Watami, a major restaurant company, has decided to actively request all domestic employees to be vaccinated against the new coronavirus.
This response, which requires all employees to receive vaccinations based on the will of the applicant, is likely to be controversial in the future as a move toward resuming corporate activities.
Watami urged all approximately 1,500 domestic employees to be actively vaccinated against the new coronavirus, and if they did not wish to undergo regular PCR tests, etc., they were negative. We have decided on a policy to have it proved.
In addition, some stores will introduce a mechanism to clearly indicate employees who have completed vaccination or have been confirmed to be negative with marks so that customers can understand them, and will expand to all stores in the group in the future. That is.
Regarding this policy, the company says that it is a measure to give customers peace of mind by promoting vaccination of employees.
Vaccination is regarded as an "obligation to make efforts" by the people under the revised Immunization Law, and it is carried out based on the will of the applicant, and those who have not been vaccinated suffer disadvantages such as pressure and discrimination in the workplace. Consideration as a society is required so as not to receive it.
Under these circumstances, this policy, which states that the company requires all employees to be vaccinated and clearly states that they have been vaccinated, is likely to be controversial in the future as a move toward resuming corporate activities in the restaurant industry, which continues to suffer.
