Make your workplace trans-inclusive
Essential steps: Gender-neutral facilities, pronoun sensitisation, trans-inclusive PoSH training & explicit anti-discrimination clauses in HR policies.
Measures to build a safer workplace
Beyond compliance: Anonymous pulse surveys, bystander training, leadership accountability metrics & trauma-informed IC members foster true safety.
Things to remember while evaluating your first sexual harassment complaint
Prioritise safety, document thoroughly, avoid mediation, maintain neutrality, follow timelines strictly & ensure complainant knows support resources.
12 legal rights you should know
Know: Right to workplace safety (PoSH), equal pay, maternity benefits, dignity (Art 21), privacy, unionise, against retaliation & access justice.
Safeguarding rights of the Internal Committee: PIL
Recent PILs seek IC member protections from defamation suits & employer retaliation, recognising their quasi-judicial role under PoSH.
False complaints under the PoSH law
Section 14 penalises malicious complaints (not unproven ones). Proving intent to harm is essential – mere lack of evidence doesn’t imply falsity.
