Our organization is looking at ways to improve the efficiency of onboarding new employees and is considering stopping pre placement urine drug testing.

Historically the UDT has been done by our own lab and has been rate limiting and of concern from a compliance process.

Do you do UDT at preplacement? If so, why?

If your organization does UDT at pre placement is it outsourced?

Is it an HR process or an employee health process?

Thank you

Charlie
