Employers are doing the best they can to keep their workplaces safe and healthy during the pandemic, and technology can be a critical tool to simplify logistical hurdles and help reach populations in need.

In this week’s top stories, companies are rolling out a variety of new platforms to address concerns that remain top of mind for employers and employees alike. PayChex launched a new platform to help business track the vaccine status of employees. Maintaining a healthy workforce is also the goal for Vitality’s new health span calculator, which gives employees an estimate of their healthy years, and then provides tools to help them change unhealthy behaviors.

Amidst all of the vaccine mandates, payroll service company PayChex is making the return to work as organized and safe as possible for employers.

The platform recently added a functionality to its existing Paychex Flex platform to help businesses track the vaccine status of their employees, according to a press release. Employers can now send notifications to employees requesting that they upload documentation to confirm their vaccination status — immunized employees can upload a digital copy of their vaccination card, while unvaccinated employees can upload ongoing COVID-19 test results.
