HR surveys reveal a high level of confusion amongst employers around their employee’s COVID-19 vaccination status and how to protect the health and safety of workers.
According to Mark Shaw, CEO of Tento Applied Sciences said a recent Gartner HR survey revealed that nearly half large global organisations will not track the vaccination status of their employees, with less than eight percent requiring staff to show proof of vaccination. While a nationwide survey in Ireland this month showed that well over half of Irish employers want the right to ask their staff if they have received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Shaw said: “One of the biggest challenges organisations face now, and in the future, is ensuring the safety of their staff and customers during the present pandemic and those to come. Most organisations plan to reopen with social distancing and mask-wearing protocols in place, but it is clear to us that they will also need, as part of their overall strategy, a secure, confidential platform for managing the exchange of verified digital health documents between employers, staff, and customers.
