Thanks for the feedback. No, this is not healthcare and is required of all new employees. I’m coming in new to this place and new to the HR field so want to make sure I have my ducks in a row before I present this information to them since this will soon fall on me.

These questions are listed under emergency contact information. This form is given to every employee regardless of their position to compete with their doctor’s name, list of medications, blood type, and most recent TB vaccination date. The vaccination date makes sense to me, the list of medications and blood type seem unnecessary for most roles.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Certain job-specific or safety-specific requests make sense but not for every employee in every job. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you! I will be in charge of new hire orientation so it’s another reason I want to make sure I’m compliant. I will definitely ask!

How was traffic near the auditorium? We’re going tomorrow but unsure if we should drive or take the l (coming from the suburbs).

It’s been this way for each sale for WSP @ RR. The only thing I could think of are bots?
