COVID 19 Health Survey

The Health Survey provides a simple tool to help ensure that shifts are staffed with healthy employees, reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection amongst their workforce and customers. Basic health information from employees is recorded and summarised to simple statuses, which helps managers to assess if they are safe to carry out their shifts or not.

The Health Survey will display once a day when you log in to your HotSchedules account. Upon consenting, you will be taken through a series of basic health questions.

Managers will be able to view, analyze, and react to submitted health information from a new homepage widget.

Managers will not see the specific answers given in the Survey, only the overriding Health Status, which is then used to determine if an employee is considered/not considered safe to work. The app is designed to be used alongside existing absence/sickness policies, which still need to be followed.

For more information on the Health Survey, take a look at the following articles:

• Health Survey User Guide
• Health Survey Manager Guide

In future releases, the survey will be managed from within HotSchedules and at that time, the option to use the survey will be enabled in all sites during a phased roll-out. Stay tuned for a future Release with more information!

As of today, this feature will be opt-in. To access this feature before the roll-out, please contact your Customer Success Manager, or submit a request to Customer Care.
