In this installment of our Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2025 podcast series, shareholders Christina Mallatt (Indianapolis), who co-chairs the firm’s Drug Testing Practice Group, and Brent Kettelkamp (Minneapolis) discuss the history of drug testing and the current dynamics of this complex and rapidly evolving field. Brent and Christina focus on the implications of legal marijuana use and the growing prevalence of opioid use, whether legal or otherwise. The speakers also explore how employers can establish and enforce effective and legally compliant drug and alcohol testing policies and protocols that are specifically tailored to meet their workplace safety requirements and align with their company culture.
