7-Point Guide for Sexual Harassment Prevention at Workplace

by Ajay Roy eLearnPOSH.com | POSH consultant
Introduction

Almost every other day, we see in the news, about a company or an influential figure getting caught in an allegation of sexual harassment. This adversely impacts the reputation of the organization.  Sexual harassment at workplace has become far too common, even though many do not like to accept it.

Every organization has the duty to reshape this reality by creating and maintaining a harassment-free workplace. While it is a legal obligation to maintain a safe workplace by complying to prevention of sexual harassment laws (POSH Laws) in the country, it is also the correct thing to do. If the organization does not keep a check on harassment at workplace, they will end up paying a high price for it.

Here are the 7 points:

1.  Have a POSH Policy in Place
2.  Create a Safe Culture that Promotes Open Communication
3.  Provide Effective Sexual Harassment Prevention Training to All
4.  Do Not Wait for A Complaint
5.  Have Informal Communication About Sexual Harassment
6.  Inform Employees about the Complaining Mechanism
7.  Respect Complainants, Inquire Quickly
