Soul Songs

When we say “soul songs” we are not talking about the style of music. We are actually talking about the phenomenon when people bring their inner most selves out into the open to air them and reveal their deepest feelings or thoughts. Soul songs occur in moments of deep pain, strength or need for strength, and in moments of deep reflection and joy. Soul songs bring us back to our inner nature and help us to see what it is that we need to understand before we can continue the adventure we call life.

Now that we have all of the philosophical points out of the way, let’s see what we can do with some practical points.

If someone loves their job, they receive great feelings of accomplishment from performing their tasks and creating something or keeping equipment functioning or helping people. Whatever it is that they do, if they love their job, it feeds their spirit and they derive a great amount of satisfaction from it. However, if they are around someone who has a substance abuse problem, the discord emanating from the abuser really affects the peace and job satisfaction of the individual in question here. They may love their job, but they are not able to fully enjoy it if substance abusers are allowed to disturb their peace.

Of course, there are many reasons to identify abusers in the workplace besides addressing job satisfaction for those who are actually doing their job. Employees who are fit for duty make themselves available for this satisfaction. They align themselves with the purpose of the job. They choose, and this is a conscious choice, to enjoy their work.

And, their work flourishes.

Employee drug testing is meant to do one thing and one thing only: to identify problem employees so that you can address their problems. None of this is meant to alienate or attack anyone. Drug test kits help you to see who needs help, not who to dump on. Employees who abuse alcohol or drugs obviously need some of help, even if you can’t be the one to help them. CMM Technology delivers this drug test equipment to your place of business.

Taking In All That Is Good

Workplace Drug Test

We are told from the age of young childhood that we should help other people and be generous and that we should not be selfish or entirely self serving. Of course, that can lead to an extreme mentality where a person doesn’t feel comfortable accepting good things from other people. They may even feel guilty for taking on good things or accepting favors or even acknowledging tokens of good will, since they are terrified of being seen as pompous or lordly.

Of course, everything must be done in season and in measure, but most people are not always aware of what is reasonable and what is extreme behavior or what are extreme thought habits to have. Taking in all that is good is a good thing. It means being willing to use those things and not always giving them away again. It is part of being a good steward, and we all know that good stewards don’t seek to get rid of everything they have all of the time. They seek to find purpose for their resources and productivity for their stores and blessings.

When you order drug test equipment from CMM Technology, we know that you are taking process in one of the oldest and most time honored traditions of employee evaluation in modern times. We set a priority on our drug testing kits and alcohol tests so that we only provide the best equipment for each subcategory of urine drug tests, saliva drug test, or personal breathalyser devices. Of course, we are also NATA accredited for our breathalyser recalibration service.

What could be better? Taking in all that is good is…good! We know that you want to be able to check on your employees without getting into emotionally charged arguments with your managers about whom they prefer and who was on time. No, it is better to use science and get the basic minimal information about their compliance with company policy without all of the office drama. So, when you are looking for a breathalyser, like our Lifeloc FC10, remember that CMM Technology distributes our drug test kits all over Australia and to select countries outside of our great nation.

How to Deal with Tipsy Employees

drug testing experts

You may have just had an office party, celebrated someone’s birthday, or just gone out with your workers and returned to work to finish a project. Whatever the case, there are times when a seemingly legitimate situation turns into a situation where your employees are at work and tipsy.

If at all possible, when you know about a tipsy employee, it may be best to get them off of the jobsite as soon as possible and get them in a taxi going home. That way, there is no liability to your company. In addition to this, tipsy employees must be appropriately reprimanded, but the key word here is “appropriately.” You see, it perhaps should not take more than a short side note, a quick conversational “for your information,” in order to get your point across.

Anything more may be too heavy handed, considering.

Of course, if you find yourself tipsy, as well, then there is a bit more of a problem. You’re going to have let the entire office know that you should not have allowed things to progress to that extent and that you will not be continuing any more jobsite inebriation, and that you expect everyone else to follow suit. This way, you are taking full responsibility for your actions, but you are also making sure that everyone knows that you require them to increase their standards, as well.

If someone comes into work tipsy or becomes tipsy during the course of a regular workday, then you may need to use a breathalyser device and make sure, as well as providing documented evidence of their infraction. For this documentation, you need a qualified drug testing company, preferably an onsite testing company, which provides you with high quality service and mobile drug testing and alcohol testing. Now, Mediscreen is the company you should choose, and here’s why: We are NATA accredited to carry out onsite urine drug testing to AS4308. We provide our services to business Australia wide, and we know that if you have a large company or a business which conducts operations in a remote location, our onsite drug and alcohol testing services can be invaluable. Saving time and money is the name of the game.

The Brilliance of Diamonds

Urine Drug Test

Diamonds bring a strong shine and sparkling effect, a rainbow reflection effect, to any place or anybody’s person. The brilliance of diamonds is unsurpassable. In fact, if you have ever owned a well-cut diamond, then you know the benefit of having one around. Also, they are hard to lose, because their light reflecting qualities are so spectacular.

So, why are some things called hard as diamond? It is because diamonds are so hard and so dense that they can cut through glass like a knife through butter. Well, glass is hard and diamonds are hard. Surely, the cut would not be hardly noticeable, if anything more than a scratch. However, this is not the case. Because diamonds are so much denser and more compactly arranged on the atomic level than glass, it is easy for the cut diamond to separate the loosely bound together atoms of the pane of glass. It is very easy for diamonds, on a chemical or molecular level, to do this.

This is the difference between workers or employees of yours who resist something as simple and basic as drug abuse or alcoholism, and those of your workers who are unable to resist these hard temptations. The people who are stronger, who are the diamonds, are those who have grown a certain amount of emotional strength within themselves. However, if you engage in any kind of substance abuse, your become very dependent upon it, and can be easily sliced through, like glass by diamond, when and if anyone says even the most remotely upsetting thing.

Do you want to be that weak? Do you want your employees to be that weak? A workplace environment should be made up of people who work equally to contribute to the good of the company. It should not be made up of people who are all heavily dependent upon things outside of their jobs, incomes, and working relationships. You see, those are the kinds of people who find it more difficult to stay loyal or to be strong in the face of business adversity.

CMM Technology, a drug test equipment distributor, can fix you up with as many screening tests and recalibration services as you can possible use.

We’re A Thousand Miles from Nowhere

Saliva Drug Test

Often, people who run inside of a crowd feel very lonely. Crowds don’t bring people closer together, but rather distance them from each other by creating an audience for your every waking moment. When people are around crowds a lot, particularly introverted people but this also applies to extroverts, they find themselves needing some down time and needing to regroup before going back out into the crowds of people again. Unfortunately, in big cities and in urban areas, this is not always possible. It is a matter of privacy and closeness, of intimacy and renewal. Crowds can create a spirit of excitement and anticipation, but they cannot create that deep personal involvement which makes human interaction so deep and meaningful.

However, some people have discovered a way around this, through the use of meditation and deep, soul cleansing practices. Through the art of meditation, people can become distanced from their lives and their problems, from their families and their issues. They can get a thousand miles from nowhere, so that they can focus on their deep, inner strength and growth. This is highly effective and should be used often. If only it were used by everyone who needs it.

The alternative, of course, is to abuse illicit substances on the worksite, like drugs and alcohol. It’s too bad that your employees are suffering to this degree. If only they made themselves available for quality self care. It is this separation from the world, this separation the mundane, exciting, and chivalrous, separation from the nerves and the emotions and the practicality, which brings inner peace into our souls. CMM Technology provides drug test equipment if you would like to make quite sure that your workers are not abusing illicit substances on your worksite. We provide high quality NATA accredited breathalyser recalibration services, as well as our drug testing and alcohol test, all of which are quality, affordable, and easy to use. If you are looking for employee drug testing which is easy to use and good to maintain, then go with products from CMM Technology.

The Sneer

Saliva Drug Test

Contempt is the universal sign for strong hatred or disgust. Contempt for anyone is a very strong emotion and it is usually brought upon by a long standing bad relationship between two people or two entities.

Bad feelings or bad vibes between two people do not ever have to rise to the level of contempt, even if the rivalry has been going on for decades. Rather, contempt is usually brought on by something very personal and usually a long term active damage to the relationship between the two people, whatever type of relationship it might be.

Employees must get along well in order to be more productive in your business. You cannot have an appropriately functioning business if your workers cannot stand each other or cannot maintain a civil distance between each other. It is the responsibility of an adult to make sure that their own behavior does not fall to the level of childishness. There must be a certain amount of understanding between coworkers, or your business is being torn apart from within.

Contempt is so strong and so damaging that it usually takes mutually shared trials or something “Hallmark” like that in order to get two people to reunite after mutual contempt. Fortunately, such personal hatred is rarely so strong between workers.

Now, if you have someone who is contemptuous of everyone around them, it may not be because they have Napoleon complex. It may be that they are suffering from psychological reconditioning after having abused substances for some time. You may want to check up on that. While individual drug testing is usually an emergency or really obvious case, it can also be moved up for the whole staff, just in case. You determine what needs to be done and do it.

Now, for your drug test equipment, you may want to try our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6. We also have a variety of other drug test kits and alcohol breathalyser to choose from. We even provide a recalibration service, and will recalibrate your current equipment, not just ones that we carry.

The Sacrifices We Make

Urine Drug Test

When we make sacrifices, we transfer a part of ourselves to the object or person at hand. Sacrifices are, indeed, a transference of part of a person. Today, we may make sacrifices of our time or money, and tomorrow, we may make sacrifices of our possessions or our energy. Whatever the case may be, you will always find out somewhat after the fact whether or not your sacrifice was, indeed, worth it in the end.

In many way, there is no way of knowing if someone is worth the sacrifice you are putting into them until you see what they do with your contribution or if they even do anything at all. The sacrifices we make are somewhat risky, but they reveal our true character and the character of our benefactors.

A good steward of someone else’s resources always has high quality, strong character. But, if they cannot even put the energy of someone into good use, then they might as well not receive anything at all, for all of the good that it will do. You must be able to discern, over time, what sacrifices are worth it and which are not.

Now, in the field of drug testing, CMM Technology has contributed a great deal of drug test equipment and breathalyser devices to businesses all over Australia, and many businesses find the use of our drug test kits to be well worth the cost. Highly accurate equipment is necessary in order to properly run a business, and many people find that the trade off for our own equipment is well worth the price of it. Companies all over Australia find CMM Technology to be a steady, reliable supplier of drug testing equipment, and that is an excellent reputation to possess.

If there is ever anything CMM Technology can do to make your business experience more enjoyable, we invite you to check out our products on our website and then give us a call and ask us questions specific to your situation. We have distributed alcohol test and drug tests to many different kinds of businesses, and so we will most likely be able to help you with any of your own needs.

The Boundaries are Already in Place

Urine Drug Test

Okay, so you have your workers gathered together and you have told them that you will be using drug test equipment from CMM Technology in the future. If you haven’t been using employee drug testing in the past, then you have probably just broken that news to them, as well. They will be getting regularly scheduled screenings.

At this point, you may be concerned about what will happen if you get undesired results from any of their drug testing. Well, we are here to assure you that, if that does happen, boundaries are already in place, in the form of your company’s policies.

Your business will have policies which delineate all of the appropriate behavior for employees and what the options are if these policies are disregarded or broken. In addition to your company’s basic structure, you also may have other programs in which your workers can enroll and get help so that they can continue working for you. Be sure and have a full awareness and maybe even some volunteer experience with these programs so that you know what to recommend to your employee if something unwanted shows up on their drug testing results.

The boundaries are already in place. All you have to do is follow the wall, stay your course, and follow company procedure all of the way to its end. In this manner, you can be assured of a happy, healthy workplace environment for both you and your employees.

You know, not everyone realizes how important it is to have an atmosphere of health, tolerance, and safety. But, with that atmosphere comes a great desire to do more and be more as people. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you invest in some high quality drug test equipment from CMM Technology, regularly implement employee drug testing, and bring your workplace safety up into the stratosphere.

To place an order with us, first look at the equipment you have used in the past or that you plan on using in the future. Then, browse our website and pick out the best alcohol test and drug test kits for the job.

The Assumption of Evil

Alcohol Test

There is an assumption of there being great evil in this world. Evil people, evil circumstances, evil deities…a lot of it flies over the heads of those who use that terminology when asked to define evil. When asked to define what or who is evil, they cannot answer. The assumption remains, but the truth is that many people bring death and destruction into their own lives, and very little of it is “inflicted” upon them by an outside perpetrator. We are all flawed humans doing the best with what we have available to us.

Now, when people bring death and destruction into their own lives, there can be a great desire to put the guilt onto someone else, but when you engage in drug or alcohol abuse, you are putting your fate into things which do not have your best interests at heart. If you do this, then the trouble you attract to yourself is practically to be expected.

When you are looking to bring your workers through the employment and career process safely and effectively, you must make note of any substance abuse which they may acquire on their record while being at your business. This can only be done by employee drug testing, and that requires urine drug test or oral fluid drug tests, as well as alcohol tests, all of which are available through CMM Technology. We bring high quality drug test equipment to your business, anytime, anywhere in Australia. There is so much “evil” in this world, each individual bringing in their own share of troubles, and then perhaps putting the responsibility on someone else’s shoulders, but they bring it, nonetheless.

When you wish to secure your business assets, you cannot do so through control, but you can find out if your employees are obeying company policy, and the scientific data acquired through drug testing is unmatched. CMM Technology provides you with all of the tools which you will need to have at your disposal in order to understand who may need to be watched, disciplined, or let go based upon their substance abuse record in the workplace.

Wildness and Its Emotionless Spirit

Alcohol Test

Wildness is one of the best things a company can have. Another name for it is the entrepreneurial spirit. Some call it motivation, and some call it ambition. Whatever the case, wildness is part of what brings a company to life, makes it exciting to work in, and gives it that extra spark that clients and customers find so beguiling. Wildness is also part of the emotionless spirit of the office and worksite. When stress and worry and doubt and fear are gone, then everything works out better or even for the best, and it is all good.

Breathalyser devices test for alcohol consumption while on or near the worksite, while drug test kits check for employee substance abuse under the same circumstances. Onsite drug testing uses drug test equipment on a regular basis, since regular lab testing is not available. Therefore, you may have to order your urine drug tests and saliva drug tests separately from your testing procedures. The important thing when using onsite drug testing is to have appropriate equipment, though. I will keep all good that I have. You must implement employee drug testing using proper drug test kits and other screening tests.

Without reliable equipment, you’ll be looking at unsuccessful screening, and this is just a waste of money.

Spend some resources on the effective drug test equipment distributed by CMM Technology. We have a reputation to uphold and we are proud to honor it.

Take a look around your business. Look at all of your resources, from your workers to your products and services. Help your clients to see how confident you are in your company’s fine quality standard. Help everyone to see how much you value high quality workers over slovenly, lazy people with bad attitudes. Show what you can do with a good team behind you.

Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6 urine drug test, Alere DDS2, OralCube and OratectXP saliva drug test are just a few of the products we offer in our product line. Help your employees understand what it’s like to work without the stress and emotional draining which comes from workers who abuse substances. Look us up and check us out today.

Trustworthy Workers

Urine Drug Test

What defines a trustworthy worker? For some, it may be involved being a worker themselves before they can truly answer this. What happens when you are not in your position of leadership but working down among the employees yourself? What happens when you gain their perspective and understand what is hard for them and what is easy for them? Can you rely upon them as you would your right arm? Do you require far less commitment than that, but you desire to have someone who is always and steadily at work, without exception?

There are many ways of defining trustworthiness. One may even say that always passing your drug testing would mean trustworthiness, but this is an evaluative tool only, and it only ever measures the ability of an employee to come to work without abusing substances either before or during their arrival on the jobsite. That is it. It measures nothing else.

Workers are not just defined by their technical skill, but also their ability to work well with people. They are calm and disassociated from upset clients. They are able to manage the situation calmly, with full attention and a clear head.

These employees are invaluable, and their trustworthiness is not questioned.

If they abuse substances, however, it will not remain a hidden secret. Their behavior will change, sometimes without their knowledge, but everyone else will see it. Everyone else will know about the person and their starvation habits and meagerness of spirit. There will be an affectation to the way they work with clients. There will be a quality in the gaze of their eyes which will seem less direct, less clear, and less trustworthy.

The sake of your business, if not for the sake of your clients, use employee drug testing, and use drug test equipment from CMM Technology. We are even accredited by NATA for our breathalyser recalibration service. There is so much to gain by ordering our products over those of our competitors. We treat our business clients with courteous decorum and only deliver the finest of equipment, including our Lifeloc FC10 Plus, a popular breathalyser device of ours.

Circles of Blame

Saliva Drug Test

During the course of your career, you will find many people who blame you for things and who you blame, as well. Now, blame is in itself not a bad thing. Sometimes, you need to hold people responsible for their actions and to make sure that they do their work and do not leave you in the lurch. Also, you may need to understand how your actions have affected others, so blame may be applicable to you.

However, many people, especially in leadership roles, view teams as teams, and they do not wish to hear how someone did their job while other people did not. Often, it is clear if there is an obvious winner or someone who has done a particularly creative thing, and this will come out over the long haul. The little things, however, need to be tamed into submission. There must not be pettiness and silly rivalries within a team. Each member must contribute what they do best.

In the case of our drug test equipment, CMM Technology feels like a member of a global team. We provide high quality drug test kits, like our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6, and alcohol breathalyser devices, such as our Lifeloc FC10 breathalyser, to businesses all over Australia. With our drug test equipment, these companies perform great transactions with other companies all over the world. There is a great spirit of trust and teamwork and leadership and self accountability which takes place. There is a lot of work that gets done. Time and labor and products are traded back and forth. The global community as a whole is well taken care of. Isn’t that what open trade agreements and cultural fellowship are about? Isn’t that what makes living in this unique world so wonderful? There are so many things to explore and do.

Let us make your business a safer place to work and to interact with other cultures from. Allow us the honor and privilege of helping you hold on to your way to further growth and more revenues. We are one of the leading companies in Australia dealing in drug test equipment.

Thriving Under Pressure and Creating Your Own Stress

Workplace Drug Testing

If you are one of those people who thrive under pressure, then chances are you have procrastinated a few times in your life, not because you wanted to put it off, but because you wanted the added pressure that it created.

The author used to be so good at memorizing piano pieces for piano recitals, that they finally got to where they would wait until the night before the recital before memorizing, and in some cases even practicing, the piece. While this fulfilled their need for added stress and pressure, it was not a very efficient or sound way of going about things.

If you, too, have this issue, then you can create your own stress by simply piling up the amount or quality of work that you must do. In the beginning, I recommend only piling up the amount of work, because this will still involve your current skill level, but make things comfortably more pressurized for you. Once you get comfortable with that, then it is recommended that you begin raising your quality of work, first for only a few pieces, and then to increasing amounts until you are delivering a higher level of quality in all of your work. Then, start the whole process over again, from beginning to end.

However, for most people, this phenomenon is simply a recipe for disaster. They may even resort to alcoholism or drug abuse to deal with the added pressure and stress in their lives. For this reason, and having nothing at all to do with the fact that we sell these products, CMM Technology strong recommends that you invest in the purchase of some drug test equipment, choosing from an array of breathalyser devices and saliva and urine drug test. After all, you have to make sure that your workers are fit for duty and are not being completely swallowed by all of the stress in their lives.

It’s the responsible thing to do.

Really, it has nothing to do with the fact that CMM Technology specializes in and only sells alcohol test and drug test kits. It has nothing to do with that, we promise.
