PoSH Compliance: Ensuring a Safe Workplace
PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) compliance is essential for any organization with more than 10 employees to prevent and address sexual harassment at the workplace. It mandates the formation of an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) to handle complaints and raise awareness effectively.
The PoSH Act of 2013 was enacted to create a safe working environment for women in India, protecting them from sexual harassment. Strict compliance helps organizations foster a harassment-free workplace, allowing women to work without fear and ensuring legal protection.
