If you have staff the chances are you are losing money because of HIV
– even if none of your staff are HIV+

If you are running a business, you probably have staff. If your business is located anywhere in southern Africa, even if you dont know it you are dealing with problems related to HIV and AIDS.  It is a hidden, on-going cost to your business.

What you might not have realised is how much HIV is actually costing your business, through your staff. Every cent that HIV costs, it is taking from your business bottom line.
 
HIV is stealing from your business in the following ways:

• more sick days
• more family responsibility days
• less productivity

The costs that can be measured might be 5% of your total payroll or could be as much as 15%.   The indirect costs and the systemic costs increase this percentage dramatically.  Unless you do something about it this cost is a continual drain on your business finance.

Beyond the Balance Sheet helps you do something about it.
