POSH Awareness &
Workplace Training

What is POSH?

The POSH Act was enacted in India in 2013 to prevent and address sexual harassment at the workplace, ensuring that every individual, regardless of gender, can work in a safe, supportive, and dignified environment.

Despite legal frameworks, many employees remain unaware of what constitutes harassment or how to report it. This is where POSH sensitization training plays a crucial role.

Key Objectives

• Educate employees about types of sexual harassment.
• Clarify the role and procedures of the Internal Committee (IC).
• Encourage gender sensitivity and respectful behavior.
• Promote a zero-tolerance culture toward workplace misconduct.
• Empower victims and bystanders to report without fear.

Program Highlights

Our sensitization session was conducted by a certified POSH trainer and legal consultant with deep expertise in workplace law and behavioral ethics.

Topics Covered

• Understanding what constitutes sexual harassment (verbal, physical, visual, and online).
• Detailed overview of the POSH Act, 2013 and its implications.
• Role, rights, and responsibilities of the Internal Committee (IC).

Real-Life Scenarios

Unlike conventional compliance training, this session used real-life case studies, role-plays, and group discussions to make the content practical and relatable. Employees shared personal insights and engaged in meaningful dialogue about professional boundaries.
