Responsibilities of Employers Under PoSH: Building a Safe Workplace

Employers play a pivotal role in ensuring a harassment-free environment. Under the PoSH Act, 2013, here’s what they must do:

1. Set Up an Internal Committee (IC): Ensure an IC is established at every workplace with 10 or more employees to address complaints.
2. Create Awareness Programs: Regularly conduct training sessions and workshops to educate employees about workplace harassment and their rights.
3. Draft a Policy: Develop a comprehensive anti-sexual harassment policy and communicate it clearly to all employees.
4. Confidentiality and Fair Investigation: Handle complaints with utmost confidentiality and ensure a timely, unbiased inquiry process.
5. Submit Annual Compliance Reports: Regularly report compliance to the District Officer.

When employers prioritize these responsibilities, they foster trust, inclusivity, and safety at work. Let's strive for workplaces where dignity and respect are paramount.
