Noble Now is a monthly informational outreach devoted to reducing organizational exposure to risk by creating safe workplaces. As you read through this inaugural edition, please keep in mind that all of Noble's business units work in conjunction with each other to provide our clients with "full circle protection."
Every day there are examples noting businesses are not immune to the escalating problems with substance abuse and violence endemic to our society (violence is directly attributable to substance abuse). The Noble Group provides decades of experience in mitigating this avoidable risk for your organization through efficiently and effectively managing your drug testing program, providing background checks, post-hire monitoring, active assailant response and situational awareness training, de-escalation training, threat assessment, and critical incident program management. We sincerely care about the safety of your employees and each month we will highlight articles that validate why our services are essential as well as provide insight (three decades in law enforcement) on ways to protect your employees.
