Even as COVID cases surge, getting employees back in the office and students back in classrooms is a priority for many, after a year of hybrid learning and virtual collaboration. But not all agree on the safest way to make that happen. <\/p>\n

Among parents heading into another school year, 61% support requiring masks in the classroom. Conversely, nearly a quarter (24%) of parents would consider pulling a child out of school if they are required to wear one. (Back to School Study results can be found here<\/a><\/u>)<\/p>\n

As companies contemplate new work policies, vaccine rules could ultimately be the deciding factor on whether some workers decide to stay at a company or go, with almost a quarter of employees (23%) saying they would strongly consider leaving their place of work if their employers mandated vaccines. (Workplace study results can be found here<\/a><\/u>) <\/p>\n

“If these decisions were cut and dried, you would see everyone adopting the same policies,” said Karla Fisher<\/span>, chief industry advisor for education, Qualtrics. “It’s not easy for any educator or employer to balance such extreme competing priorities. Generally, people have the same goal: to keep people safe and productive. The better data and insights we have into people’s experiences, the closer we can get to policies that serve everyone.” <\/p>\n
