Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Policy

The Policy on Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH), reflects our commitment to ensuring that all employees feel safe, valued, and respected within our organization.

At InfosecTrain, we firmly believe that every individual has the right to work in an environment free from any form of harassment or discrimination. As such, the POSH policy has been developed to prevent and address instances of sexual harassment, both overt and subtle, that may occur in the workplace. This policy applies to all employees, regardless of their position or tenure.
