Corporate POSH Act Training & Compliance Workshops

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.
