Course Overview
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, commonly known as the POSH Act, was enacted to provide protection against sexual harassment at the workplace and to ensure effective mechanisms for prevention and redressal of complaints.
A respectful workplace is not only a legal requirement but also an essential element of organisational success. Organisations that actively promote awareness of workplace behaviour, professional ethics, gender sensitivity, and employee rights create healthier work environments where individuals feel safe, respected, and empowered to contribute effectively.
The POSH Act places specific responsibilities on employers to prevent sexual harassment, constitute an Internal Committee (IC), conduct regular awareness programmes, organise capacity-building initiatives, maintain confidentiality, and ensure timely redressal of complaints. Employees, managers, supervisors, HR professionals, and organisational leaders also play a vital role in maintaining workplaces free from sexual harassment and discrimination.
This certification has been carefully developed by CORISE Consulting (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. to simplify the provisions of the POSH Act through practical learning, workplace examples, case studies, and real-life scenarios. Instead of focusing only on legal provisions, the programme emphasises behavioural awareness, prevention strategies, respectful communication, ethical conduct, organisational culture, and professional responsibility.
Participants will understand what constitutes sexual harassment, recognise different forms of inappropriate workplace behaviour, learn the complaint redressal process, appreciate the importance of confidentiality, and understand the responsibilities of employers, Internal Committee members, managers, supervisors, and employees.
The course is valuable for organisations seeking to strengthen workplace compliance while also building positive organisational culture, employee trust, diversity, inclusion, and gender equality. Upon successful completion, participants will possess practical knowledge to contribute towards creating safer, more respectful, and legally compliant workplaces across India
