Are you a business owner who wants to encourage your employees to get vaccinated?
You now have a handy set of tools to use, thanks to the release of the Australian Government’s COVID-19 Vaccination Business Kit, part of their Arm Yourself campaign.
Healthy North Coast CEO Julie Sturgess says local business should check out the kits.
‘The free resources offer lots of different ways to share information with employees, from posters for the staff room, to templates for internal staff communications, staff newsletter updates, and pre-written email messages.
‘You can add your organisation or business name to the materials and help educate your staff on the importance of getting their COVID-19 vaccination,’ said Ms Sturgess.
The Australian Government Department of Health has developed the Arm Yourself campaign to encourage Australians to get vaccinated and protect themselves and the wider community from COVID-19.
There are information sheets, digital assets, infographics and pre-written letter templates such as a personal message from the CEO, and email templates such as advising what your business is doing to support staff to get vaccinated.
Australian organisations and businesses can even offer cash or other rewards to people who have been fully vaccinated under the Government’s national COVID-19 vaccination program.
The business kit shares what other organisations have done to incentivise vaccination by offering cash prizes, food and shopping vouchers, luxury escapes and travel credits.
