Vaccine requirement, testing, both, other...it's the employer's choice now.

​Now that the US Supreme Court has decided that Federal vaccine requirements for companies with 100+ employees cannot move forward, many employers are left wondering whether to keep pressing forward, pause or pursue their own workplace vaccination strategy. Employers are trying to balance the desire to keep employees safe in the workplace with providing employees the freedom of personal choice when it comes to being vaccinated.

Lockton's latest pulse survey on Employer COVID-19 Vaccine Strategies is designed to capture employer responses to this pressing issue.  Key findings are 
​

• 18% of employers plan to require vaccination
• 46% will require weekly surveillance testing for unvaccinated employees
• 36% are undecided between mandating the vaccine and offering the testing alternative
• 53% of employers will encourage vaccination (but with no incentive to do so)
• 77% of employers are or plan to track vaccination verification internally (as opposed to using a third party)
