Your Employees (And Candidates) Are On Drugs

This critical, solutions-based program is presented by Award-winning author and international keynote speaker Andy Masters, MA, CSP. This shocking program exposes the nearly $1 Billion dollar fake “synthetic” urine industry which enables employees and candidates to successfully cheat employer drug tests–and it’s damaging impact on every organization during our tragic U.S. opioid crisis. Research proves the staggering time and cost impact from workplace drug usage on employee productivity, risk, safety, workers comp claims, and violence in the workplace. Precedent has now been set for legal liability against the vast majority of U.S. organizations which have not effectively screened employees and candidates amid changing marijuana laws.

Most importantly, this program outlines the simple, yet critical action steps organizations must implement to stop the cheating immediately–in order to hire qualified applicants, improve employee productivity, improve workplace safety, and lessen the dangerous legal liability for their organization. The impact of this program may not only save entire organizations from legal crises, but can also help prevent yet another drug-related workforce tragedy in our country.

Association Chapter & Board Leadership Mastery

This powerful program is for all Association, Chapter, Board, Committee, and Chamber leaders who lead volunteers! Award-winning author and Leadership expert Andy Masters EMPOWERS leaders to EMPOWER their Boards – in this challenging era of having to “Do More With Less” – and truly helps overcome the non-profit/Board death cycle of “80% of the work is done by 20% of the people“. This is why new ideas, great successes, and record years never happen – as most leaders assume all tasks with moderate-at-best results, while “running themselves into the ground.”

• Recruit future leaders and Engage new participation.
• Empower individuals for their talents to shine.
• Inspire to have the BEST year EVER as an organization.
• Appreciate every step a volunteer contributes.
• Reward and celebrate every success.

Powerful leadership principles are based on Andy’s latest book “Things LEADERS Say: A Daily Guide to Help Every Leader Empower & Inspire” – but this program also includes actual license-protected movie scenes from films such as Star Wars, Apollo 13, X-Men, The Iron Lady – and even Frozen and Office Space. Andy’s program provides attendees with not only an interactive multi-media experience, but also with immediate “take-home” action items to help EMPOWER leaders to EMPOWER their Boards, and ignite the best Association year EVER.
