The PoSH Act 2013: In 2013, India introduced its first comprehensive legislation to address workplace harassment, the PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Act. This law aims to protect employees from sexual harassment, ensuring a safe, secure, and dignified work environment.

The core objective of the PoSH Act is to create a respectful workplace by preventing and appropriately addressing incidents of harassment. It mandates that companies implement a zero-tolerance policy, establish a robust internal policy, and form an Internal Committee (IC) for prohibition, prevention, and redressal of sexual harassment.

Benefits of PoSH Training: Attending PoSH training equips you with the tools to handle and prevent sexual harassment complaints. The training covers key topics such as defining sexual harassment, identifying unacceptable behavior, and understanding the responsibilities of both employers and employees. It also provides an overview of the PoSH Act 2013, the redressal mechanism, and how to maintain a positive work environment.
