Build POSH Awareness – in the New Normal

Creating the POSH awareness policy

Creating an awareness policy is only the first step. The POSH Act 2013 requires employers to create awareness about the Organizational Policy. This was performed through posters in conspicuous places, Annual Training, and/or Workshop.

Posters to Digital Campaigns

Chapter VI, Section 19(b) of the Act requires employers to:

“display at any conspicuous place in the workplace, the penal consequences of sexual harassments;”

This was achieved with Posters and Standees. With the majority of the employees working from home, organizations may have to look at the following options:

Email campaigns to employees with relevant POSH awareness messages, Internal Committee points of contact, policy updates, and changes.

Update the organizational intranet home page / sign-in splash page with similar or relevant messages about POSH awareness. It is recommended that the Emails or Splash pages are also provided in English and Other regional languages.

Keep pictures and screenshots of these emails and Splash pages with messages related to POSH awareness for the IC Annual Report.

Training or Workshop to eLearning or Webinar

Webinar: Delivered by an SME over a Video conferencing Tool using a presentation, and interactive Q&A.

On-Demand eLearning: Curated pre-recorded and pre-programmed online training which is self-paced and sometimes interactive.
