Creating a safe and respectful workplace is a top priority for organizations across India. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, mandates that all companies with 10 or more employees must have a POSH policy in place and conduct regular training programs for employees. We understand the importance of fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity, and we're committed to helping organizations achieve this goal through our comprehensive POSH training programs.
POSH training is designed to educate employees on the prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace, and to ensure that organizations are compliant with the POSH Act.
