For reference I work in corporate retail Human resources.
The company had dialogue about staffing concerns across the board.
My boss is a firm believer if you pay proper and treat people like an actual human being, you prevent turn over.
I asked how many people actually fail drug test. For 2021 it was about 150 applicants. And surprise marijuana was the #1 reason we declined an applicant.
My boss said who cares if someone lights up during their off time. She said we don't decline people who get drunk during off hours.
So we no longer drug test. Unless you report to work in an unfit condition.
Next was background checks. Before, everything was an auto decline for any convictions/felony. Now its 100% case by case and we only go back 3 years. Felons are now considered depending on the specifics of the crime. Sexual assault/sexual predators are the only exceptions and are still decline but now get human reviewed for errors.
There are some of us in corporate who are trying to change what we can, even if its small.
