This Good Practice Note is an introduction to the issue of HIV/AIDS in the workplace, and is targeted at the private sector in developing countries. As part of the International Finance Corporation's (IFC) ongoing commitment to sustainable development, the Note seeks to provide companies with practical guidance, and a range of options, based on corporate experiences, for designing, and implementing prevention, and care programs in support of employees. The key is to find the most affordable solution to fit a company's particular needs. With this in mind, studies have been undertaken to explore the costs, and benefits associated with business action on HIV/AIDS. Before embarking on any program, there are three initial steps a company should take: a) define the nature of the problem, and the company's level of risk with respect to HIV/AIDS; b) identify ongoing initiatives, resources and stakeholders in the wider area of operations; and, c) adopt a collaborative approach to devising an HIV/AIDS strategy, based on the building of partnerships, and the integration of key action areas and stakeholder groups.
