POSH EMPLOYEE AWARENESS & SENSITISATION
Safer Workplaces, Beyond Training
For enterprises, building safer workplaces is not just a legal necessity — it is a leadership responsibility. With large, diverse, and distributed teams, the risks of gaps in awareness multiply. A single unreported incident, a poorly handled complaint, or a misunderstood boundary can lead to cultural breakdown, reputational damage, and legal exposure.
At Ungender, we design enterprise-ready POSH awareness programs that go beyond generic training. We help global and multi-sector organisations build trust, strengthen compliance, and ensure employees at every level understand their rights, responsibilities, and the processes that protect them.
WHY ENTERPRISE POSH AWARENESS MATTERS
Policy Without Awareness is a Broken Promise.
The numbers highlight the scale of risk:
70%
of employees don't report incidents due to mistrust or fear of retaliation.
₹50 lakh+
in potential penalties and compensation for non-compliance.
30%
productivity loss when harassment issues are ignored or suppressed.
₹1.68 crore
— the highest penalty imposed for IC/documentation failures in India.
18%
higher attrition in organisations with weak grievance redressal systems.
65%
of employees would consider leaving if they felt unsafe at work.
For enterprises, awareness is not optional. It is the bridge between policy on paper and trust in practice.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Enterprise Compliance Must Translate Into Everyday Culture
With scale comes complexity. For POSH compliance to work in large organisations, awareness must:
- Reach different employee groups — from corporate offices to plants, warehouses, and frontline staff.
- Adapt to multiple formats and languages across geographies.
- Create confidence in leadership and the Internal Committee.
- Be ongoing, not limited to a single annual session.
Robust awareness systems are not just about avoiding penalties — they are about strengthening culture, reducing attrition, and positioning the organisation as a trusted employer.
THE IMPACT OF ENTERPRISE-GRADE AWARENESS
When enterprises invest in continuous, structured awareness, the outcomes are measurable:
40%
improvement in reporting accuracy
Employees step forward earlier when they trust the process is confidential and fair.
50%
faster resolution timelines
Trained ICs, supported by structured processes, handle cases without unnecessary delay.
Enhanced
trust in leadership
When awareness is visible and leadership is accountable, employees see compliance as cultural commitment, not a formality.
Reduced
attrition, stronger employer brand
Employees stay longer in workplaces that are safe, fair, and responsive.
OUR APPROACH
Awareness Designed for Enterprise Scale
Ungender understands the complexity of enterprise workplaces — multiple locations, diverse employee groups, cross-border teams, and sectoral differences. We design awareness programs that align with this reality:
Contextual Design
Enterprise workplaces are diverse ecosystems. A boardroom executive and a factory floor supervisor face different harassment scenarios, speak different languages, and prefer different learning formats.
Our contextual design approach ensures that awareness programs speak directly to each audience:
Corporate Teams: Case studies involving power dynamics, digital boundaries, and professional conduct in hybrid work environments.
Plant & Factory Workers: Visual, local-language modules focusing on shop-floor hierarchies, safety protocols, and respectful communication.
Service & Frontline Staff: Role-specific scenarios covering customer interactions, uniform boundaries, and escalation procedures.
Leadership & Management: Advanced modules on culture-building, bias recognition, and accountability frameworks for creating psychologically safe workplaces.
Sector-Specific Scenarios
Generic training fails because it doesn't address the unique challenges each industry faces. Our sector-specific approach brings relevance and credibility to awareness programs.
We create industry-tailored scenarios that employees recognize and relate to:
IT & Technology: Remote work boundaries, digital communication ethics, startup culture dynamics, and handling harassment in virtual environments.
Manufacturing & Industrial: Shift patterns, multilingual communication, gender dynamics in male-dominated environments, and safety-harassment intersections.
Healthcare & Life Sciences: Patient-provider boundaries, high-stress environments, power hierarchies in medical settings, and respectful care practices.
Financial Services: Client interactions, professional conduct standards, regulatory compliance intersections, and creating inclusive team cultures.
Logistics & Supply Chain: Driver safety, warehouse environments, customer-facing interactions, and mobile workforce challenges.
Each sector module includes real-world case studies, industry-specific legal considerations, and practical escalation paths relevant to that workplace environment.
Multi-Format Delivery
Enterprise scale means diverse learning preferences, varying schedules, and different levels of digital literacy. Our multi-format approach ensures no employee is left behind.
We deliver awareness through multiple channels to maximize reach and engagement:
In-Person Workshops: Interactive sessions for teams that benefit from face-to-face discussion, role-playing exercises, and immediate Q&A with certified trainers.
Virtual Live Sessions: Real-time online training for distributed teams, featuring breakout rooms, live polls, and interactive case study discussions.
Multilingual E-Learning: Self-paced modules available in local languages, optimized for mobile devices, with progress tracking and completion certificates.
Micro-Learning Campaigns: Bite-sized weekly content delivered via email, messaging apps, or company portals—perfect for reinforcing key concepts without overwhelming schedules.
Digital Campaigns: Posters, infographics, and video content displayed across company communication channels to maintain awareness visibility.
Leadership Briefings: Executive-level sessions focusing on governance, accountability, and culture-setting responsibilities.
All formats are designed to complement each other, creating a comprehensive awareness ecosystem that reaches every employee through their preferred learning style.
Continuous Reinforcement
One-time training creates momentary awareness, but workplace culture change requires sustained, systematic reinforcement. Our continuous approach ensures that POSH awareness remains top-of-mind throughout the year.
We maintain awareness momentum through strategic touchpoints:
Monthly Newsletters: Curated content featuring real case studies, legal updates, IC highlights, and practical tips—delivered directly to employee inboxes.
Quarterly Refreshers: Short, focused sessions that address emerging workplace trends, seasonal topics (like festival celebrations and boundary setting), and reinforce core concepts.
Campaign Moments: Awareness drives during International Women's Day, 16 Days of Activism, and other relevant occasions to maintain cultural conversation.
Digital Touchpoints: Screensavers, intranet banners, and lobby displays that keep key messages visible in daily work environments.
New Joiner Orientations: Ensuring every new employee receives comprehensive POSH awareness as part of their onboarding journey.
Leadership Communications: Regular messaging from senior leadership reinforcing organizational commitment and sharing progress updates.
Feedback Loops: Pulse surveys, focus groups, and open forums that allow employees to share experiences and suggest improvements to the awareness program.
This systematic approach transforms awareness from a compliance checkbox into a living, breathing part of organizational culture.

OUR POSH AWARENESS LIFECYCLE
Inform → Engage → Reflect → Act → Refresh

This lifecycle ensures awareness remains alive, relevant, and enterprise-scaled — making workplaces not only compliant, but truly safe.
