This includes event spaces, indoor spaces, fitness facilities, gambling establishments, theatres, music venues, and anywhere that serves food or drink. In many of these places, people need to remove their mask to eat, drink, or exercise. Because people are gathering without masks and with less social distancing, both employees and guests have a significantly higher risk of contracting COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">Vaccine passports are one of the new requirements introduced to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect both employees and guests. It\u2019s likely that vaccine passports will be part of our day-to-day lives, at least for the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #42337e; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">New challenges for frontline workers<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">Frontline workers have skillfully adapted to changing public health measures throughout the pandemic. With the introduction of vaccine passports, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">many frontline workers now have the responsibility to check proof of vaccination<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">In most regions, by-law enforcement officers are ensuring businesses comply with the vaccine passport rules. Patrons and businesses can face significant fines for non-compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">As rules and regulations continue to change, some people are becoming more and more frustrated. Unfortunately, this is being taken out on frontline workers. There have been increased incidents of harassment, abuse, and even assault.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #42337e; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Protecting your employees <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">All Canadian employers are obligated by law to keep their workplace safe for everyone working there. Many businesses put health and safety measures in place early on to protect their employees against COVID-19. It is equally essential that actions are taken to protect employees from harassment.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">So how can you keep your employees safe and your business operations running smoothly?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\">We have put together steps you can take right now to help your business effectively implement vaccine passports while protecting your employees. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1732;\"><span style=\"color: #006fd6;\"><a style=\"color: #006fd6;\" href=\"https:\/\/offers.hrdownloads.com\/guide-to-navigating-vaccine-passports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download our FREE Guide to Navigating Vaccine Passports<\/a><\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">While Citation Canada, formerly HRdownloads, uses reasonable efforts to maintain this site\/blog and its Services in an up-to-date fashion, it does not warrant the completeness, timeliness or accuracy of any information contained on this site\/blog or any of its Services, whether in English or French, and may make changes thereto at any time in its sole discretion without notice.
