Good morning,
If you were keen on getting your employees vaccinated before, the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raises the stakes.
On Monday, the CDC announced long-awaited changes to its guidelines for people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, allowing them to gather indoors with other vaccinated individuals. The guidelines also note that vaccinated people can be indoors with unvaccinated people from a single household, provided those individuals are at low risk for contracting a severe case of Covid-19. Vaccinated people can also refrain from quarantining and testing following a known exposure if asymptomatic, says the CDC.
For businesses, the guidelines give employers a stronger reason to ensure their workforces get vaccinated, as it may mean a quicker return to a degree of normalcy. That could prompt more employers to mandate vaccinations, says Jill Chapman, senior performance consultant for Insperity, a provider of human resources and business performance solutions. Chapman adds that you do need to consider vaccine availability and hesitancy: If even a single employee doesn’t want to be vaccinated, you’ll need to make accommodations.
The change has other broad implications for the workforce, too--and presents a new series of questions for employers looking to return to the office soon. Read our story to learn what it means for your business, and how to move forward. |
