Will workers be required to get COVID-19 vaccine?
As more people become eligible for a COVID vaccine, employers now have to decide how to bring back employees who have been working remotely.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- As more people become eligible for a COVID vaccine, employers now have to decide how to bring back employees who have been working remotely.

As part of our ongoing series "Ready To Work," ABC7 spoke with Andy Challenger of Challenger, Gray & Christmas. They surveyed 201 human resources executives.

The survey found that only three percent of companies would require getting a vaccine before returning to the office, but 57 would be asking workers to get vaccinated.

How to prepare for a phone job interview

In the age of Zoom calls and Skype, telephone interviews sound a little archaic and might actually create a little anxiety.

The survey also found that 100% of companies are going to ask workers to wear masks.

More than 80% of companies surveyed will be allowing some hybrid work models to allow some remote work to continue.

And people looking for employment can find more resources as part of our Ready To Work series.
