Managing AIDS in the Workplace

Library Journal

Should companies establish specific policies on AIDS? How should managers deal with their own and subordinates' fears? What is the best way to implement personnel decisions and educational programs? The authors, consultants for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, treat these and other questions in this accessible volume. Arguing that AIDS-related procedures should be appropriate to the organizational culture, they give examples of human resource programs at corporations such as Apple and Levi Strauss. This is good for business collections, especially as a supplement to William Banta's AIDS in the Workplace ( LJ 2/1/88), which emphasizes in greater detail practical business problems (e.g., lawsuits, insurance) surrounding AIDS.
