POSH Act Compliance

Ensuring compliance with India’s Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act is crucial for creating a safe and respectful workplace environment. At GLC HR Compliance, we provide comprehensive services to help your organization meet all legal requirements under this critical legislation.

The POSH Act mandates that all organizations with ten or more employees implement measures to prevent, prohibit, and redress sexual harassment at the workplace. Our team of experts at GLC HR Compliance guides you through every step of the compliance process, ensuring your organization adheres to the law and fosters a positive work culture.

Policy Creation and Implementation: We assist in drafting and implementing a robust POSH policy tailored to your organization’s specific needs. This policy outlines the definition of sexual harassment, the process for lodging complaints, and the steps for redressal. Our team ensures that the policy is communicated effectively to all employees, promoting awareness and understanding.

Employee Training and Sensitization: Training is a vital component of POSH compliance. We conduct regular training sessions and workshops for employees at all levels, focusing on recognizing, preventing, and addressing sexual harassment. These sessions are designed to educate employees about their rights and responsibilities under the POSH Act and to foster a culture of respect and inclusion.

Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) Setup: The POSH Act requires the formation of an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) to handle complaints of sexual harassment. We assist in the formation and training of the ICC, ensuring it comprises members who are well-versed in handling sensitive issues with confidentiality and impartiality. We provide ongoing support to the ICC, helping them conduct fair and thorough investigations.

Regular Audits and Reporting: Compliance does not end with policy implementation. We conduct regular audits to ensure ongoing adherence to POSH guidelines. Our audits review the effectiveness of the policies and procedures, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that all incidents are properly documented and addressed. We also assist in preparing annual reports as required by law, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Ongoing Support and Consultation: Our commitment to your organization’s POSH compliance is continuous. We offer ongoing support and consultation to address any emerging issues and to keep your policies and training up-to-date with any changes in legislation.
