Kroger, which ranks as one of the biggest employers in the U.S. with almost 500,000 workers, also announced that some of its staff with no vaccine will be slapped with a monthly health insurance surcharge this year.
“We know that HR and talent leaders in other organizations are closely following these actions and studying the strategies their peers are using elsewhere as well to address concerns about unvaccinated workers,” says Carol Morrison, senior research analyst at the Institute for Corporate Productivity.
