Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH)
The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) law, formally known as the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, was enacted to ensure a safe and secure working environment for women. Our comprehensive PoSH services are designed to help organizations comply with these regulations efficiently.
Understanding the PoSH Act
The PoSH Act is a legislative measure aimed at preventing sexual harassment at workplaces across India. It applies to all employers, be they public or private organizations, and demands adherence to specific guidelines to prevent, prohibit, and redress sexual harassment.
Importance of Compliance
Compliance with the PoSH Act not only helps in fulfilling the legal requirements but also promotes a healthier, more inclusive workplace culture. Organizations that enforce the PoSH rules are often seen as more professional and supportive, enhancing their reputation and attracting talent.
