Coaching centres and training institutes are often overlooked when it comes to workplace safety. Yet teachers, counsellors and staff are fully protected under the POSH Act, 2013. Learn why your coaching institute needs a POSH policy, when an Internal Committee is mandatory, and how Nawal Foundation helps institutes build safer, compliant workplaces.
Does Your Coaching Institute Need POSH Compliance?
When we think about workplace safety, coaching centres and training institutes are often overlooked.
However, teachers, counsellors, administrative staff, receptionists and other employees working in coaching institutes are also entitled to protection under the POSH Act, 2013.
This applies to competitive examination coaching centres, language institutes, computer training centres, vocational institutes and other educational establishments.
- Does your institute have a POSH policy?
- Are your teachers and staff aware of what constitutes workplace sexual harassment?
An institute with 10 or more employees must constitute an Internal Committee. Appropriate awareness and prevention measures are important for institutions of every size. Today the coaching centres are a professionally run institutions with a massive workforce. They have great number of students attending the classes from morning till evening. Apart from the regular students and teaching and non- teaching staff these ecntres also experience walk in customers and hence this poses a great threat to a sound workplace atmosphere.
Nawal Foundation helps coaching centres develop safer working environments through staff awareness programmes, management sensitisation and POSH compliance support.
An institution that prepares students for the future must also protect the people who teach them.
Connect with Nawal Foundation for POSH awareness and compliance guidance.
