How can companies ensure POSH compliance in a remote work environment?
To ensure POSH compliance in a remote work environment, companies should start by updating their policies to reflect the unique challenges of remote work. Regular virtual training sessions should be conducted to educate employees on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act and its application in remote settings. Establish clear reporting channels, such as dedicated email addresses or helplines, and ensure confidentiality. Additionally, the Internal Committee (IC) must remain accessible and conduct investigations through video conferencing if needed. Regular communication from leadership reinforcing zero-tolerance policies is essential.
