Employees would rather lose their job than get a COVID-19 vaccine

Published 3 Min Read

HR teams across the country are facing a new set of challenges around vaccine mandates, as a growing number of employees refuse to get innoculated.

Many employers say they plan to encourage employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine; however, a significant number of workers say they don’t plan to get vaccinated, according to new research from the Society for Human Resource Management. Approximately 28% of employees say they won’t get vaccinated, while the majority of employees — 60% — say they will probably or definitely get the vaccine.
