Economic
Impact Analyses
The
Development and Implementation of a comprehensive HIV/AIDS Workplace Policy and
Programme is essential for every organization in South Africa.
Each
HIV+ employee can cost the organization up to R335 000.00 in direct costs, not
counting the human costs like the loss of productivity, morale, intellectual capital
and recruitment costs. The return on investment derived from such an intervention
has been projected at (based upon saving one employee from becoming HIV Positive):
| BENEFIT |
SAVING |
| Retirement
Funding | R
200-R 500K per employee | | Medical
Care | R
400-R 800K per employee |
"…Most companies can expect a R3 to R4 return on every R1 spent on
managing HIV/AIDS, which is well above the return that could be realised on most
other investments…" The Star- August 2002
