A Handbook on Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace – PoSH

The Sexual Harassment of Women At Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, And Redressal) Act, 2013, is an important step towards ensuring not only the safety and mobility of the workforce but also the growth of businesses and, consequently, economies. Apart from simply meeting compliance requirements, it is necessary for workplaces to implement the provisions of the Act diligently to ensure that its objective may be achieved. Furthermore, it is necessary for workplaces to keep evolving their approach towards the prevention of sexual harassment to ensure that they are not implementing an outdated or narrow-minded form of justice. Furthermore, while implementing and using new technologies and platforms to improve growth and performance, organisations must be mindful to ensure that the dangers that may come with them are well taken care of so that growth and profit don’t come at the cost of the employees’ sense of security. Employers must also put in efforts to periodically hold workshops and training programmes to create foundational changes and thus move towards eradicating sexual harassment from its very roots.

This ebook is an effort to explain the various remedies in the Act and address some issues related to women safety at workplace.
