Немецкая сеть супермаркетов Aldieste - новейшая компания в продовольственном секторе, которая будет стимулировать своих сотрудников в США к вакцинации от COVID-19, пишет Reuters. Компания объявила, что предложит оплачиваемый эквивалент четырех часов работы тем, кто получит вакцину. Розничный торговец имеет более 2000 магазинов в 37 штатах США и заявил, что покроет расходы, связанные с введением вакцины и открытием клиник вакцинации на его складах и в офисах. На прошлой неделе другая сеть магазинов - Dollar General Corp - объявила, что будет предлагать те же льготы своим непосредственным сотрудникам, а сеть распределения продуктов питания Instacart заявила, что заплатит по 25 долларов за более чем полмиллиона сотрудников, с которыми она сотрудничает, если они решат взять отпуск для вакцинации.
