PoSH covers digital harassment: inappropriate messages/calls, cyberstalking, non-consensual image sharing & gendered abuse via work platforms.
- PoSH
Sweetie/"beta" etc. become harassment when unwelcome, infantilising or undermining professionalism. Context & recipient reaction define appropriateness.
- PoSH
Colleagues should offer support without prying, respect confidentiality, and share factual testimony if they witnessed events. They must never victim-blame.
- PoSH
The IC Presiding Officer must actively steer inquiries, ensure procedural fairness, manage dynamics & uphold PoSH's spirit - not merely rubber-stamp decisions.
- PoSH
Zero PoSH complaints often signal fear, mistrust or poor awareness - not model compliance. Proactive culture audits are essential.
- PoSH
All-male workplaces must still form ICs per PoSH rules, appointing an external woman member and ensuring gender diversity where possible in the committee.
