Aspire announces 100% COVID vaccine compliance
Aspire Indiana Health, a nonprofit provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Central Indiana, has reached 100% staff compliance with COVID vaccination requirements.
As a Medicare/Medicaid qualified provider, Aspire is required to have all its personnel, medical or otherwise, compliant with federal vaccine requirements for the coronavirus. Even before the federal rules came down (and were later upheld by the Supreme Court), the company reached a 70% vaccination threshold by spring of 2021.
Now 100% of Aspire employees are certified as fully vaccinated, with a small number receiving exemptions allowed under federal rules.
Aspire undertook a multi-pronged approach to achieve total staff vaccination, combining education, recognition and incentives initiatives.
This included regular communications on the facts and benefits of getting the COVID vaccine; highlighting goals and legitimate concerns raised; and providing multiple cash incentives for qualifying employees who received the vaccine by a certain date, plus additional payments for meeting company-wide goals.
