About This Service
Training That Goes Beyond a Box-Ticking Exercise
Most organisations know that PoSH training is a legal requirement. Fewer understand what good PoSH training actually looks like. A one-hour generic session watched on mute is not the same as an engaged, thoughtful programme built for your workforce.
At Sol, we design and deliver customised PoSH training and awareness programmes that reflect the realities of your workplace. We account for your industry, your workforce composition, your culture and the specific challenges your teams face.
Our sessions educate employees and leadership alike on the nuances of the PoSH Act 2013, including what constitutes sexual harassment, how the complaint process works, the rights and responsibilities of every person in the organisation, and what a safe, respectful workplace looks and feels like in practice.
We work with organisations across India and deliver training in both online and offline formats, with sessions available in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and Kannada to ensure no part of your workforce is left behind.
What We Offer
Our PoSH Training Services
Each training programme is tailored to its audience. We do not use a single template for every session because the needs of a factory floor workforce, a corporate team and an Internal Committee are not the same.
For All Employees
Employee Training on PoSH
This session covers the fundamentals every employee needs to understand. What constitutes sexual harassment under the Act, the difference between appropriate and inappropriate workplace conduct, the meaning of consent, and how to raise or report a concern.
The programme is designed to be accessible, not legalistic. It uses clear language, real-world scenarios and interactive discussion to build genuine understanding rather than passive compliance. Sessions are adapted for blue-collar, white-collar and mixed-audience workforces.
For Managers and Team Leaders
PoSH Training for Managers and Team Leaders
This specialised session equips managers and team leaders with what they need to lead responsibly. Managerial accountability under the PoSH Act, the consequences of inaction, how to handle disclosures from team members, and the importance of fostering a culture where employees feel safe speaking up.
Leaders set the tone for their teams. This session ensures they understand both the legal dimensions of their role and the human ones.
For IC Members
Internal Committee Training
Internal Committee members carry serious legal and ethical responsibilities. This dedicated programme trains IC members on conducting fair and impartial inquiries, maintaining confidentiality, applying the principles of natural justice, managing timelines mandated by the Act, and preparing annual reports.
An undertrained IC is a compliance risk. This session ensures every committee member understands not just the rules, but the judgment required to apply them well.
Culture and Inclusion
Gender Sensitisation Training
Beyond legal compliance, this session addresses the underlying culture that makes workplaces safe or unsafe. It covers gender sensitivity and inclusion, unconscious bias, respectful communication, and how everyday behaviour shapes the environment experienced by colleagues.
This is the training that moves organisations from technical compliance to a genuine culture of respect. It works well as a standalone session or in combination with core PoSH awareness training.
How We Deliver
Flexible Formats for Every Organisation
Not every organisation operates the same way. We offer multiple delivery formats so training fits your people and your workflow, not the other way around.
Online Training
Live virtual sessions delivered over video, suitable for remote teams, distributed workforces and organisations with multiple locations. Fully interactive, with Q&A and discussion built in.
Offline Training
In-person sessions conducted at your workplace. Ideal for teams that benefit from face-to-face engagement, including blue-collar workforces, manufacturing units, and frontline staff.
Targeted Role-Based Sessions
Separate sessions for employees, managers and IC members, each calibrated to the responsibilities and context of that group. Role-specific training lands far more effectively than a one-size session.
Customised Programmes
For organisations with specific needs, sector contexts or workforce profiles, we build bespoke training programmes from the ground up, drawing on your policies, your language and your culture.
Accessibility
Training in the Language Your Team Understands
Effective PoSH training requires genuine comprehension. A session delivered in a language employees are not fully comfortable in will not achieve what it needs to achieve.
We deliver PoSH training and awareness sessions in English and four regional languages, making our programmes genuinely accessible to diverse workforces across India.
This is particularly important for organisations that operate across states, employ large numbers of blue-collar or frontline workers, or work with contractual staff who may not be comfortable in English.
Sessions are conducted by trainers fluent in the language of delivery, not translated through intermediaries. The content is also contextualised for regional norms and workplace cultures, making it relevant and resonant for every participant.

The Legal Basis
Why PoSH Training Is Not Optional
PoSH awareness and training are not a best practice. They are a legal obligation under the PoSH Act 2013. Here is what the law requires and why it matters beyond compliance.
Under Section 19 of the PoSH Act, employers are legally required to:
- Organise workshops and awareness programmes at regular intervals
- Orient new employees through induction and training sessions
- Ensure IC members are trained to conduct fair and lawful inquiries
- Communicate the PoSH policy clearly to all employees
- Create an environment where employees know their rights and how to use them
Clarity for Employees
Employees who understand the law, the process and their rights are far more likely to speak up when something goes wrong. Training removes ambiguity and reduces the fear that stops people from coming forward.
Protection for Employers
Documented, regular training demonstrates that your organisation has taken its obligations seriously. This matters significantly if a complaint is ever escalated externally or reaches a court.
A Safer Culture
Beyond legal protection, training shapes how people behave day to day. It sets the standard for what is acceptable and signals to every employee that their safety and dignity are valued by the organisation.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear often from HR teams, managers and employees when they are setting up or improving their PoSH training programme.
Is PoSH training legally mandatory?
Yes. Section 19 of the PoSH Act 2013 places a legal obligation on employers to organise workshops and orientation programmes for employees at regular intervals. Training IC members is specifically required as well. Failing to conduct training is a breach of the Act and can result in penalties, including fines of up to Rs. 50,000 for first-time non-compliance.
How often should PoSH training be conducted?
The Act requires training at regular intervals, which most compliance experts interpret as at least once a year. New employees should receive training as part of their induction. IC members benefit from refresher training whenever there are changes in composition, and at minimum annually. Organisations that grow quickly or have high turnover may need to train more frequently to keep their workforce covered.
Can online PoSH training count as compliance?
Yes, online training absolutely counts as valid training under the Act. What matters is that the training is conducted, documented and genuinely educational, not the medium through which it is delivered. Sol's online sessions are live and interactive, not pre-recorded modules watched passively. We provide participation records for your compliance documentation.
Does PoSH training need to cover contractual workers and interns?
Yes. The PoSH Act extends protection to all women workers regardless of employment type, including permanent, contractual, temporary, daily wage, intern, trainee, apprentice and domestic workers. This means your obligation to create a safe workplace and educate your people applies to all of them. Our sessions can be designed to include mixed-workforce groups.
What is the difference between PoSH training for employees and for IC members?
Employee training focuses on awareness: what constitutes sexual harassment, how to raise a complaint, and what to expect from the process. IC member training is more technical. It covers how to receive and manage complaints, how to conduct a lawful and impartial inquiry, the principles of natural justice, timelines under the Act, maintaining confidentiality, and preparing annual reports. These are fundamentally different programmes and should be delivered separately.
Can Sol customise training for our specific industry or workforce?
Yes, and this is something we actively encourage. A PoSH training session for a technology company looks very different from one designed for a manufacturing unit, a hospital or a school. We take the time to understand your organisation, your workforce and any specific challenges before building or adapting a programme. Generic training often misses the mark. Contextualised training creates lasting change.
Will Sol provide documentation after training for compliance records?
Yes, and this is something we actively encourage. A PoSH training session for a technology company looks very different from one designed for a manufacturing unit, a hospital or a school. We take the time to understand your organisation, your workforce and any specific challenges before building or adapting a programme. Generic training often misses the mark. Contextualised training creates lasting change.
Is Your Organisation Truly PoSH Compliant?
Having a policy on paper is not the same as being compliant. Real PoSH compliance is about people, culture, and processes all working together. Sol helps organisations across India build workplaces where safety is a lived reality, not just a checkbox.
