POSH stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment at the Workplace. The POSH Act, 2013 was enacted to protect employees from sexual harassment and to ensure safe working environments across all sectors in India.
POSH compliance is mandatory for:
• All organizations with 10 or more employees
• Corporates, startups, factories, hospitals, schools, NGOs
Across organized and unorganized sectors, as applicable
Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to:
• Unwelcome physical contact or advances
• Sexual remarks, jokes, or gestures
• Showing pornography
• Any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature
Non-compliance can result in:
• Monetary penalties
• Cancellation of licenses or registrations
• Legal action and reputational damage
Effective POSH implementation helps organizations:
• Meet statutory obligations
• Protect employees and leadership
• Build trust and accountability
• Prevent escalation of complaints
POSH is not just a legal requirement — it is about dignity, safety, and fairness. Our approach balances legal compliance with empathy, ensuring processes are robust, fair, and humane for all parties involved.
