Conducting an Effective POSH Training
Conducting an Effective POSH Training
In today’s world, where both men and
women have equal opportunities in every area, it thus has been seen that this
scenarios slightly changes in the field of a work environment where the females
majorly suffer or feel suppressed with the male power around them, feeling the
vibes and actions of sexual harassment cases, where every year over the years,
this scenario has been on the rise. There have been many such famous case
studies in the past such as the ‘Vishakha Case’ occurred in 1997, where the
Supreme Court therefore stated the ‘Vishakha Guidelines’, which ordered to make
every organisation, whether they are public or in the private sector to develop
and establish a strong mechanism for redressing of sexual harassments cases
which takes place in the organisation level.
Thus, the ‘Sexual Harassment of Women at
Workplace Act was then passed in 2019, which particularly had to provide
systematic protection against the sexual harassment of women at the workplace
and also all the complaints connected to it. Thus, since then the POSH ICC Training
came on board, where POSH stood was Prevention of Sexual Harassment, which was
a compulsory training in India since 2013. The POSH
Training for Employees was absolutely mandatory for those
organizations, which had more than 10 employees working under them, thus for
all the employees and the employers the sessions were a compulsion to attend.
Thus, the initial aim of the POSH
Training India is mainly to educate their employees about the details of
the law governing the sexual harassment and also preventing such situation in
the mere future. The training process therefore serves a clear idea about the
type of behavior which can be categorized under sexual harassment and what all
detailed measures can be taken against such activity. Therefore, an effective
POSH training should always consist of the following details, which are as
follows:
● A detailed
knowledge about the culture of the company should always be described by the
individuals.
● Understanding the
sheer diversity and the going on strategic plans of the company should be laid
down.
● The understanding
of the challenges the company usually faces regarding such behavior of any
employee should be a sincere concern.
● Receiving
valuable insights about the employee demographics should also be on the
measure.
● A sheer clarity
on the workflow, business, vendors and suppliers of the company should be given
to each of the employees working.
● A detailed
knowledge about the policies of the company related to sexual harassment should
be provided.
● An in-depth
introduction to the Internal Complaints Committee members should be provided as
well.
● Being absolutely
aware of such a structure of the Internal Complaints Committee should always be
explained.
● Also, always
understand the message from the management forwarded to you in an in-depth
manner towards the end.
