PRO HR Cafe | A new challenge for HR – the COVID-19 vaccine

The registration for this meeting is closed.



February 4 | 10: 00-11: 00 | Free online meeting


The vaccination against COVID-19 has started. What does it mean for employers? At the moment it is known that vaccinations will be voluntary. Therefore, the requirement to vaccinate by the employer is treated with great caution and should depend on the assessment of occupational risks that occur at a given workplace.

During the second episode of the PRO HR Cafe, Bartłomiej Raczkowski and Łukasz Kuczkowski will talk about:

  • Is it possible to require vaccinations?
  • Can any negative consequences be drawn towards those refusing vaccinations?
  • Can vaccinated employees be rewarded?
  • What obligations does the employer have regarding the workers' exposure to being infected?
  • Can the employer move unvaccinated employees to jobs that are less exposed to the virus?

This event is held in Polish, in the form of a free webinar. The link will be sent to participants the day before.
