Program Overview: What is Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Corporate Training?
Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) is Edstellar's instructor-led compliance program for Internal Committee members, HR teams, and people managers. Participants master the POSH Act, 2013, harassment behaviors and red flags, prevention frameworks, IC constitution and procedure, and inquiry conduct and findings reports. The program builds competence to run the Act properly, end to end.
Training is case-based throughout. Learners work through complaint scenarios, draft inquiry procedures, and write findings reports in guided exercises drawn from real IC practice, including inquiries that do not go smoothly. Instructors coach participants on procedural fairness and documentation discipline, challenging every step with direct feedback on legal soundness. The program closes with a capstone: an end-to-end POSH audit and mock inquiry.
POSH failures are costly and public: botched inquiries, non-compliant committees, and organizations exposed when complaints surface. This program teaches your team to prevent harassment systematically and handle complaints lawfully. The result is a workplace program that stands up when tested.
The mock inquiry runs to the letter of the Act: intake, evidence collection, hearings, and a written findings report, followed by a full audit of the organization's prevention framework. Your IC members return having run the process once, before a real complaint demands it.
Teams Enhance their compliance Capability through guided labs and applied exercises, not lectures alone. Employees Upskill in complaint handling, inquiry procedure, and documentation, then apply them to their Day-to-day Work. Collaboration improves as HR, legal, and audit align on one defensible standard, and Performance is measured through the capstone mock inquiry rather than quizzes.

Develop Fair POSH Complaint Handling Through Policy and Mock Inquiry Practice
Edstellar helps HR teams and Internal Committee members connect POSH learning with fair, documented processes. Participants examine workplace scenarios, draft policy provisions, and develop complaint-intake and inquiry records. A mock inquiry and program audit test the consistency of procedure, evidence review, and findings without using identifiable workplace allegations.
- Step 01
Consult
We review participants' complaint-handling responsibilities, policy familiarity, and experience with Internal Committee procedures to identify gaps in intake, inquiry conduct, or written findings.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish the POSH Act's scope and workplace behaviors before prevention policies, committee arrangements, complaint procedures, inquiry reasoning, and the integrated mock case.
- Step 03
Align
We align POSH and workplace inquiry expertise with HR, manager, and committee roles, setting confidentiality expectations and respectful boundaries for sensitive case discussions.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt fictional multi-location employers and complaint files to familiar organizational structures, retaining enough evidence complexity to practice fair reasoning without exposing real complainants.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants draft policy clauses, assemble intake checklists, and outline findings from mock evidence, receiving feedback on procedural clarity, impartial reasoning, and documented conclusions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the mock inquiry and readiness audit for consistent process, supported findings, complete records, and identification of policy or committee gaps requiring attention.
