkers tell them how to live their lives and what norms they should set in the privacy of their own homes.

The truth of the matter is that many people are influenced into abusing drugs and alcohol by an acquaintance and not, as can sometimes be surmised, by some sort of stress inducing life event. Obviously, such a life event would be so startlingly traumatic that it does, indeed, drive many people to drinking and so forth, but influence from others can be what makes someone feel that their abuse or addiction is not such an abnormality, after all. Onsite drug &alcohol testing is the result of a great deal of effort, not just on the part of the drug testing equipment makers, but also the testing services administered by companies like our Mediscreen. In order to cooperate fully and for everyone in the network to get the most money out of the cooperation, of course we must all work together. But when one person possesses or is allowed to possess undue influence over others, even a system like ours can make lower level employees feel as if their voices are not being heard, and as if they perhaps need to reduce their stress in some other way.

There is, of course, no earthly excuse for showing up to work intoxicated by drugs or alcohol or abusing them on the worksite, so it remains very important to be fully aware of such circumstances when they arise. That is why Mediscreen is in such demand: (+61) 1300 79 70 40.
