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.
