Employer Vaccination Strategies: How do you stay compliant?

COVID-19 vaccinations are now available to everyone, except for young children. With that, more employers are devising strategies to encourage and perhaps even mandate that their employees and family members get vaccinated. While there are certainly options for employers, those same employers need to know the compliance issues and workplace chaos this may present. 

In this session, we will discuss:

• Mandatory compliance vs. Optional Compliance
• Incentives or Surcharges to your health plan premiums
• Using the Carrot or the Stick approach
• Compliance and Employee Relations Considerations

Join us on September 1 at 2:00 PM for another informative Horton session, where we’ll shed some light on this “hot potato” topic and give you real guidance on how to move forward.
