The interest in keeping employees immunised and healthy has always been our priority, which is why our corporate flu shot programs are consistently our major output in the community. As the ‘office’ has been irrevocably changed with the introduction of working from home (WFH) becoming more normalised, there have been adjustments made to the programs on offer that still offer a sense of security and safety for employees, employers, and the community at large.
If there is one thing we have taken from the last two years, it’s that you can never be too prepared – especially when it comes to employees and their health. The notion of flexible corporate flu shot programs has always been present in the community, but never has it been quite so prevalent and considered than now.
Corporate flu shot programs can seem like a headache in terms of organisation and preparation – our focus has always been on cohesion and ease of accessibility to healthcare services that make a difference. The dangers of influenza cannot be completely controlled, but if you are looking at boosting morale for workers both in the office and at home, then do we have something to talk about.
First and foremost, the various programs we have on offer can be facilitated completely within your current office environment and is what you’ve come to expect from typical corporate flu shot programs. The process remains more or less the same post-COVID where our immunisation team, combined with our streamlined scheduling software, will liaise with an employer to find a suitable day for both parties.
The set-up is simple, quick, and efficient – employees only need to take a few minutes out of their day to receive the jab and head straight back to work with no issue. We’ve been doing it a long time and have perfected the process to where you won’t even know we were there at all.
As we mentioned already, corporate flu shot programs have adjusted over time, suiting offices that are fractured across the city/state, to the now popularised WFH sector of the population who can still be covered with flexible corporate flu shots programs.
How? Simple – companies like us have already adopted the vouchers model as part of standard corporate flu shot programs. This essentially allows a business to give those working from home the opportunity to claim their flu jab at their most convenient chemist partner.
We understand there are many rumours bouncing around the internet these days relating to the safety and efficacy of general inoculations. We respect everyone’s right to an opinion and further state that our influenza injection administration processes have been tested and trialled comprehensively to ensure that efficacy and safety standards are maintained.
If you’re organising corporate flu shot programs, feel assured that it is not a compulsory exercise and employees, and employers are free to opt-out if they so choose.
We will enter 2022 with an optimistic drive of bringing Australians back to a healthy, happy mindset – we cover all sized businesses with no issue or caveats and if you are still on the fence, we always offer our expertise to answer queries or offer a free quote.
