Workplace Harassment
Workplace Harassment encompasses unwelcome conduct, including verbal, physical, or visual actions that create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment. In India, the POSH Act specifically addresses sexual harassment, while general harassment falls under company codes of conduct and standing orders. Organisations must maintain a zero-tolerance policy, provide training, and ensure confidential and prompt complaint redressal.
