A Message from Our CEO – November 2021

Dear Friends,

I got it wrong. I assumed that employer vaccine mandates would hurt employers—that people would quit their job and join a companies that do not require a vaccine. But new data is showing the opposite. A new Harris poll suggests that most people see vaccine mandates as a perk, not a penalty.

With current labor scarcity, companies don’t have much maneuvering room. This is evident in manufacturing’s surging overtime hours. As one frustrated CEO said, “you’re paying 50% more for less productivity”. Meanwhile, employers are touting increased flexibility when employees really want more autonomy. If there were ever a time for employee surveys, focus groups, and manager training, it is right now.

Train. Your. Managers.
Warren
