Survey Reveals that Majority of Employers Will Require Vaccination

New data shows that a majority of U.S. employers will require employees to get inoculated against COVID-19. With the threat of the omicron variant looming, employers are split on whether vaccine mandates will help with recruiting or lead to mass resignations. That’s a key takeaway from a new Willis Towers Watson survey released last week, which gained valuable feedback from 543 U.S. employers. On top of vaccine mandates, employers are planning to require testing and masks to protect employees who are returning to the workplace. Another key survey finding included that half of respondents (50%) have pandemic restrictions in place for business travel.
