Ep. 64 Vaccine Mandates and the Safe Return to Work

Add bookmark

On today’s show, David is joined by Dan Kaplan, partner at Foley and Lardner and co-chair of the firm’s national labor and employment practice. They discuss some of the most common questions Kaplan gets around the idea of a safe return to work, from OSHA worries to mandatory vaccines and evolving mask policies.

Following announcements from the CDC these last few weeks about easing of travel restrictions, mask mandates and social distancing, there’s been a lot of confusion about what this might mean for the workforce. Is this the end of the big shift to remote work? Are companies going back into offices? When is it safe to start bringing people back? Are they mentally prepared for that and how close are we to a vaccination rate that would see things return to normal? 

There's a lot of questions for HR to answer and we explore a few of those here. For full coverage of how Coronavirus has impacted HR, click here!
