Vanguard joins a slew of other companies like Google and Facebook in encouraging their employees to get vaccinated. Vanguard is offering a $1000 incentive to all their 16,500 U.S. employees who must show proof of vaccination by October 1st. The company said the incentive is to recognize their employees who took time to “protect themselves, each other, and our communities by getting vaccinated.” Other companies like Kroger, McDonald's, and Bolthouse Farms are offering one-time bonus payments and paid time off to incentivize vaccination.
