PoSH: From Awareness To Action
Sexual harassment encompasses any unwelcome behavior—be it physical, verbal, or non-verbal—that infringes on an individual’s right to equality and dignity. Recognized as a punishable offense, it violates the core principles of respect and safety in the workplace. Beyond mere legal compliance, addressing sexual harassment is about cultivating an environment rooted in mutual respect and security.
Our Commitment to a Safe Workplace
A workplace free from discrimination and sexual harassment is not an aspirational goal but a fundamental right and essential obligation. Following the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, also known as the PoSH Act, our mission is to assist employers in nurturing a setting where such behaviors are unequivocally unacceptable.
