Our Mission
At POSH at Work, our mission is to help Organizations in Building Blocks of Workplace Safety.
Everyday we strive to work with our clients to help them create safe, inclusive, and respectful workplaces where every individual can thrive. Through expert guidance, compliance solutions, and training programs, we empower businesses to meet their legal obligations under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act) while fostering a positive work culture.
We are committed to supporting both organizations and individuals involved in harassment complaints, ensuring fair and just outcomes through impartial processes and legal support.
History of POSH at Work
POSH at Work was founded in 2015 by Shivangi Prasad with the vision of creating a safer and more inclusive work environment for individuals across industries in India. As a corporate lawyer, she observed a growing need for specialised services and legal guidance on the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013.
Over the years, POSH at Work has expanded its range of services to not only help organizations comply with the POSH Act but also to empower them to create an organizational culture that actively prevents sexual harassment. From initially providing legal consultations to forming Internal Committees (ICs), we now offer comprehensive services, including training, audits, policy drafting, and mental health support for individuals involved in harassment cases.
