Corporate POSH Act Training & Compliance Workshops
I help organizations move beyond standard compliance to build a genuinely safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace through interactive, practical POSH training sessions.
This is a brief overview of the importance of POSH Act compliance in the workplace. My training sessions go beyond legal mandates, focusing on creating a culture of respect and safety through practical documentation, reporting, and preventive measures.
An introduction to my training program on preventing sexual harassment at the workplace. These sessions are designed to equip employees and management with the knowledge and tools needed to foster a safe and respectful environment for everyone.
This slide introduces the full title of the POSH Act, 2013. My workshops begin by explaining the foundational purpose of this law, which is to prevent, prohibit, and provide redressal for incidents of sexual harassment at the workplace.
Understanding the 'why' is crucial. This infographic explains the origins of the POSH Act, tracing it back to the landmark Vishakha Guidelines, and clarifies its key objective: to uphold a woman's right to equality, dignity, and a safe working environment.
This slide outlines the purpose, enactment date, and broad applicability of the POSH Act. I emphasize that the law applies to all workplaces in India with over 10 employees, covering both formal and informal sectors.
Here, I break down the core definitions under the POSH Act, clarifying what constitutes 'Sexual Harassment', who is an 'Aggrieved Woman', and the broad scope of what is considered a 'Workplace', including remote work settings.
This slide provides a clear, legal definition of what constitutes sexual harassment at the workplace. My training ensures every employee understands these specific actions to prevent ambiguity and promote awareness.
A detailed breakdown of Section 2(n) of the POSH Act, which defines sexual harassment. The training covers physical contact, demands for sexual favors, sexually colored remarks, showing pornography, and other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.
This infographic provides concrete examples of behaviors that constitute sexual harassment, such as repeated unwelcome advances or leveraging professional help for romantic favors. Using such scenarios helps employees recognize and address inappropriate conduct.
More examples of sexual harassment are detailed here, including rude comments on physical appearance, intimidating gazes, and sharing jokes with sexual innuendos. These specifics help create a clear understanding of unacceptable behavior.
About Corporate Compliance: POSH Act Training
Most companies treat POSH compliance as a once-a-year paper-filing exercise to satisfy the registrar. My sessions shift that mindset by focusing on the 'human' element: teaching managers and the Internal Committee exactly how to handle a real complaint, maintain strict confidentiality, and prevent issues before they escalate.
Beyond the Paperwork
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (POSH) Act, 2013, is often misunderstood as a simple administrative requirement. In reality, it is a complex legal framework designed to protect dignity and equality. My workshops are not lectures; they are structured to ensure that everyone from the leadership team to new recruits understands their rights and responsibilities.
What My Training Covers
I tailor each session based on the industry and company size, ensuring the information is directly relevant to your daily operations. Key areas we address include:
- Internal Committee (IC) Training: I guide your IC members through the legal mandate, the complaint lifecycle, and the necessary procedures for fair, impartial inquiries.
- Complaint Redressal: We break down the flow of a complaint, from initial filing to final investigation and documentation.
- Definitions & Boundaries: We clearly define what constitutes sexual harassment, including remote work settings, to remove ambiguity.
- Preventive Measures: We establish clear protocols for reporting, anti-retaliation, and maintaining the confidentiality of all parties involved.
Practical Methodology
I utilize interactive formats rather than standard presentations. This includes role-playing scenarios, case studies, and open floor sessions where teams can ask real-world questions without hesitation. My goal is to ensure that by the end of the session, your team is confident in identifying inappropriate conduct and handling it in compliance with the Act.
We provide a digital kit including draft complaint forms and FAQ documents, and issue a collective completion certificate to assist with your organization's annual compliance filing. Whether you prefer an in-person workshop at your office or a virtual session, I ensure the content is actionable and legally sound.
