Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) at Workplace
Overview
The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) at Workplace Act, 2013, mandates every organisation in India to establish clear policies, preventive mechanisms, processes, and service standards to ensure a safe and dignified working environment. Non-compliance with the Act can lead to legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of employee trust.
Sexual harassment at the workplace affects not only individuals but also organisational culture. It can lead to emotional distress, reduced productivity, low morale, and an unhealthy work environment. Proactive prevention, awareness, and effective redressal systems are essential for building respectful workplaces.
