Why Bother?

Let's get real. You're running a small business, not a charity. Your obligation to your staff starts the moment they walk in the front door and ends the moment they walk out. If they get sick, that's what sick leave is for. Why should a business owner like yourself be worried about HIV infection in your staff?

I have been involved in small business initiatives for over a decade. The number of obstacles, threats, perceived and potential threats, as well as general rough-and-tumble faced by the small business owner are innumerable.

The threat of HIV to your business is another of these perceived obstacles to make your business financially secure.

It's just the same as a potential threat of a large customer choosing a competitor instead of you. Or a major supplier running short of an essential component. Or a bank calling in your overdraft. All of these affect your business' financial security - and by implication, your financial security.

The good news is that that you've probably got plans in place to deal with all these potential threats.

My question to you is, "Do you have a plan in place to deal with the threat of HIV to your business?"
