Vaccines | 70% of HRDs say jabs will become compulsory in their firm

A massive 70% of HR leaders have stated that they’re now requiring workers to have had both coronavirus vaccinations before they can return to in-person working, according to a new report published by Indeed Flex.

The volume of jobs posting that require workers to prove their vaccination status skyrocketed by 116% between August and September, according to the new findings.

The care homes sector, which from November will be legally required to ensure all staff and volunteers are fully vaccinated against COVID, is among the industries posting the most jobs requiring jabs. Other roles highly likely to require vaccination are to be found in customer service, cleaning and hospitality.
