Why POSH Training Is Important
POSH training is an essential part of building a safe, respectful, and legally compliant workplace. Under the POSH Act, employers are required to provide a work environment free from sexual harassment, and organizations with 10 or more employees are required to constitute an Internal Committee. The law and rules also place responsibilities on employers to organize awareness programmes, workshops, and orientation initiatives to support prevention and compliance.
For organizations, this makes POSH training more than a compliance formality. It helps employees understand acceptable workplace behaviour, recognize misconduct early, improve confidence in reporting, and support a culture of accountability, dignity, and prevention. It also helps reinforce the organization's commitment to workplace safety across in-person, hybrid, and virtual work environments.
Explore Our POSH Training Plans
Our POSH course is available in two subscription options, POSH Foundation and POSH Pro, to help organizations strengthen compliance and deliver engaging POSH training at scale.
POSH Foundation
POSH Foundation is our CBT (Computer-Based Training) course designed to introduce individual contributors to the law and policy, while informing them about their rights and duties.
Since sexual harassment is a sensitive topic, employees generally have many questions regarding the same. Many employees are unaware of the legalities and their responsibilities in preventing sexual harassment at the workplace.
This course is designed to create awareness about the POSH law among employees. The eLearning content is curated based on SME reviews and customer feedback.
Topics Covered in the Course
- POSH Law Awareness
- Intent vs. Impact
- Sexual Harassment vs. Reasonable Behaviour
- Virtual Workplace Do's and Don'ts
- Bystander Intervention
- Personal Relationships at the Workplace
POSH Foundation Learning Outcomes
Through this course, employees will be able to:
- Identify sexual harassment in the workplace
- Describe the common types of sexual harassment
- Distinguish between reasonable and harassing behaviour of a sexual nature
- Understand the difference between intent and impact
- Know what to do when they experience sexual harassment
- Understand their rights and responsibilities in preventing workplace sexual harassment
- Recognize what does not constitute sexual harassment
Refresher Learning for Ongoing Awareness
POSH awareness training should not be treated as a one-time requirement. As employees change roles, workplace contexts evolve, and time passes, refresher training helps reinforce key POSH concepts, refresh memory, and keep awareness current. In the following years, we also provide refresher courses that revisit the core principles of POSH while introducing updated and relevant content for learners who have already completed the training once.
POSH Pro
POSH Pro is an advanced 12-month POSH compliance subscription designed for organizations that want to go beyond basic awareness training and build a stronger culture of respect, accountability, and prevention.
Beyond compliance, POSH Pro is designed to help organizations build a stronger culture of respect, accountability, and prevention by reinforcing learning through real-life scenarios, manager enablement, and ongoing microlearning.
Advanced Offerings
In addition to everything included in POSH Foundation, POSH Pro offers the following additional features:

POSH in Action uses realistic workplace stories to help employees understand nuances of workplace harassment, consent, boundaries, and power dynamics.
