Key Factors

HIV has taken a serious toll on the workplace with impact on absenteeism increased benefit payouts, disrupted teamwork and reduced productivity and profits. Yet, HIV should be regarded as a chronic manageable disease unlike hypertension, diabetes and asthma, This is not the case, in part due to misinformation about the disease, misunderstanding about the simplicity of its prevention, diagnosis and treatment and the widespread stigma associated with the illness. Healthucation uses a unique and fresh approach to workplace-based HIV engagement programs based on a number of key factors:

  • We deal with people, each of whom needs to be shown respect and given the opportunity to consider their personal circumstances.

  • Knowledge of HIV is an essential element of prevention, treatment and engagement to leading a fulfilling life; Being proactive and involved is far greater than being passive; Immediate, appropriate, understandable and accessible information is always better.

  • People relate to their own personal journeys as a powerful tool to determine future actions.

  • It is appropriate and responsible for an employer to ensure that their employees are adequately trained; this includes essential life-skills training.

  • In the case of HIV, to be effective, training has to alter behavior and change the habits formed over lifetimes. Creating active engagement through understanding and tools to create a new path to success!!
