The health and well-being of employees are the general responsibilities of employers. In that vein, employees who are not vaccinated pose a risk to other employees and your organization at large.
Just one case of COVID-19 infection in the workplace can cause a lot of anxiety and stress as other employees may develop the fear that they may contract the virus from the infected person. Therefore, the vaccine is a safe option.
But you may have questions such as:
In what ways does getting the Covid-19 vaccine affect an employer’s health and safety duties?
Is the vaccine even safe for employees?
What other options are there?
With the vaccines rolling out, will workplaces go back to normal?
To get an answer to all of these questions, we’ll be hosting a live webinar on the 9th of October 2021 talking about the covid vaccine and how it affects the workplace.
