The Times of India recently featured insights on the state of POSH compliance across organisations, drawing attention to a concerning reality: despite the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 being in force for over a decade, many organisations continue to fall short of their legal obligations.
As part of the coverage, Adv. Shivangi Prasad, Founder and Managing Director of The Legal Swan, shared her perspective on the importance of moving beyond checkbox compliance and focusing on creating genuinely safe and inclusive workplaces.
According to Adv. Shivangi Prasad, the challenge is often not the lack of awareness about the law, but the absence of sustained implementation. Constituting an Internal Committee, conducting awareness programmes, and ensuring employees have confidence in the redressal process are all critical components of an effective POSH framework.
The report serves as an important reminder that workplace safety cannot be treated as a one-time compliance exercise. Organisations must continuously invest in awareness, sensitisation, leadership accountability, and robust grievance redressal mechanisms to foster cultures built on dignity, respect, and trust.
At The Legal Swan, we remain committed to supporting organisations in strengthening their POSH compliance frameworks through training, advisory services, Internal Committee capacity building, policy development, and workplace culture initiatives.
We thank The Times of India for highlighting this important conversation and helping bring greater attention to workplace safety and gender-sensitive organisational practices.
