Protecting your employees' productivity this winter through vaccination
When employers prioritise flu vaccination, they protect their people and their performance. Vaccinated employees are less likely to get sick and they generally recover faster if they do. They're also better equipped to keep operations running smoothly during flu season.
Flu season doesn't just affect individuals, but entire organisations. When your employees get sick, your business feels it through increased absenteeism, operational disruption and rising healthcare related costs.
By encouraging employees to get the annual flu vaccine, you can play a proactive role in protecting your workforce, maintaining business continuity and supporting a healthier, more resilient organisation.
Through Flexicare, your employees have cover for one flu vaccination every year from a network pharmacy.

Vaccination is a shared responsibility
While it's up to employees to get vaccinated, employers play a critical role by encouraging and enabling access to healthcare. Giving your employees information and supportive benefits helps them to make proactive health choices.
Supporting flu vaccination is a simple action with meaningful returns for your workforce and your organisation.
Make it easier for your employees to access day to day private healthcare and preventive care like flu vaccinations. You can find out more on the Flexicare website.
