Why Every Organization Needs a Strong posh policy
                     Why Every 
Organization 
Needs a 
Strong 
POSH Policy
Introduction
• POSH stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment. It's a set of 
guidelines and measures designed to prevent and address sexual 
harassment in the workplace. The goal is to create a safe and respectful 
environment for everyone.
Why POSH Policies Matter
• Legal Obligation: Organizations with 10+ employees must legally implement a 
POSH policy.
• Moral Duty: It’s not just about following laws — it’s about creating a safe, 
inclusive environment.
• Business Impact: A safe workplace boosts employee morale, collaboration, and 
productivity — helping businesses thrive.
• A strong POSH policy reflects an organization’s commitment to its people.
Key Components of an 
Effective POSH Policy
• ·  Training: Conduct regular, interactive sessions explaining what sexual 
harassment is — with real-life examples and case studies.
• ·  Employee Rights: Ensure everyone knows how to report harassment 
— who to approach, the process, and their legal protections.
• ·  Open Dialogue: Create a culture where speaking up is encouraged — 
reinforcing that harassment will not be tolerated.
Implementation
• Putting the Policy into Action:
• Complaint Mechanisms: Offer multiple reporting channels — anonymous options, 
HR contact points, and direct ICC access.
• Internal Complaints Committee (ICC): Set up an ICC with trained members, 
ensuring impartiality, sensitivity, and confidentiality during investigations.
• Policy Communication: The POSH policy should be easily available — on company 
portals, in handbooks, and highlighted during onboarding — with regular updates.
