What we see online often plays a key role in breaking the mould of stereotypes. TV Shows have pushed forth in this domain, be it through the Chess masterpiece in the Queen’s Gambit or the Urdu dramedy in Chudails.
Belonging cannot be a one-size-fits all concept as people with different identities need specific support to contribute to team efforts.
Not feeling a sense of belonging has a deep impact on employees' mental healths and that is not good news for team productivity.
Belonging is a core human need, but what does it truly entail? That is important to understand and act upon.
- All
- PoSH
- Anti-harassment and safety
- Global compliance laws
- Domestic violence
Essential steps: Gender-neutral facilities, pronoun sensitisation, trans-inclusive PoSH training & explicit anti-discrimination clauses in HR policies.
Beyond compliance: Anonymous pulse surveys, bystander training, leadership accountability metrics & trauma-informed IC members foster true safety.
Prioritise safety, document thoroughly, avoid mediation, maintain neutrality, follow timelines strictly & ensure complainant knows support resources.
Know: Right to workplace safety (PoSH), equal pay, maternity benefits, dignity (Art 21), privacy, unionise, against retaliation & access justice.
Recent PILs seek IC member protections from defamation suits & employer retaliation, recognising their quasi-judicial role under PoSH.
Section 14 penalises malicious complaints (not unproven ones). Proving intent to harm is essential - mere lack of evidence doesn't imply falsity.
Domestic violence isn't random anger; it's a calculated cycle of tension, abuse, reconciliation & calm, reinforcing the abuser's power & control over the victim
Evidence in domestic violence cases includes medical reports, photos, threatening messages/emails, witness statements, police records & personal diaries.
