Half of senior management prefers vaccinated workforce: Survey

Fifty percent of senior managers prefer to require all team members to get the vaccine before coming back to the office, whereas only 26% of individual contributors and middle managers feel this way, according to results released Thursday by New York-based human resources technology firm Hibob Inc.

The online survey of 1,000 workers also found that 58% said they expect their company not to take any stance on people getting vaccinated.  

In general, more men felt strongly that companies should require all employees to get vaccinated, according to Hibob.

The survey also highlighted telecommuting as a preferred prevention tactic for keeping workers safe: only 10% of employees surveyed want to return to the office full time.

Meanwhile, 73% of managers said two or three days in the office would be the preferred hybrid work model, while 54% of individual contributors preferred either a flexible 2-3 days a week or an “at-will” hybrid model for returning to the office.
