How communicators can combat vaccine skepticism

As the vaccine rollout continues, every forward-thinking employer is concerned about one thing:

“What do I do about employees who are hesitant about getting vaccinated?”

This is a powder keg of a subject, because you have business concerns and safety conflicting with people’s right to privacy and their right to make their own health decisions. This piece is not about that debate.  Emotions run high, but there are basic business truths that employers will be faced with.

It may even be a point of difference in the marketplace at some point. Getting people vaccinated will, for many, be vital to moving their business forward.
