POSH Act, 2013 · Section 19(c)

POSH Training for Employees Services

The POSH Act, 2013, mandates every organisation to conduct regular POSH training for employees. POSH awareness sessions are not only legally required by the law, but also critical to build a safe and healthy workplace for your team members. POSH awareness enables your employees to work in a dignified way.

Why Is POSH Training for Employees Important?

Under Section 19(c) of the POSH Act, every employer must organise POSH awareness sessions and workshops at regular intervals. Non-compliance can attract penalties and, in serious cases, withdrawal of the organisation’s business licence.

In-person and online POSH training for employees creates a legally aware and behaviourally equipped workforce to maintain a harassment-free environment.

Proactive mandatory POSH training in India ensures that your people are sensitised before an incident occurs, rather than scrambling for a response after one does.

Our POSH Training for Employees Services
