As we have moved to virtual vendor briefings, I have increasingly been excerpting short video segments (with permission from vendors), as part of my Analyst Cam series.
Barbry McGann, Executive Director, Office of the HRO at Workday returns to present on the new Vaccine Management solution. It expands on their Return to Workplace offerings. She had previously presented in this series on their VIBE offering (which is acronym for Value Inclusion, Belonging, and Equity)
The Vaccine Management solution addresses multiple goals - as a way to educate employees on a growing variety of COVID vaccines (mRNA, vector, protein subunit etc), to guide them where and how to get vaccinated, to allow them to confidentially report the vaccination details. In turn, corporations can identify employees who should be prioritized as vaccine inventories become more widely available in the health ecosystem. They can use the data to make smarter decisions on which offices and sites to safely reopen and plan on workforce availability and related workspace and resource (like PPE) needs. There are plenty of dashboards and compliance analytics.
Barbry says 60% of companies are encouraging employees to get vaccinated (though not necessarily mandate it). No wonder the initial interest in this solution has been huge. They had over 1,900 registrations (a record for Workday) for a recent webinar on the solution.
