Reportedly, American Express Company (AXP) is requiring that its U.S employees working in the office need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 beginning Nov. 18, as per an internal memo sent by Chief Executive Officer Stephen Squeri. However, wearing masks or other facial coverings will be optional in spaces marked only for company use. The mandate will apply to contractors, visitors to any of AmEx’s U.S. offices, and employees who participate in in-person events of the company.

“We also expect to introduce vaccine requirements in other countries where we are permitted by law and as the situation warrants,” stated Squeri.

AmEx is planning to bring its full workforce back to the office on Jan. 24 next year, will not introduce mandatory COVID-19 testing programs with the vaccination requirement in place. Also, unvaccinated U.S. employees and those without any proof of vaccination will be allowed to ask for a virtual work arrangement, if they can work effectively.
