360 degree Solutions against Bullying, Harassment & Discrimination and promote Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging.
Many may not fully understand the different forms of harassment, their impact on individuals, or the long-term consequences. Further, such topics are considered ‘taboo’ topics across several parts of the world making it further difficult to bring such issues to the forefront.
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act and Rules, 2013 (“Law”) mandates every Employer to “provide a safe working environment at the workplace which shall include safety from the persons coming into contact at the workplace” (Section 19 (a)).
All organizations (whether public or private) having 10 or more employees (whether permanent, temporary, ad-hoc, consultants, interns or contract workers irrespective of gender) are mandated under Law to comply with certain requirements laid down under the POSH Act. This Law also lays down the redressal mechanism wherein the aggrieved person can file a sexual harassment complaint with the Internal Committee of the organization.
‘RESPEKT’ is a Greek work for the term ‘Respect’. Respect is commonly understood as a positive feeling or action shown towards someone or something to show that they are valued and held in high regard. At The Legal Swan, we believe that Respect is the key to all healthy relationships (be it personal or professional), effective communication, and harmonious coexistence in society.
The aim of this Dialogue is to shape the global narrative against ‘Harassment and Discrimination’.
On the 10th anniversary of the POSH law in India, bringing together the first Global Dialogue against ‘Harassment & Discrimination’.
The anti-sexual harassment law of India i.e. Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 will complete a decade of implementation on 9th December 2023. Hence, we are organizing a first of its kind Global Dialogue titled ‘Anvay’ on ‘Harassment & Discrimination’. ‘Anvay’ (अन्वय) in Sanskrit means ‘Positivity’.

I take this opportunity to thank The Legal Swan Team for their good efforts during engagement on eLearning and ICC training assignments with us.
This week, I had the privilege of participating in a half-day POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) training, meticulously arranged by our HR team at Aditya Birla Chemicals. It was a comprehensive session designed for all Internal Committee (IC) members across our factories, individual businesses, and at the sector level. Exceptional Training by Shivangi Prasad. A special mention to Shivangi Prasad, who facilitated the training. Her approach was engaging and interactive, making the 4-hour session fly by. The use of multiple case studies effectively highlighted the gravity of our responsibilities, yet ensured the training was not burdensome. There were numerous meaningful takeaways.
