Cannabis Legalization | Where does your organization stand?

Is your company ready to face the legalization of cannabis? Like alcohol, even if consuming cannabis is legal, this does not mean that it will be tolerated on the work premises. However, do your employees know this?

Even with the legalization of this substance, the effects they have on the behaviour, judgement and performance of your team are not to be taken lightly.

Think about the decrease in psychomotor skills, the lack of filters, mistakes of judgement, etc. The list can be very long!

All factors will affect your employees’ performance if they consume marijuana before going to work. This can have a significant, even fatal, impact on your company’s performance.

Do not wait for the situation to escalate and immediately opt for adopting a clear policy regarding the consumption of cannabis at work.

You do not know where to start? Do not worry, Bedard Resources has the solution you need. Did you know we offer companies consultation services? We can support you in your procedure to avoid that this new federal law harm your organization.
