A POSH Policy is an organisation's official statement of what conduct is unacceptable at the workplace and how sexual harassment complaints will be handled. It's also the first place an employee turns when something has gone wrong before they look at the Act itself.
Under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, every organisation with 10 or more employees is legally required to have one.
What a Strong POSH Policy Must Include
- Definition of Sexual Harassment: Covering unwelcome physical contact, requests for sexual favours, and sexually coloured remarks.
- Scope of the Policy: Clearly stating who is covered employees, interns, consultants, vendors, clients, and visitors.
- Internal Committee (IC) Structure: Responsibilities for handling complaints.
- Complaint Filing Procedure: A clear, step-by-step process for filing a complaint.
- Protection Against Retaliation: Explicit safeguards for employees who report harassment.
Why Organisations Choose TSA
We draft policies that are legally sound and genuinely usable, not templates lifted from a generic HR toolkit. Based at Tis Hazari Court and in Rohini, we work with organisations across Delhi and Delhi-NCR to build POSH frameworks that are compliant, clearly written, and grounded in how these matters actually play out.
