POSH COMMITEE

A POSH Committee (Prevention of Sexual Harassment Committee) is a workplace body established under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, in India. It aims to create a safe and harassment-free environment for women employees. The committee typically includes internal members from the organization and an external expert familiar with women’s rights. Its responsibilities involve handling complaints of sexual harassment, conducting inquiries, and ensuring fair redressal. It also promotes awareness about workplace conduct, organizes training, and ensures compliance with the POSH Act, fostering a culture of respect and equality. It's a step toward making workplaces safer and more inclusive for women.
