From asking about potential symptoms to vaccination status, the share of employers collecting health information from their workforces has grown. The trend is drawing concerns from some management-side attorneys amid the reopening of physical workspaces.

Even among respondents who did not have a vaccination policy in place, 54% said their organizations were tracking vaccination status.
