The CHIETA 2012 HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme This programme included sectoral HIV/AIDS research with over 1000 respondents (in the form of a knowledge, attitudes and practices or KAP survey). More than 1000 learners were trained through the programme from 50 participating companies.
2011 The Global Fund Round 6: HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme As leaders in the field of HIV/AIDS management Redpeg has been contracted to manage large, multi-sectoral projects. One such project was the implementation of the Redpeg HIV/AIDS Workplace Project for over 250 organisations across various sectors. This project, which was included in the Global Fund Round 6, aimed to: Project outcomes include: - 258 workplaces underwent various HIV/AIDS intervention activities directly related to the needs
- Increased human resource capacity to deal with HIV/AIDS in the workplace, and HIV/AIDS interventions being planned for the workplaces
- An understanding of the current knowledge, attitudes and practices of the employees within a particular workplace within a particular sector
- An understanding of the economic effects HIV/AIDs may have on each workplace
- HIV/AIDS policies in place that align with the Code of Good Practice and South African legislation
- HIV/AIDS strategies in place to act as a plan of action that each workplace could follow
The project contributed towards building knowledge in the area of prevention, developing capacity to identify areas in which prevention interventions can occur and be implemented and maintained within organisations, and build capacity to support treatment, understand why referrals for treatment are necessary and where these could be located (on-site or off-site, depending on the capacity of the institutions). However, primarily, the programme built capacity to offer support for people living with HIV or those who are affected by HIV.

The MerSETA HIV/AIDS Project In the rationale for this project, the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Education and Training Authority (MerSETA) stated that it “recognises the impact that HIV and AIDS in having in the sector and the need to address this”; and that there is “... a need to improve the responses of SMEs in the manufacturing, engineering and related services sectors”. The MerSETA HIV/AIDS Project that was developed and implemented by Redpeg for the MerSETA and it was designed to target 100 SMEs in the sector. Redpeg was responsible for supporting 63 of these companies. In addition, MerSETA Company Liaison Officers (CLOs) were trained on the HIV/AIDS coordinator training programme. These CLOs would then be able to support the companies in their areas on HIV/AIDS workplace development.

2006 Sasol SHARP Training Redpeg worked with Sasol to develop customised, unit standards based training materials for their Sasol HIV/AIDS Response Programme (SHARP) and trained coordinators, peer educators and managers. While a number of Sasol employees and managers had attended training provided during the SHARP and CHIETA programmes, it was identified that there was a need to build on previous training by providing interventions customised to suit that Sasol environment and using training materials aligned to SAQA unit standards. For this purpose, a pre-training assessment tool was developed to assess training needs. The Sasol curriculum included modules on Sasol’s workplace policy, CSI programmes in the community as well as outputs from Sasol HIV-related research (impact studies and KAP surveys).

2005 The CHIETA National HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme This project saw the implementation of workplace programmes for 150 organisations and trade unions in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The purpose of the project was to establish the potential impact of HIV/AIDS within the sector and to advise on strategies to mitigate this impact. This project, funded by the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA), entailed an elaborate skills transfer strategy in which we consulted with stakeholder organisations while concurrently facilitating a skills transfer to at least one employee (normally the HR manager) per workplace. The project culminated in an HIV/AIDS workplace model for sector and the development of guidelines for the management of the impact of HIV/AIDS across the chemicals sector; it also saw the qualification of participants against all existing HIV related unit standards (part qualifications). It was the first sector-wide initiative in the country, and received an innovation award from the Mail & Guardian in 2005: ex CHIETA CEO Raymond Patel received the special commendation for leadership on behalf of Redpeg and CHIETA for the most innovative HIV/AIDS policy/programme at the Mail & Guardian's Investing in Life 2005 ceremony.
