The benefits of workplace vaccinations
As you consider whether you should schedule flu vaccinations for your employees at your worksite, consider the costs if you don’t make it easy and convenient for employees to get their flu shots.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends an annual flu vaccine for all people six months and older, with some exceptions. And people with underlying health conditions are at a higher risk of getting the flu and having serious complications.
Here’s a list of benefits for both employers and employees when the workplace is protected against the flu …
For Employers:
- Reduces costs by decreasing time missed from work to get vaccinated.
- Reduces costs by reducing absences due to illness, resulting in improved productivity.
- Vaccination often already covered under employee health plans.
- Improves morale.
For Employees:
- Reduces absences due to sickness and doctor visits.
- Improves health.
- Convenience.
- Improves morale.
