POSH Compliance

Overview

POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Compliance is a mandatory workplace compliance requirement under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The Act requires organizations with 10 or more employees to establish a safe working environment by implementing a POSH policy, forming an Internal Committee (IC), and following proper procedures for handling workplace harassment complaints.

A well-structured POSH framework helps organizations promote workplace safety, protect employee rights, maintain professional ethics, and comply with legal requirements. Non-compliance with POSH regulations can result in penalties, reputational damage, and legal consequences.

At CAANYTIME, we provide complete POSH Compliance services to help businesses create a safe, respectful, and legally compliant workplace. Our experts assist with POSH policy drafting, Internal Committee formation, compliance documentation, and awareness support as per applicable legal requirements.

What is POSH Compliance?

POSH Compliance refers to the process of ensuring that an organization follows the requirements mentioned under the POSH Act, 2013. The law aims to prevent and address incidents of sexual harassment at the workplace while providing a proper complaint resolution mechanism.

Organizations covered under the Act are required to implement a written POSH policy, constitute an Internal Committee, conduct employee awareness programs, maintain necessary records, and complete annual compliance requirements.

A proper POSH compliance framework demonstrates an organization's commitment towards employee safety, equality, and ethical workplace practices.
