1. COURSE OBJECTIVES

This course has been developed to meet the needs of business, parastatal, NGOs and Government organisations who desire to respond with compassion and understanding to HIV and AIDS challenges encountered in the workplace.  The aim of the course is to provide managers with a deeper knowledge of HIV and AIDS, as well as the skills to manage the impacts of this dreaded disease.  Participants will look at the personal impacts on employees as well as on organizational areas such as finance, policy and procedures, business climate, roles and responsibilities, human resource adjustments and programmes.  Participants will gain insight into the care continuum of HIV positive people, prevention strategies, the rights of the employee and employer, workplace HIV/AIDS critical issues, as well as best practice in HIV/AIDS management.  The training will be based on adult educational principles and is highly interactive. We use workbooks that include case studies, simulations, group activities and individual questionnaires.  The course content covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for effective HIV/AIDS workplace management
