Local Committees (LCs) provide a district-level redressal mechanism under PoSH for workplaces with fewer than 10 employees or the unorganised sector.
Miss M Bratt’s case shows “banter” can cross the line. Clear conduct codes and leadership modelling are vital to stop unlawful workplace harassment.
Vague codes cause confusion and risk. Precise definitions, visible enforcement and regular reviews of conduct policies help ensure staff safety.
Nicola Hinds’s case exposed bias against pregnant staff. Strong maternity policies, escalation paths and manager training are essential to protect rights.
NHS staff face bias and unwanted advances. Respectful culture, safe reporting routes and leadership accountability are key to real systemic change.
Workplaces often overlook emotional wellbeing, yet fostering psychological safety boosts engagement and productivity.
