Public health professionals are leery of shaming people into following their guidance, preferring to appeal to a sense of personal responsibility and self-preservation. However, businesses are under no such self-imposed restraint. They are beginning to lose patience with those who continue to ignore all the evidence about COVID-19 and refuse to get vaccinated, and signs are emerging that corporate leaders are poised to deploy the shame card.
Elected officials drop the COVID-19 ball
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the consequences of science denial into stark relief. Even as the new Delta strain of the virus attacks those who failed to get vaccinated, some elected officials have continued to downplay the threat, and large swaths of the public are still following online rumors instead of following the advice of doctors.

Who knows when business travel will ever resume at pre-pandemic levels, especially considering what’s going on now with the Delta variant.

For example, companies now want us to believe that they are focused on retooling how their companies attract, hire and retain talent, especially a year after calls for racial equality erupted across the U.S.

It’s not on many corporations’ ESG bingo cards, but “encouraging citizens to be considerate of others” certainly comes to mind when considering the news of the past few weeks. Ongoing resistance to vaccinations, the threat of the COVID delta variant and what that all means for the fragile economic recovery - and quite frankly, our social and mental health recovery - should be top of mind for companies and everyday citizens alike. World Mask Week and more awareness surrounding this event offer organizations one way to do good for society.
Leading the charge for publicizing World Mask Week includes the Pandemic Action Network, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), the African Union, 3M and more than 50 global and regional partner organizations. The campaign seeks to unmask a universal truth: Wearing face masks in public, along with handwashing and social distancing, are still among the best ways

Among the daily headlines is talk about the labor shortage that is bedeviling many businesses across the U.S. Shares on social media that discuss the struggles to find workers, or the mismatch between jobs available and the work many people are seeking are often followed by snark about “lazy people looking for handouts” or “free government money.” The truth about this volatile job market and perceived labor shortage, however, is far more complex.
Employees across the U.S. had already become fed up with living a life with irregular work schedules that came with terrible pay. As the pandemic exacted a toll on essential workers starting well over a year ago, many also received the message that the types of work available to them would be vastly different come 2021 and 2022. Add the harassment far too many had to endure during the worst stages of the COVID-19 crisis, and it is no wonder that more of them searched for a new line of work – or sought online train
