Description
“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”
Workplace safety and dignity are non-negotiable. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 – commonly known as the POSH Act – was introduced in India to ensure every woman can work with equality, respect, and without fear.
This comprehensive course provides a step-by-step understanding of the POSH Act, starting from the Vishaka Guidelines of 1997 to its evolution into a robust legal framework. You will learn the definitions, scope, and objectives of the Act, understand what constitutes sexual harassment, and explore real-world scenarios that help identify unwelcome behavior at work.
The course explains the roles of employers, HR professionals, and government authorities in preventing workplace harassment. It provides detailed guidance on forming Internal Complaints Committees (ICC) and Local Complaints Committees (LCC), complaint filing, inquiry procedures, and the rights of both complainant and respondent.
Learners will also gain insights into compensation, penalties, false complaints, annual reporting, and compliance requirements. To encourage practical implementation, the course covers Indian case studies, international best practices, and strategies to build a culture of zero tolerance.
Whether you are an HR professional, employer, ICC member, or employee, this course will empower you with knowledge, tools, and confidence to create safe, inclusive, and legally compliant workplaces.
Who this course is for:
- HR leaders
- managers
- and compliance officers responsible for workplace policies.

- and business owners who must ensure POSH compliance.
- Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and Local Complaints Committee (LCC) members.
