Due to evolving laws regarding substances and drug testing in general, our organization is considering moving from a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy to one where employees will have the ability to return-to-duty after certain violations (e.g. positive test result) as long as they comply with specific conditions to maintain employment (i.e. SAP evaluation and regular testing). What is your organization's posture on discipline regarding drugs and alcohol? For those who have taken a "second-chance" approach, what pros/cons have resulted? Particularly interested to hear from those in safety sensitive industries.

Mid 2022 we launched our new behaviors but, in my opinion, too modest and low key. I do want to embed our behaviors in our HR processes but am struggling how to get started. I don't want to just put them in a process but also to touch people's mind and heart on these behaviors and why they are important for our company culture.
