It can be hard for employers to figure out a vaccine plan that is a good fit for their organization
With the vaccine campaign in Canada gaining speed, questions abound about what employers can realistically expect from their employees.
Employers may be concerned with:
- If they can ask employees to get the vaccine;
- Whether they can make proof of vaccination a return to work occupational requirement;
- What they should do if an employee has a medical exemption from getting a vaccine; and
- What privacy rights employees have regarding their vaccination status.
It can be hard for employers to navigate all the information out there and figure out a vaccine plan that is a good fit for their organization.
Making COVID-19 vaccination a part of your workplace health or wellness program is beneficial to both employers and employees. Indeed, establishing clear policies and practices can help improve workplace health and safety, strengthen communication and engage employees, and promote confidence in getting vaccinated.
