Is posh training mandatory in Kochi?

The PoSH Act, 2013 applies to every workplace in India with 10 or more employees — private companies, startups, PSUs, NGOs, hospitals and educational institutions alike. Each must constitute an Internal Committee, display the policy, run regular awareness, and file an annual return with the District Officer.

Who should attend in Kochi

All employeesWhat constitutes harassment, their rights, and how to raise a complaint safely.
Internal Committee (IC) membersCertification on running a lawful, time-bound inquiry with natural justice.
HR & People teamsThe policy, registers, record-keeping and the statutory annual return.
Managers & leadershipTheir duty to prevent, respond, and protect complainants from retaliation.

Cost of non-compliance

Failure to constitute an Internal Committee or comply with the Act attracts a monetary penalty of up to ₹50,000 under Section 26. A repeat offence can double the penalty and lead to cancellation of the business's licence or registration — alongside civil liability and reputational damage.

Why these programmes matter

POSH is a statutory obligation at 10 or more employees

Every employer with 10 or more employees must constitute an Internal Committee and conduct regular awareness. Non-compliance carries penalties and, on repetition, cancellation of licence or registration.

IC members must be trained to inquire lawfully

An Internal Committee that mishandles a complaint exposes the employer to challenge. Certification covers natural justice, evidence, timelines and the report — the parts most often got wrong.

An external IC member is mandatory

The law requires an external member from an NGO or with relevant experience on every Internal Committee. We advise on and can provide this alongside the training.
