ABSTRACT
The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act and the landmark Vishaka Judgment were established to combat sexual harassment in the workplace, particularly targeting the protection of women. The POSH Act mandates the formation of Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) in companies with more than ten employees to address complaints confidentially and promptly. This paper focuses on assessing awareness levels of the anti-sexual harassment policy and procedures within a selected hospital. A questionnaire was distributed among hospital employees to gauge their understanding of the policy. The anticipated outcome of this research includes the enhancement of existing policies, the development of new ones, and the improvement of awareness through various communication channels. Through this study, efforts are directed towards creating a safer and more respectful workplace environment for all employees, in alignment with the provisions of the POSH Act and the Vishaka Judgment. The analysis also includes employee data from women employees within a store, identifying unique factors affecting each employee and gaining a deep understanding of harassment in the retail sector. This sector faces a challenge in retaining the tacit knowledge held by experienced employees, making it crucial to address harassment to preserve and transmit this knowledge for sustaining competitiveness. The study, conducted on Reliance Retail Limited, used the U- test, t-test, correlation, and ANOVA, with a sample size of 200 respondents selected based on practical considerations, available resources, and time constraints, employing convenient sampling.
