SAFER Spectrum of Employer Vaccine Approaches
18©2021 National Safety Council
Vaccine Strategy: Questions to Answer• Where do you fall on the spectrum of response?
• Communicate -> Encourage -> Incentivize -> Mandate?
• What are your organization’s requirements? How will you consider:• Employment status• Varied worker risk exposure levels (facility, field, office)• Exceptions & exemptions• Legal and medical concerns
• What is the timing of your plan? When will facilities trigger change management?
• What go-forward risk mitigations will continue to be in place?
• How would logistics/disruptions change your plan?
• What policies need to be updated or monitored (travel, visitor, flexible work)?
• Will your organization be actively involved in vaccine distribution?
Work Performance Related
Risk Profile The individual risk profile of a given worker, including job function, potential medical or other vulnerabilities, and exposure to other
workers and the public
Capability to Work Effectively RemotelyThe ability of a worker or group of workers to
maintain necessary productivity remotely (or not), dependent on job function,
customer needs, and company culture
Preferences & Work/Life BalanceThe preferences of a worker in a post-
pandemic world, potentially influenced by personality type, stress, familial (school,
caregiving) and/or other work/life balance considerations
Work Environment Related
Effectiveness of "New" Work EnvironmentThe capacity of a "reopened" work environment to be effective given a
potential transition to hybrid operations with a remote/in-person split, including
technological and policy-driven (e.g. split shift) changes
Continuation of Existing MitigationsThe need for a "reopened" work environment
to continue existing mitigations, such as physical distancing, masks, sanitation,
barriers, limitations on capacity, or other protocols that may affect productivity
Workforce Vaccination ProgressThe percentage of uptake of the vaccine (to
the extent it can be legally tracked) within the worker population that may limit or enable
action on part of the employer (e.g. discontinuation of existing mitigations)
CommunityRelated
Local Vaccination ProgressThe percentage of uptake of the vaccine
(based on public health information) within the local community from which the
workforce is drawn, used as a proxy for public-facing risk
Local Transmission ProgressThe local transmission rate/test positivity
(based on public health information) within the local community from which the
workforce is drawn, used as a proxy for public-facing risk
Federal/State/Local Legal EnvironmentLocal, state, or federal ordinances, executive
actions, or regulations that may introduce challenges to or accelerate employers’
ability to "reopen" in an effective and strategic fashion
