PoSH and Gender Sensitization Training for Employees
As per the ACT, it is mandatory to conduct PoSH training for all employees of the organization. We provide training relating to gender sensitization and PoSH for employees across all levels. This hands-on training addresses the elements of handling and prevention of unacceptable behaviour. You will also get a detailed overview of the ‘The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal)’ or the PoSH Act 2013.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is PoSH and gender sensitization training mandatory for all employees?
Yes. Under Section 19 of the PoSH Act, 2013, every employer who employs 10 or more employees is required to provide PoSH and gender sensitization training to all employees. This includes orientation for new joiners and refresher sessions for existing employees. Non-compliance can lead to penalties starting from Rs. 50,000.
Q. How often should employee PoSH training be conducted?
At least once a year, with induction sessions for new employees and periodic refreshers. As a best practice, conducting sessions twice a year is recommended - especially since attrition means a single annual session may not cover every employee over the course of the year.
Q. Can PoSH training be delivered online, offline, or in a hybrid format?
Yes. PoSH training can be delivered online, offline, or in a hybrid format depending on the organisation's size and employee spread. Online sessions work well for remote employees and multi-location teams, offline sessions offer greater engagement for single-location teams; and the hybrid format is increasingly used to ensure consistency and wider reach across all employees.
Q. Who should attend gender sensitization training - only women, or all employees?
All employees - men and women both - must attend gender sensitization training to promote a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. Since men often hold supervisory and decision-making positions, their awareness directly shapes whether workplace culture is genuinely safe or merely compliant on paper.
