Human resources expert cautions approach could create division in the workplace

A Winnipeg business owner is offering staff a $300 cash bonus as incentive to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and thinks other businesses should do the same.
But a partner with a human resources consulting firm says this type of initiative could compromise employees’ privacy, or create division in the workplace.
Ash Modha, president and CEO of Mondetta Clothing, says he thinks the cash bonus offer for getting vaccinated both helps his staff stay healthy and safe, while also helping keep the community safe.
“I think that this is a way for us to show our staff that, you know, it’s something that we can all do our part,” he said.
“This is not about being controversial or religious or political or anything of that nature. This is just to create good health in our teams and make sure they’re healthy and able to get back to work and in an office setting by the fall.”
