Library Journal Review

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.

Booklist Review

Addressed to both public and private sector managers, including union officers, who are responsible for dealing with employee health and safety concerns, this guidebook profits from all that has already been written about AIDS. Its obligatory introductions to the malady's history and characteristics are among the best, most concise yet written. Moreover, they have their own unique excellences, such as the discussion of exactly what that medical-science catchphrase ``there is no evidence'' means and implies. Subsequent chapters consider how to defuse the fears managers themselves have of AIDS and policies about it, how to make a step-by-step organizational response to AIDS, and how to design and implement workplace AIDS education. Concluding chapters offer a primer on prevention and a discussion of the future of corporate responsibility for employee health. Throughout, the authors-a lawyer and a psychologist, both business consultants-are concerned that organizational responses to AIDS respect the dignity of all employees, comply with the law, and minimize costs.
