Vaccination in the Workplace

Community Waikato Managers Forum on Vaccinations

Recently Community Waikato hosted a Managers Forum where the conversation was around Covid Vaccinations and what you need to know as an employer.  We had Jadin (lawyer from Community Law) and Hanlie (Director in HR and Employment Relations Waikato University) join us to provide information to help guide our thinking around the conversations we have with our teams and the policies/agreements we put in place. You can listen to a zoom recording of this conversation
