MuskanA safe and respectful workplace requires more than having a PoSH policy on paper. Employees need awareness, the Internal Committee (IC) needs proper guidance, and the organisation should have clear processes for handling workplace concerns.
For organisations covered under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) framework, compliance is an ongoing responsibility, not just an annual training activity.
Internal Committee (IC) Under the PoSH Act
For organisations with 10 or more employees, an appropriately constituted Internal Committee is an important part of the PoSH framework. However, simply forming an IC is not enough. Members should understand their roles, confidentiality requirements and the process for handling complaints fairly and sensitively.
This is where professional PoSH training and consultancy can help.
PoSH Awareness Sessions and IC Training
Employee awareness sessions help staff understand workplace sexual harassment, professional boundaries, appropriate behaviour, their responsibilities and how to raise a concern. IC training, meanwhile, helps committee members better understand their responsibilities and complaint-handling processes.
PoSH Consultancy and Compliance Support
PoSH support can also include IC formulation, External Member support, PoSH Policy drafting or review, SOPs and process documentation, compliance reviews, record keeping and Annual Report support.
At The Naudiyal’s Group, we provide end-to-end PoSH Training, Consulting and Compliance Support to help organisations in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and nearby areas build a structured and practical PoSH framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PoSH?
PoSH stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment. In India it refers to the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, which requires organisations to provide a safe workplace and a process for handling complaints.
Who needs to form an Internal Committee (IC)?
Organisations with 10 or more employees are expected to have an appropriately constituted Internal Committee. The IC handles complaints and must follow a fair, confidential and sensitive process.
What if my organisation has fewer than 10 employees?
Workplaces with fewer than 10 employees fall under the Local Committee mechanism at the district level. We can guide you on what applies to your organisation and how to set up practical internal processes.
Is PoSH training mandatory, or is having a policy enough?
A policy alone is not enough. Employees need awareness, IC members need proper training, and the organisation should have clear processes for handling concerns. Compliance is an ongoing responsibility, not just an annual training activity.
What does PoSH awareness training for employees cover?
Sessions help employees understand workplace sexual harassment, professional boundaries, appropriate behaviour, their responsibilities and how to raise a concern.
What does IC training cover?
IC training helps committee members understand their roles, confidentiality requirements and the process for handling complaints fairly and sensitively.
What is an External Member and can you provide one?
An External Member is an independent member of the Internal Committee who is not part of the organisation. The Naudiyal’s Group provides External Member support as part of its PoSH services.
What PoSH documentation does an organisation need?
Typically a PoSH policy, SOPs and process documentation, records of training and complaints, and an Annual Report. We help with drafting or reviewing these documents and with compliance reviews and record keeping.
