Beyond Compliance: Workplace Safety and POSH – Training Program on 3rd July 2026

Dear Friends,

A few weeks back, I was discussing with a well-seasoned HR professional various subjects related to HR, in which, interestingly, the topic of Workplace safety and Sexual Harassment came up. We had an extended discussion on the topic. At the end of the conversation, I realized how less informed we are when it comes to Laws and Acts related to the workplace, one such a topic is POSH.

Many organizations mistakenly view the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act as just another legal checklist to satisfy human resources records. However, the reality is far more profound. Enacted in 2013 to ensure women’s right to workplace equality and safety, the POSH Act is a powerful catalyst for organizational transformation. When implemented with genuine intent, POSH compliance goes far beyond legal adherence—it protects employees, cultivates a culture of respect, and serves as a strategic driver for business growth.

When it comes to understanding the POSH Act as well as implementing it in MSMEs, especially in labour-intensive industries such as Textile and Apparel production is significantly challenging. A workplace where sexual harassment remains unaddressed can negatively affect women’s well-being, confidence, and productivity.

Despite the POSH Act being in force for over a decade, compliance remains weak, with many organisations failing to report the learnings from the established Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) or disclose mandatory data on harassment complaints.

So, understanding POSH and implementing it for the benefit of our business is imperative and has to be taken as a serious business case to establish the best practices on HR & Empowerment.

As a business owner, I am planning to participate in a program “Workplace Safety and POSH Compliance” organized by Tirupur Exporters Association, Tirupur Stakeholders Forum & Textile Industry Coalition at Tirupur on 3rd July  2026 (Friday). Session details as follows: If you are a business owner, participate in this session with your HR Team and explore.

Empowering MSMEs: Leveraging the POSH Act for a Sustainable Future

When we talk about business sustainability, the conversation often steers toward environmental impact—reducing carbon footprints, adopting green energy, or minimizing waste. However, true sustainability encompasses the entire ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) spectrum. For Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the “Social” pillar is just as crucial for long-term survival and growth.

Why are we discussing POSH now? When companies encounter challenges in a new way, we often go into panic and try to do all sorts of nonsense activities to get out of the trouble. When we are in the process of building a great organization which is expected to last for generations, we must work to address the issues behind the problems. So better now than later!!!

We work with a new generational workforce; the present work environment is changing. Thought processes are changing; hence, our approach towards the workforce has to “Meet their Expectations”. The expectations are always simple: “Good Work Environment with less or no Toxic behaviours”.

We in Tirupur have evolved our HR practices over three decades, with compliance and adoption of best practices. We involve more than 80% of women as workforce, and are supervised by 100% of men managers and executives. Our industry has been in a firefighting mode rather than well prepared when it comes to meeting the requirements and deadlines of customers. Under these circumstances, creating a “Happy – Good – Equality – Work Environment” is challenging but achievable and is the need of the hour.
