Should companies be recording their employees’ Covid vaccination status and test results?

Should companies be recording their employees’ Covid vaccination status and test results?

The government recently made it mandatory for all employees in the care sector to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to protect the vulnerable people they look after, and other frontline healthcare workers look set to follow. 

While the no jab, no job movement is gaining pace, many events and travel companies around the UK are also insisting on proof of vaccination in social and leisure settings, making the requirement to ‘show your Covid passport’ more commonplace. 

So, how could recording employees’ Covid vaccination status and test results across different workplaces and sectors help support the ongoing risk management of Covid-19? Join People Management Insight and our panel of expert speakers, in partnership with Elmo, as they discuss:

  • Why is it important to record employees’ Covid-19 vaccination status and test results? What are the benefits to employers and employees?
  • How should HR collect, store and manage employees’ Covid-19 data (how can software help with risk management?)
  • How can Covid-specific privacy policies help to reassure staff how their data is being handled? And as society reopens, will people simply ‘get used’ to showing their Covid passport? 
  • How should you manage staff who refuse to provide evidence of their vaccination status?
  • How can employers encourage staff to get vaccinated? And should employers in certain sectors be enforcing mandatory vaccines? 
  • How could Covid status affect recruitment? Eg, can you ask about someone’s vaccine status in a job application or interview?
