Employee Awareness Program on PoSH for Workplace Sensitization
Master Legal Compliance, Understand Redressal Mechanisms, and Build a Safe, Inclusive Work Environment for All Employees
Full-Day Classroom Seminar
Course Overview
In today’s corporate landscape, it is legally mandatory to conduct POSH training. Failing to do so is a severe compliance failure; the organization can attract heavy penalties like a fine of INR 50000 for first time offence and cancellation of business license for repeated offence if the law is not followed. In addition, just having a law does not help. Many a times, women question whether a particular behavior can be counted as sexual harassment even after they felt uncomfortable or violated.
Organizing POSH training is a step towards protecting the rights of female employees and ensuring equality at the workplace. It is important for employees to know what is acceptable in the workplace, what constitutes to sexual harassment and what does not. This critical workplace sensitization program ensures that training must be given to all employees regardless of their gender or designation.
