With fines of up to $700,000 per incident, healthcare companies that don't enforce employee vaccine mandates risk serious consequences. Beginning in December, non-compliant workers will have to quit or be terminated, possibly leaving your contact center short staffed during a notoriously difficult time of year for hiring.
Everise will ensure that when your patients call, someone is there to answer.
In June of 2021, OSHA issued a temporary emergency rule declaring Covid-19 exposure a workplace hazard and requiring healthcare workers be provided protection, through the use of PPE, barriers, etc., or risk being fined.
In September of 2021, the definition of a dangerous workplace was expanded to include unvaccinated employees, and the fines for violation increased tenfold.
Enforcement of this new rule is likely to begin in December of 2021.
The rules apply to workplaces with over 100 employees in the same location, meaning remote workers are exempted.

Everise specializes in call center support for the healthcare industry, but because we are not a healthcare company and our workforce is mostly home-based, we are unaffected by the emergency rule. |
|
Everise uses innovative recruiting and training techniques to rapidly ramp up and support healthcare providers, and we can do the same for you, should the vaccine rule enforcement result in your contact center losing agents. |
|
Our remote workforce is backed up by technology that is fully HIPAA, SOC-2, HITRUST and PCI compliant. |

The best part: in addition to solving a thorny problem, Everise will save you money. |
