- Forty percent of companies surveyed in a new report require all employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
- Employees will be encouraged but not required to get a jab by 32% of companies.
- Mental health concerns and burn-out have risen up the agenda since the onset of the pandemic.
Almost nine in every 10 companies will require or encourage their employees to get a COVID-19 vaccination or face consequences, according to a new report.
All employees are required to be vaccinated by 40% of companies surveyed in a report from Arizona State University (ASU), the World Economic Forum and the Rockefeller Foundation. Employees will be encouraged but not required by 32% and 16% will require some, but not all, employees to have the jab.
While vaccination programmes are well underway in many of the world’s wealthiest countries, other regions lag far behind, with India and Latin America in the crosshairs. The ASU report assessed responses from 24 industry sectors and 1,339 facilities at 1,168 companies. Most came from companies in the US and UK, which are among the most advanced in terms of vaccination plans.
People who choose not to comply with their company’s policies are likely to face consequences, including having their work responsibilities changed, disciplinary action or being excluded from the physical work environment, the data showed.
Companies’ “responses indicate that vaccination is perceived as significantly important for keeping the workplace and their employees safe,” the authors of the report, Nathaniel L Wade and Mara G Aspinall from Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions, wrote.
Nearly 60% plan to incentivize employees to be vaccinated, 84% would allow vaccinations to be administered to employees at their facility and 60% will require employees to demonstrate proof of vaccination.
Future workplace
Vaccination will play a key role in what the future of work looks like.
Employees are facing a ‘double-disruption’ scenario, according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report, as automation and the COVID-19 pandemic redefine work.
“In addition to the current disruption from the pandemic-induced lockdowns and economic contraction, technological adoption by companies will transform tasks, jobs and skills by 2025,” the report says. “By 2025, the time spent on current tasks at work by humans and machines will be equal.”
The ASU report shows companies are still dealing with the fall-out from the pandemic.
Companies said 57% of their employees are still remote and are likely to remain so for much of the year. But the report indicated most employers want people to come together to work, at least some of the time. More than two-thirds of employers believe that employees should be in the office at least 20 hours per week, citing their top reason as social connections among colleagues, the report said.
Mental health was also a key feature of the report, with 50% of employers saying they’ve seen an uptick in the use of resources relating to this area.
Employee mental health is now a top priority for more than 75% of those surveyed, the report showed. Even so, engagement and morale had increased.
“The bottom line for us is that so many are working so hard to keep it all together – to balance work, family, friends and even some fun,” the report authors wrote. “For the most part, it has worked, but we are not sure how much longer that balancing act can last.”
It is hard to see how this can be not be interpreted as anything other than medical discrimination. The very idea that an individual has no right to refuse a medical intervention on the grounds that it has not been fully tested, or that evidence exists of serious side effects in the hundreds of thousands from all the vaccine brands, is clearly illegal. There will be a queue of lawyers lining up to sue companies which introduce these measures. I predict it will never happen: it is just too dystopian.
This desire by a claimed 40% of businesses will be for new employees. I can’t begin to imagine the tsunami of litigations. Then we’ll have a massive stiffiling of the jobs market. Those who don’t want the jab and that is a big number, simply won’t leave their cunnent employer unless they can get employment that required no jab. As I’ve said many times before, this is particularly poignant in medical and care professions where there is a knowledge based resistance to vaccinations.
I think much of this is a nudge agenda. Many companies simply haven’t thought through the implications of making sweeping declarations.
@ ACTIVISOR
be shure the lawyers will be blackmailed to
follow the orders of B´nai B´rit, sanhedrin
and freemasonmfia . no escape, globalists
have everything prepared .
Where I live in Cheshire most take the jab when pressured. The few holding out are increasingly rare.People who formerly said no are now taking it and rationalizing their surrender.
In my opinion(admittedly limited in examples) I think most people haven’t the factual information to defend themselves even though such info is freely available.So…….
the fact is most people seem too lazy to find out and engage workmates et al and thereby mount significant opposition.
Mental laziness seems the big killer in these days. Finding stuff out?Oh that’s way too much effort,trust the experts etc.

Sounds like the vaccinators are getting hysterical. The mass awakening is overtaking their plans hehe
If your employer insists that you take the jab against your will, you simply tell them they must sign a form accepting that any injury suffered by you from the jab is their responsibility. It becomes a work related injury and is completely their fault. You must draw up a form stating this and make sure your bosses at the highest level sign it and have it signed by at least one witness. Don’t be fobbed off, make certain they sign. They will probably drop the whole thing.
As everyone knows, well, here anyway, the vaccine states it does NOT cure covid nor stop the spread of it. Therefore it isn’t a vaccine.
If people are really so stupid as to take the jab, when this information is freely available and obviously unable to try to understand WHY an employer would demand you take it, then quite frankly, they deserve what’s coming to them.
As I’ve said many times, we are living with a pandemic, a pandemic of stupidity.
Carl Jones above stated it is a nudge agenda. I tend to agree. Here’s why. I have seen the Canadian version of the so called “informed consent” form. It has nothing to do with providing in-depth information if you do not ask informed, intelligent questions and I think most people do not ask, for filling out and signing that form comes as a surprise. Also, those willing to get the jab are uninformed, therefore, unable to ask intelligent questions. My impression of that form is that the person willing to get the jab, asks, if not begs, for it and takes full responsibility for side effects including their death. There is no way they can force you to sign it. The only purpose it serves is to nudge you until you give up and sign it and take the shot.
@White Elephant
You rightly state that there’s a pandemic of stupidity given that the majority of the White Westerners en masse are rolling up their sleeves and giddily taking the vaccines.
Yet the Black Africans you depise and dehumanise with a passion are smart enough to refuse the Big Pharma poisons. So much for your White Supremacy.
As long as Whitey is dumb enough to be Guinea Pigs for Big Pharma, don’t call them superior to the Black African who better understand and enact self preservation by resisting Big Pharma’s poisons.
Stevie57: With all due respect, a regular sheeple, sick from jab or with the poison ready to strike, they will never get the experienced legal counsel to win in court. The companies lawyers will simply say they were following regime advice based on the best medical advice given to the regime. A sheeple has almost zero chance of winning, & don’t forget, while you’re ill, this will take years and years to resolve.
If you are one a a large group of employees who refuse to have the jab, you’ll have more clout, but if you are in a small/medium business and you are only one, or two, your only route to to refuse, get sacked and then go for constructive dismissal. Even then, I don’t rate your chances
Where the regime is really worried and why they’ve not enforced vaccinations, in the NHS, because so many won’t have the needle, the service would collapse.
There is another route. If you’re been working from home, just tell your employer that if it was good enough for x number of months, I’ll just carryon working from home.
