SAP SuccessFactors is for a prepared and vaccinated fight against Covid. December of 2019 was the first time when the world learned of the Covid-19 pandemic, and everything that followed was no less than a nightmare for most of us. It is almost like our lives have been at a halt for almost two years, and it almost seemed like things just would never get back to normal again.
However, that was not the case at all times, and the credit for this goes to the efficiency and commitment of the scientific community we have around the world. This was the fastest that we developed any effective vaccine against disease wreaking havoc around the world. So now that we have the vaccine, it was time to bid farewell to work from home and get back to our normal lives with employees working in normal offices.
SAP SuccessFactors to the Rescue
One important thing to consider while ensuring the safety of all employees returning back to work was vaccination against Covid-19. Therefore, SAP SuccessFactors came up with an ingenious solution to verify the vaccination status of all employees in an organization. Therefore, let us check out what this new functionality is all about.
Validating Employee Vaccination Status
As the governments and authorities ease the travel restrictions around the world, vaccination has become an important validation that we all need for traveling. On top of that, authorities have now enabled organizations to verify and track employees’ vaccination status. This can be accomplished in two different ways that include:
- Tangible Vaccination Document: Organizations can ask employees to provide concrete evidence supporting the employee’s vaccination status. These kinds of documents are generally provided to people after they are done with their vaccination.
- Verifying with OR Code and Mobile Applications: These days, authorities have developed numerous mobile applications that enable organizations to verify the employee’s vaccination status. Most authorities are providing their citizens with digital Covid vaccination certificates depicting the vaccination status of employees.
