Human resources expert weighs in on shifting mask requirements and other COVID changes in the workplace
In recent weeks, mask mandates have lifted around the country. It should have been a moment of joy, but for many employers, it’s caused another wave of pandemic-induced stress.
“Employers are really confused right now,” says Rob Wilson, human resources expert and President of Employco USA, a nationwide employment solutions firm. “On the one hand, you have the CDC telling vaccinated Americans they don’t need to wear masks inside anymore. But on the other hand, you have customers and staff who want everyone to keep masking up and following previous pandemic guidelines. No wonder many employers are struggling with how to proceed.”
Complicating the matter is that many employers don’t know if they can mandate or inquire about employees’ vaccination status.
We receive a number of questions from our clients as we consult them on a variety of HR issues.
In this video, Rob and Jason discuss if employers can ask job applicants if they’ve been vaccinated or had COVID-19. They cover what the EEOC has said, the importance of being consistent with both applicants and employees, if it’s reasonable to ask, and more.

Employment trends expert advises on what to do when workers are hesitant to come back to the office
Last year, more than half of workers said they wanted to continue working from home indefinitely. That number has only grown in the last several months. In a recent Harvard Business Review study, it was revealed that 32% of American workers say they never want to return to the workplace, even after the COVID-19 pandemic finally ends.
“What we are finding is that a lot of people are really resistant to the idea of closing out of Zoom and putting on real pants again,” says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment trends expert. “Some of them say that they are truly still concerned about the virus, but many of them have just found that they highly prefer working from home, and they’re using this opportunity to try and finagle their positions into being fully work-from-home or at least hybrid.”
But is this a good idea from a management perspective?
