One in four businesses plan to make Covid vaccinations mandatory

40% said they would be willing to dismiss an employee who refused to be vaccinated "without a reasonable excuse"

Almost half of the executives surveyed said that, all things being equal, they would hire a candidate who has been vaccinated over one who has not. 

A new survey suggests thousands of employees may be required to get the Covid-19 vaccination if they wish to return to the workplace as one in four organisations plan to mandate vaccination for their staff.

That’s according to new research by HRLocker, who surveyed 750 business leaders across the UK and Ireland.
