The Aids epidemic has become a global crisis as it has a direct and indirect impact on business. Employers are experiencing reduced productivity and declines in profits as a result of employee absenteeism and death. Declining and fluctuating productivity makes it difficult for a company to meet supply demands from customers, and even reduces service levels- which all has an effect on the company’s growth and development. Rising production costs for business not only affect current profits, but also future profits. What this actually means is that bigger companies that usually invest in smaller companies are themselves being affected by HIV/Aids. Their own levels of production are decreasing and they become less likely to invest in smaller businesses. Your company could have substantial costs directly linked to HIV/Aids, such as insurance cover, pension or retirement funds, health and safety provisions, medical assistance, HIV testing and counseling.
