PERSPECTIVE
The Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention,
Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 envisioned the creation of a
body known as the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in every
workplace. ICC is meant to act as a watchdog to ensure that
workplaces are safe for women and that complaint of sexual
harassment in the workplace can be resolved internally to the
greatest extent possible. ICC is meant to conduct fair and impartial
inquiries and arrive at solutions that are acceptable to the aggrieved
employee. Ever since the Act was enacted, there have been
numerous occasions where disputes have arisen regarding the
extent of ICC’s powers or their method of functioning.
KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVE
The program is specially designed for the capacity and skill
building enablement of the Internal Complaints Committee and
persons responsible for implementation of the Act.
METHODOLOGY
The instructional methods will be judicious mix of lectures,
PowerPoint presentation, case studies, role plays, exercises and
group discussion.
WHO WILL BENEFIT
The program will be immensely beneficial for HR professionals,
members of Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and persons
responsible for implementing of the Act.
