Amazon.com's On-Site Vaccination Events and Their Motivational Elements
Amazon.com Inc. was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos and deals with digital streaming, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. The company's headquarters are in Washington, the United States of America (USA). Amazon.com has been in the frontline sensitizing its employees on the benefits of adhering to COVID-19 protocols to reduce the spread of the deadly virus that has killed millions of people worldwide. In March 2021, Amazon.com was among the first companies to launch an event emphasizing the importance of the coronavirus vaccine. In addition, the corporation partnered with public health agencies and the local and state governments to launch on-site vaccination events at its buildings to facilitate the accessibility of coronavirus vaccines to its frontline workers. Moreover, the paper focuses on the elements of motivational theories portrayed by Amazon.com's on-site vaccination events.
The introduction of Amazon.com's on-site vaccination events shows that the company cares for its employees, customers, and partners. Before launching the program, Amazon.com was among the first companies to establish coronavirus testing programs at the onset of the pandemic. The corporation wanted to ensure that its workers are safeguarded and had access to free and regular testing to minimize the spread of the disease within the firm's premises and community. As a result, Amazon.com expanded its voluntary COVID-19 testing program and managed to have over 800 testing sites globally (Amazon.com, 2021).

Kansas, Nevada, and Missouri are the three primary areas where the company initiated its vaccination programs.

In that light, the company offered about $80 for employees who got vaccinated off-site. Furthermore, Amazon.com has spent more than $2.5 billion in special incentives and bonuses for its employees throughout the pandemic. Additionally, $11.5 billion was invested in curbing the spread of COVID-19 through the implementation of appropriate prevention measures (Amazon.com, 2021). Consequently, Amazon.com's on-site vaccination events have been vital for its employees' and communities' wellbeing amidst coronavirus.
Amazon.com's on-site vaccination events safeguard its employees from COVID-19 and ease the burden on community clinics. Moreover, the firm created employment opportunities for individuals. For instance, the Washington on-site vaccination event hired about 3,000 health specialists responsible for vaccinating warehouse employees in the surrounding area (Schlosser, 2021).
