Work Place Diversity by S CHAKRABORTY

This Workshop by Corporate Dossier India is aimed at apprising the participants of the new Law, its features, compliance's, penalties for non-compliance and other Fine print of the Act/Acts besides imbibing the sensitivity in the diversity which is often not understood or is so latent and unapparent that people of either side of the gender mistake nuances of gestures and body language and commit the mistake or trespassing.

The need for the workshop arose as the Union Parliament enacted the act titled as “The S e x u a l Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013 (14 of 2013)” in view of the Guidelines of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of “Vishakha & Ors Versus State of Rajasthan and Others” dated 13/08/1997, as well as the POSH Act 2018.

That in terms of Section 29 of the Act the Central Government vide G.S.R. 769 (E) notified “The S e x u a l Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Rules, 2013” which were published in Gazette dated 9th December, 2013 (Monday).

Our workshops are usually dramatized more effectively with the help/support of a theatre group which is associated with us.
