With the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, hope for an end to the pandemic is on the horizon. But the road ahead won't be without its challenges.

In a recent Paychex survey, more than half of small and midsized business owners (10-500 employees) say that the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine is causing them to start, or start planning, their return to the workplace. And, while 79% of them plan to motivate employees to get vaccinated,* many of them are still wondering how to determine the role their company should play in employee COVID-19 vaccinations, especially given the legal complexities around vaccination policies.

Download Managing COVID-19 Vaccinations and the Return to Work to learn:

  • Key considerations for developing your vaccination policy, including how to encourage employee vaccination;
  • How businesses leaders like you are managing COVID-19 vaccinations within their own workplaces;
  • Important health and safety considerations for establishing a safe and productive return to work; and more.

 

* Paychex surveyed 300 principals of U.S. companies with 2 to 500 employees. The survey was fielded January 27-February 2, 2021.
