Woolies, Coles and Aldi set their own vax rules 'cos the Government hasn't

Big businesses have been left to lay down their own laws to make sure customers and staff are safe post-lockdown.

What's the key learning?

  • Woolworths, Coles and Aldi are introducing their own vaccine mandates
  • The corporate world is having to set the vaccine agenda because the Government hasn't set a policy
  • It's been tough for big businesses to lay down their own laws to make sure customers and staff are safe. But, it'll be even tougher for small businesses.

Background: Woolworths, Coles and Aldi are Australia's three biggest supermarkets. Combined, they have around 250,000 staff...and they serve pretty much the entire population.

What happened: Now, as we become free again, all three supermarkets are introducing their own vaccine mandates.

What else: The run down is:

  • Woolies staff will need to be vaxxed by January or March 31 (depending where they live).
  • Coles employees will need to be vaccinated by November 26 or December 17 (depending where they live).
  • Aldi's staff will need the vaccine too, but no official date has been set.

So what's the key learning?

💡The corporate world is having to set the vaccine agenda because the Government hasn't given a clear guide or set a policy.

💡We know that coming out of lockdown was reliant on people getting vaccinated, but what people can do once they're out of lockdown is largely up to the businesses they work for (or the cafés they visit!).

💡Big businesses have been left to lay down their own laws to make sure customers and staff are safe. But if it's tough for the big end of town, then it'll be tougher for small businesses.
