UNION JUNCTION MANAGEMENT COMBATTING HIV/AIDS WITH REALITY

On 5 October, the Union Junction management team attended a Reality HIV/AIDS training session. Johan Burger, operations manager, says, “In order for us to make a difference as senior management we need to set the example and that is why I requested my entire senior management team to attend the training together even though it would be the second time that many of them would do so. The education that has been offered to all employees regarding HIV/AIDS is invaluable and will eventually be the driving force behind preventing new infections.”
