This document discusses issues faced by employees at BPOs such as long night shifts, stressful customers, and unhealthy lifestyles that can lead to behaviors like alcohol and drug abuse. To address this, BPOs considered random alcohol and HIV testing. However, there were concerns about how the HIV test results could be misused, such as discrimination or dismissal of infected employees, or social stigma if results were made public. There were also worries that excessive policing could hurt employee morale and increase attrition.
