Congratulations to College of Lake County and Endeavor Foundation for being the first PeopleSoft customers to earn Feature Innovator badges for deploying Health & Safety Employee Self Service to track covid vaccination status and testing in PeopleSoft.  This important topic continues to evolve as organizations look to adhere to Federal mandates and their own health and safety protocols for employees returning to work.  Our development team prioritized the delivery of the vaccination tracking feature in mid-September as a patch and in Image 40 which was released last month.
