POSH and social media - what you should know.

Organisations must train their ICs to check for signs of victimisation and retaliation and be able to take quick action to maintain workplace safety. livelaw.in/amp/high-court/ca… . . . #posh #poshtraining #poshlaw #poshawareness

At least now that there is increased awareness, the hope is organisations will strictly implement zero tolerance policies and address POSH as an immediate concern.

Due to this, we see that a lot of POSH initiatives remain ineffective and the issue is addressed only on a surface level.

Unfortunately, many schools and higher education institutes do not focus on teaching students about consent and boundaries or completely skip sex ed as a topic. That leaves us with adults who enter the workforce without the knowledge of these very fundamental concepts.

Many organisations conduct POSH awareness sessions/have e-learning modules in place. However, a lot of the times these remain ineffective and the reason for that is simple- the concept of consent in its true sense is unclear or remains ambiguous even after these initiatives.

For POSH initiatives to be effective and truly make a difference, it is necessary that the content creates psycho-education, addresses the basics, creates sensitisation along with awareness and leaves the participants with something to think about.

April is observed as the month of sexual assault awareness and we must talk about understanding consent at the workplace. 📢
