Flu-jab season can help teams or harm trust. We show how to offer voluntary, privacy-first vouchers that cut absence without rota penalties, proof demands, or “us and them” culture.
• why winter absence spikes disrupt rotas
• how a voluntary scheme reduces risk
• legal and data basics in plain English
• minimal data design and deletion dates
• inclusive comms for allergy, pregnancy, and faith
• manager training to stop shaming and shift nudges
• practical fixes for common policy missteps
• Q&A on mandates, proof, rotas, and measurement
• voucher funding options and paid time to attend
If you would like to purchase some vouchers at a discounted rate, then please click here and find out more
