Sanlam realises the potential impact that HIV/Aids has on our industry. This is why we’ve developed a HIV/Aids policy, to ensure we create a working environment that attracts, trains and retains skilled people.
We strive to ensure a working environment where employees living with HIV/Aids are protected from unfair discrimination and stigmatisation and all employees have access to training, information and counselling services relating to HIV/Aids.
The objectives of our HIV/Aids policy are to:
- prevent unfair discrimination and prejudice against employees living with HIV;
- minimise fear and panic among employees;
- ensure stability and productivity in the workplace;
- encourage disclosure by HIV-positive employees without fear of victimisation or prejudice;
- enable line management to respond appropriately in the event of an HIV/Aids-related case;
- minimise Sanlam’s liability to wrongful conduct by our employees in relation to HIV/Aids; and
- empower employees to prevent the spread of HIV/Aids by training and education.
We’ve initiated a variety of initiatives to realise the objectives of the policy.
