Internal Committee Training

Internal Committee training plays a crucial role in effectively implementing the POSH Act and fostering safe and inclusive workplaces in response to the pervasive issue of sexual harassment in various sectors.

To combat this problem and create a safe working environment, the Indian government introduced the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act in 2013, mandating organizations to establish an Internal Committee to handle sexual harassment complaints.
