HIV/AIDS POLICY
HIV/AIDS has profound social and economic effects which impact severely on enterprises, workers and their families. In addition to the immediate impact of illness and death of employees at the workplace, enterprises may be affected indirectly by HIV/AIDS through diverse impacts on the overall business environment. In countries where the pandemic is advanced, studies have found that HIV/AIDS has a major internal and external impact on enterprises. Internally, it is manifested in increased labour costs due to absenteeism, bereavement, leave, medical, labour turnover, reduced productivity, and breakdown in worker morale, illness, training and mentoring of replacement staff. The changes in external market can be seen in decrease in demand, declining customer base and changes in product preferences to mention a few. Further more, the fundamental rights of workers infected by the AIDS virus or affected by HIV/AIDS is compromised with respect to the pervasive discrimination and stigmatization that such workers face.
