POSH Audit Services: Ensuring Compliance and Safety in the Workplace

Maintaining a workplace free from sexual harassment requires more than just a policy; it demands ongoing vigilance, regular assessments, and a proactive approach to ensure compliance with the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act. POSHLAW.ORG offers comprehensive POSH Audit Services to help organizations assess their current practices, identify areas for improvement, and ensure they are fully compliant with legal requirements.

Our Approach

A POSH audit is a systematic review of your organization’s policies, procedures, and practices related to the prevention and redressal of sexual harassment at work. This audit is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of your existing measures and ensure that your workplace is not only legally compliant but also genuinely safe and inclusive for all employees.

Key Components of Our POSH Audit Services

  1. Policy Review and Assessment

    • We begin by conducting a thorough review of your existing POSH policy, examining its alignment with the POSH Act and best practices in the industry. This includes assessing the clarity, accessibility, and comprehensiveness of the policy, ensuring it covers all necessary aspects and is effectively communicated to all employees.

  2. ICC Effectiveness Evaluation

    • The effectiveness of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) is crucial to handling complaints of sexual harassment. We evaluate the composition, training, and functioning of your ICC to ensure it meets legal standards and is equipped to handle complaints impartially and efficiently.

  3. Compliance with Legal Requirements

    • Our audit includes a detailed review of your organization’s compliance with all legal requirements under the POSH Act. This includes ensuring that your ICC is properly constituted, that complaints are handled in a timely and confidential manner, and that appropriate records are maintained.

  4. Employee Awareness and Training Programs

    • We assess the effectiveness of your employee training and awareness programs related to POSH. This includes reviewing the frequency, content, and delivery methods of training sessions, as well as gauging employee understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the POSH Act.

  5. Incident Management and Reporting

    • We review your procedures for reporting, investigating, and resolving complaints of sexual harassment. This includes assessing the timelines, confidentiality measures, and support provided to both complainants and respondents during the process.

  6. Workplace Culture and Environment Assessment

    • A positive workplace culture is essential for preventing sexual harassment. We conduct surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions to understand the workplace environment, employee perceptions, and any underlying issues that may contribute to harassment or impede reporting.

  7. Recommendations and Action Plan

    • Based on our findings, we provide detailed recommendations for improving your POSH compliance and workplace safety. This includes an action plan with clear steps, timelines, and responsibilities to address any gaps or areas for improvement identified during the audit.
