POSH Awareness Training for Employees & Organizations

Build a Safe, Compliant, and Respectful Workplace

safe and respectful environment is not just a legal requirement—it is the foundation of a productive, high-trust organization. Under the POSH Act, 2013, every organization with 10 or more employees must conduct regular, structured POSH awareness training for all staff members. Failure to comply can lead to fines, license cancellation, and lasting reputational damage.

However, compliance is only the starting point. Real prevention happens when employees understand what constitutes harassment, how to report it safely, and how to support a culture of dignity.

Our POSH training for employees is a practical, scenario-based program built to move beyond theoretical lectures. At Nirmala Foundation, we have designed this training to help your team:

  • Clearly identify unwelcome conduct through real workplace scenarios
  • Learn the correct reporting procedures and understand their rights
  • Contribute to a respectful, inclusive, and legally compliant workplace

Whether you need a one-time POSH session, annual refresher training, or a full rollout across multiple locations, our program helps you meet your legal obligations while genuinely transforming your workplace culture.
