PoSH Certification: Enrol For Ungender’s 10 Hour Intensive Program On PoSH Act
Why We Need PoSH Training During The Covid-19 Pandemic:
In light of the unprecedented situation created by Covid-19, we’ve witnessed a massive shift in the service sector where the workplace has moved from the office to homes. If your employees are working from home, they’re still protected under Indian laws and have to continue to abide by the mandatory policy formulated to prevent and redress complaints of sexual harassment under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, and rules framed thereunder, under the PoSH Law.
Never before has there been a greater need for Internal Committees (ICs) to stay updated and External Members, HR heads, and managers to understand not only the law, but also the complexities of PoSH compliances. Keeping this is mind, Ungender and Conduct are inviting you to a two-day certification workshop to provide your organisation and its members the skills for addressing sexual harassment at the workplace.
Dates:
The PoSH certification workshop will be conducted on 23rd and 24th October, 2020, broken down into 5 hours for each day, with a lunch break in-between and an overnight assessment test.
Fee:
10,000/- along with certificate (exclusive of taxes)
Who Will Conduct The Program?
Pallavi Pareek, Founder and CEO of Ungender Legal Advisory and Conduct and Suruchi Kumar, Head of Legal Services at Ungender.
Who Should Attend?
IC members of companies, NGO members, Lawyers, In-house Legal Counsels of companies, HR managers, independent PoSH practitioners and law students.
