Staffing Agencies Drug Test New Hires Employers are increasingly turning to staffing agencies to drug test applicants and weed out users before they even see them by Nina Fenton Published on October 30 2015 Its no secret that drug use and abuse is on the rise in our country which has many businesses struggling to find and hire new employees who are able to pass a drug test This dilemma has sparked a growing trend among businesses both big and small as they turn to staffing agencies with strict and consistent drug testing policies in place as a way to obtain new employees A recent survey from Staffing Talk was presented to employment agencies across the country in an attempt to determine hiring and drug testing trends An impressive 45 of the staffing companies surveyed reported that drug tests were conducted on any and all candidates seeking to be placed in a position with one of their clients Of those surveyed 95 said that the positions applied for have no impact on the decision to drug test a candidate The duration of employment does not impact hiring agencies either 92 of those surveyed claim to conduct the same drug tests as part of their established hiring procedures regardless of temp part time or full time positions West Virginia employers look to staffing agencies for help One state noticing a distinct increase in the trend of using hiring agencies is West Virginia where drug use is continuing to climb at alarming rates WV holds the number one spot for the most drug overdose deaths in the nation As a result businesses are presented with the rather difficult task of attempting to hire new employees who are drug free and able to pass urine drug tests which is prompting many to turn to hiring agencies like Manpowers West Virginia division for help Manpower and other hiring agencies are fast becoming the goto source to fill employment needs as they are uptodate on drug testing methods implement a drug testing policy that is consistent regardless of the position type and duration of assignment and most importantly they are working to be a step ahead of applicants who try to pull a fast one by attempting to beat a test Drug Testing Systems for New Hires Each hiring agency has their own protocol when it comes to how new hires are interviewed what type of drug tests are used and any type of background screening that will be performed One thing is for certain though applicants interested in going through the hiring process and obtaining a position with any of their clients will be required to take and pass a drug test in order to advance to the next stage President of Manpowers West Virginia division Diane StongTreister gives an example of how her staffing agencys process She says First off we do interviews and test people on a daily basis for large companies and small companies across the state and I havent seen a big difference because people know the companies we hire for will ask for drug tests for references and background checks Subscribe to our blog for updates on this and related topics An Unbeatable System Most applicants walk in the door of a staffing agency aware of the probability of being tested for drugs before an official position can be offered However that doesnt mean that some candidates dont try to beat the system which has led some agencies to one up the wouldbe cheaters with hair drug tests These hair tests are becoming a common replacement for urine since theyre harder to beat go back longer and yield twice the rate of positives Manpower is well versed in the great lengths some applicants will go to in an attempt to skirt the system so switching to an alternate drug testing method seemed like an effective way to nip that situation in the bud as StongTreister explained They will ask to use the restroom and we will say go ahead and they will ask to do their urine test and they find out we do the swab first then they will so oh I forgot something in my car and we wont see them again she continued It is not uncommon for an applicant to fail a preemployment drug test Applicants who fail a drug test are not eligible for hire However some employment agencies including Manpower do grant applicants two additional opportunities to submit to a drug test If the test is passed they will then begin the process of locating a position within a local company and aiding the applicants through the remainder of the hiring process Many people who have used drugs in the past and wish to get clean and get a job get tested privately prior to even heading to an employment agency to make sure that theyre system is clean To find a location near you for drug testing enter your zip code below Use My Location OR Posted in Drug Testing Tagged in Drug Free Workplace Employers Urine Drug Tests

because more melanin in skin equals more wrinkle protection 5 of 11 Your smoothskin plan in your 30s Getty Images Add a retinoid This ingredient works by creating cellular turnover to exfoliate the skin and repair DNA which reverses sun damage and reduces the appearance of wrinkles says Ava Shamban MD a dermatologist in Beverly Hills Overthecounter creams with retinol like Eve Lom Time Retreat Intensive Night Cream 140 evelomcom are gentler than prescription retinoids like RetinA so theyre good for those with sensitive skin To minimize irritation begin applying every other night not during

wrinkles and creases according to research Think antioxidants Add a serum containing vitamin C vitamin E ferulic acid and phloretin to your morning routine says Dr Zeichner Applying it before SPF

Home Medical Diabetes News 14 November 2017 Heres how stress can cause diabetes Researchers established that people who suffer from work strain andor emotional stress are more likely to develop diabetes than those with relatively lower stress levels 0 Stress may increase your chances of getting diabetes The growing burden of represents a global health challenge with considerable consequences in terms of illness and discomfort health care costs and overall loss of economic productivity Projections show that the global prevalence of diabetes continues to increase with Africa facing an alarming acceleration in numbers The origins of this debilitating condition are multifactorial with genetics and poor lifestyle choices now fairly wellestablished as major contributors This increase is strongly linked to greater urbanisation and the adoption of detrimental lifestyle choices that include sedentary behaviour smoking and poor dietary preferences More recently however stress has also emerged as an important contributor to the onset of diabetes and therefore deserves some consideration Psychosocial stress Benjamin Franklins famous quote Time is money provides an apt metaphor describing contemporary Western societys problem with the perceived lack of time and the mad rush suffered almost daily Of concern is that time wasted and palpitations while sitting in a traffic jam or the rush to pick up the kids from school can trigger psychosocial stress that may elicit the development of diabetes in the longrun Stress can best be defined as a highly coordinated physiological response mediated by the nervous system followed by corresponding changes in behaviour and cognition in response to environmental challenges This response allows for adaptation to a changing environment Environmental stressors can be physical or psychological in nature each acting on distinct areas of the nervous system to elicit the release of stress mediators that help to reestablish balance in the body and ensure wellbeing However chronic stress disturbs several components of the stress response and this stimulus has been linked to the future onset of diabetes Although the prevalence of stress varies between countries and populations available figures show that developing nations are worst affected A recent survey ranked 74 countries for stress levels by focusing on eight equally weighted variables homicide rates income inequality corruption perception unemployment urban air pollution life expectancy purchasingpowerparity basis and gross product per capita Of note this information was compiled from global agencies such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime the International Monetary Fund the Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book Transparency International and the World Health Organisation These data revealed that developing countries occupied the first 20 positions with South Africa filling the top spot as most stressed nation in the world Addiction to mobile devices Is increased stress actually linked to the increased onset of diabetes There are studies that support the link between greater stress and the development of diabetes For example researchers established that individuals suffering from work strain andor emotional stress are several times more likely to develop diabetes than those with relatively lower stress levels Furthermore early life adversities job strain and various negative personality traits eg aggression anger hostility are linked to diabetes An additional concern is that psychological stress can manifest at relatively young ages thereby further compounding this problem For example a recent study by our research group at Stellenbosch University established that a South African female student cohort displayed relatively high stress levels In support some researchers found that low stress resilience in 18yearold males was associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes suggesting that the ability to cope with stress plays an important role in this instance The shift to a 247type of society and addiction to mobile devices has resulted in an increasing number of individuals especially youths not obtaining an adequate amount of sleep and presenting with a disturbed circadian rhythm Together such factors fuel the stress response thereby increasing the risk for the development of diabetes The mechanisms linking stress to diabetes remain relatively unclear but likely include indirect and direct pathways Direct mechanisms include overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system that is robustly implicated in this process Some studies show that downstream effects include increased inflammation together with elevated oxidative stress a form of damage to cells in the body Both factors are strongly linked to the onset of obesity insulin resistance and diabetes On the indirect front stressed individuals can also develop depression and then display perturbed dietary behaviour eg increased consumption of energydense foodstuffs and decreased micronutrient intake Here altered stressmediated dietary patterns together with lower metabolic rates can subsequently contribute to the onset of obesity diabetes and cardiovascular diseases Lifestylemediated changes What about those already saddled with diabetes In this case a vicious cycle may manifest as such individuals can display increased anxiety and depression most likely as a result of being burdened by their condition This in turn may trigger the mechanisms earlier discussed to further exacerbate their existing disease state So how does one begin to tackle this evil stressdiabetes axis To address the significant amount of stress South Africans face daily would require significant changes to the underlying structural flaws that sadly characterise our country at present This will require considerable political will together with the necessary fiscal support which appears highly unlikely with our current downward economic spiral It leaves the individual with among others pharmacotherapy treatment of disease with pharmaceutical drugs and counselling sessions that are relatively expensive Lifestylemediated changes may also be considered where appropriate Led by George Vaillant and Sheldon Glueck the Grant and Glueck Study from Harvard University provides useful insight in this instance as it tracked the emotional and physical wellbeing of Bostonians over a 75year period and found that good relationships are they key to a happier and healthier life The authors stressed that it is not the number of relationships but rather their quality that played a crucial role in this regard In my opinion this may be a good starting point to begin to counteract the harmful effects of chronic stress and related diseases such as diabetes Prof Faadiel Essop is a professor in the Department of Physiological Sciences and leader of the CardioMetabolic

Home Mental health Disorders 09 March 2004 Managing anxiety stress and tension All of us experience anxiety stress or tension at some or other stage in our lives If we do not cope with it immediately and deliberately it might overwhelm us and immobilise us for the tasks that we have to perform It forms the cornerstone of all forms of disease 0 Ask CyberShrink Talk Heart to heart forum 13 hidden signs of stress Regenerative medicine replacing brain cells lost from stroke All of us experience anxiety stress or tension at some or other stage in our lives If we do not cope with it immediately and deliberately it might overwhelm us and immobilise us for the tasks that we have to perform It forms the cornerstone of all forms of disease Therefore it is necessary to know about the effects of anxiety stress and tension and how we can cope with it In this case I am talking about stress as disease and not as a disease It is a symptom of a disease when the thyroid gland is malfunctioning for instance Then obviously you should get treatment for the thyroid gland that is malfunctioning and that will relieve the stress Anxiety stress and tension are terms that are often used as synonyms According to the dictionary anxiety refers to a state of being anxious about eminent danger being excessively concerned about the future Anxiety however is usually not linked to a specific person situation or experience which is feared It is a vague undefined tense feeling of dread that one experiences and which is difficult to control Stress refers to an effort or demand upon physical or mental energy Stress produces the same feelings as anxiety but it is usually linked to a specific significant other person situation or experience that one fears Examples would include an examination assignment or a superior person Tension on the other hand refers to mental strain or excitement a strained state or relationship If the symptoms are experienced acutely it is referred to as a panic attack All these definitions have in common the fact that individuals experience excessive uneasiness and that they worry as a result of perceived excessive or dangerous demands that are made on them on an interpersonal level The anxiety worry or tenseness could result in the impairment of social occupational physical and other important areas of functioning One could also say that individuals experience an excessive sensitivity for others opinions attitudes and demands Symptoms Experiencing anxiety stress or tension can lead to symptoms such as A Psychosomatic symptoms Getting tired very easily Muscle tension Palpitations a pounding heart or an accelerated heart rate Sweating cold sweat or hot flushes Shortness of breath a feeling of being choked or a smothering sensation with pain in the chest Nausea or abdominal distress Feeling numb or experiencing tingling sensations in certain parts of the body Experiencing a dry mouth and the urge to swallow repeatedly Diarrhoea Impotence or an excessive need for sex Asthma Feeling dizzy unsteady lightheaded or faint B Emotional symptoms Feeling depressed and downhearted at times Feeling detached from oneself Fear of losing control or going crazy Fear of dying Intense apprehension fearfulness or terror often associated with feelings of impending doom C Intellectual symptoms Difficulty concentrating on a specific task or experiencing the mind going blank clouding of consciousness Forgetfulness resulting from preoccupation with the problem D Behavioural symptoms Restlessness feeling keyed up or on edge Trembling or shaking Short tempered Withdrawal from interpersonal interaction Excessive smoking sleeping andor drinking Sleep disturbances finding it difficult to fall asleep or experiencing nightmares sleeping excessively or restless sleep waking up tired Not feeling hungry or eating excessively Slow psychomotor coordination Very often a person who experiences stress is inclined to shy away from interpersonal contact and is thus inclined to bottle up feelings instead of sharing them with others This bottling up of feelings and the corresponding tension could lead to psychosomatic symptoms as well as disturbed sleep sexual and eating patterns Your need for sex might be diminished or you could experience an excessive need for it to comfort you You also might not feel hungry In an attempt to overcome anxiety or tension you might resort to excessive smoking sleeping and drinking When stress is prevalent depression is underlying or dormant Once you give up handling and competing with the problems creating the stress depression sets in What can we do about it if we experience stress and anxiety or underlying depression How to cope with stress Peter discovered that he was in debt This realisation made it impossible for him to sleep He became very anxious and depressed and wanted to commit suicide He complained about it to a good friend The friend listened patiently as Peter told him of all his problems but when he replied he made no mention of the debts This surprised Peter very much Instead of discussing the debts the friend talked about what Peter owned about his money and about the friends who were ready to help him Suddenly the disturbed Peter saw his problems in a new light He This story teaches us that a healthy person is not one who is free of problems but one who deals with them One days happiness can make a person forget hisher misfortune and one days misfortune can make a person forget hisher past happiness Your subjective perception could be different As I have mentioned anxiety or stress implies an oversensitivity to others opinions attitudes and demands It is the meaning that you attach to significant other peoples opinions attitudes and demands that brings about the tension This being the case then surely communication between the concerned parties should alleviate the matter It sounds easy enough but we all have reservations about communicating about matters of a personal nature We always think What will he think of me if I told him this problem that I experience or She would think I am stupid to have such a problem or Why Keep fit To be able to perceive and handle problems effectively one must also be as physically fit as possible Tiredness can negatively influence the perception of definition of and possible solution of a problem The problem may then be perceived as overwhelming and insoluble Your definition of the problem could be different The solution to a problem lies in its meaning perception and definition If you define a problem as overwhelming it will appear insoluble Furthermore if you think about a problem on your own you will only have one point of view In the example earlier Peters friend introduced a different perspective and by implication a different solution to the problem When a person is gets ill in the West they say he must have a rest He is visited by a few people and visits are socially controlled In the East when a person gets ill his bed is placed Begin to communicate about the problem So if you find it difficult to talk to someone about your problems or negative experiences find a psychologist or a good friend and start to practise talking to himher first Maybe that will give you enough courage to talk to others as well By sharing a problem and feeling understood the impact of a problem is alleviated There is a saying Nature is explained but people are understood There is no need for you to ever explain your behaviour if you feel you have done the best you can We only need to understand each other Take a tranquilliser for stress situations Very often people ask whether or not it may be simpler to take a tranquilliser to alleviate the anxiety or tension There are times when tranquillisers may come in handy on a shortterm basis For example when a loved one dies and you find it difficult to cope with the emotional impact of the event or if you are the bridegroom who has to make a speech at your wedding and you suffer from stage fright tranquillisers could help you cope with a temporary tense situation The bridegroom might however pay for it in another way later on that evening Feeling tense could be compared to the waves of the sea You are not equally tense at all times just as the intensity of the waves differ at different times The tenseness builds up to a peak and then calms down a bit similar to high tide when the sea is much more active The waves come and go The tranquilliser succeeds in cutting out peak emotional experiences so that you do not experience it as so overwhelming The wave of emotion can thus not develop fully under the influence of a tranquilliser and in this way you are protected Learn to ride the wave of emotion But can you carry on taking the medication forever Would it not be better to learn how to surf so that you can ride the waves of emotion when they come For this reason it is important to talk to as many people as possible about your experiences especially to experts If you bottle feelings up you are freezing the emotional wave and the body is kept in a state of readiness like a horse that is ready to race The adrenalin is still pumping and the heart rate is still high to keep you in that state of readiness NEXT ON HEALTH24 X When head injuries make life hard suicide risk goes up 20180828 1100 More Mental
