Our programs are designed for employees, HR teams, management, compliance professionals and Internal Committee members, with a practical focus on prevention, awareness, reporting, complaint handling and organizational compliance.
Whether you need a one-time POSH awareness workshop, specialized Internal Committee training, POSH policy drafting, External Member support or an ongoing corporate compliance program, Legal Basta can create a solution based on your organization’s size, workforce and requirements.
POSH refers to the legal framework for the prevention, prohibition and redressal of sexual harassment of women at the workplace under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
The Act provides a framework for preventing sexual harassment, establishing mechanisms for receiving and addressing complaints, and defining responsibilities for employers and Internal Committees.
POSH compliance is therefore more than conducting a training session once a year.
Organizations may need to establish appropriate policies, constitute an Internal Committee where applicable, communicate reporting mechanisms, provide awareness and orientation programmes, maintain appropriate documentation and support the complaint-handling process.
The Act specifically places duties on employers including providing a safe working environment, displaying relevant information, organizing awareness programmes for employees and orientation programmes for Internal Committee members, facilitating complaint inquiries and monitoring timely submission of reports.
Legal Basta helps organizations build a practical POSH framework rather than treating POSH as a checkbox exercise.
An effective POSH programme can bring together:
Every employee should understand what constitutes inappropriate workplace behaviour, how the organization’s reporting mechanism works and why maintaining a respectful workplace is everyone’s responsibility.
Legal Basta’s Employee POSH Awareness Training is designed to make POSH concepts understandable, practical and relevant to everyday workplace situations.
The session can be customized according to the organization’s workforce, industry, workplace environment and requirements.
Employee awareness training may cover:
A strong employee awareness programme should answer practical questions such as:
What behaviour may constitute sexual harassment?
Where can an employee report a concern?
What happens after a complaint is made?
What are the responsibilities of employees and the organization?
Why is confidentiality important?
Scenario-based training can help employees understand how POSH principles apply to situations that may arise in physical offices, remote workplaces, business travel, work events and professional communication.

The POSH Act specifies requirements concerning the Presiding Officer, employee members and External Member, including requirements relating to gender representation and eligibility.

An External Member forms part of the Internal Committee structure prescribed under the Act and can bring relevant knowledge or experience concerning sexual harassment and women’s rights to the committee.
