Kelp (formerly KelpHR)

In our line of work, we have returning clients who have robust and thorough policies which we nevertheless review and vet every two years, to ensure that there is legal validity and to add any relevant clarifying verbiage. Here are some of the compelling reasons behind the need to regularly refresh sexual harassment prevention policies, aligning them with shifting customs, legal advancements, industry best practices, and organizational values, while recognizing their role in adapting to generational shifts. https://lnkd.in/dnqJFbGT At Kelp we can advise you on policy creation, review as well as compliance to the Sexual harassment of Women at Workplaces Act 2013 as mandated by the law.

Lately, we've noticed a set of reels and reactions from people who attend PoSH trainings but don't seem to grasp their essence and end up mocking them. There are also some myths surrounding trainings which we'd like to debunk. As most of you are aware, it is mandated by the law for companies to conduct these trainings. However, some organisations are still confused on determining the number of necessary trainings and identifying the appropriate attendees. This is where our latest Kelp webinar, presented in partnership with the Indian Lawyers Association, comes into play. Our panelists VANDANA DV (She/Her) Arockia Selvi Arockiam moderated by our CEO & Co-founder Smita C Kapoor will be discussing various aspects of workplace safety, focusing on whether PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) trainings are obligatory, essential, or considered a luxury in today's professional environment. Join us for the webinar: Date: May 23, 2024 Time: 4-5 pm (IST) Register here: https://bit.ly/4ba0Wu6 For any questions regarding our PoSH offerings, you can connect with us at info@kelphr.com, +91-9500129652, visit www.kelphr.com #poshact #poshlaw #poshcompliance #ILA #Kelp #Indianlaws #poshtraining

The Calcutta High Court recently noted that in certain social circles, terms like 'Sweety' and 'Baby' are commonly used to address women, and such usage doesn’t necessarily imply a sexual connotation. However, in the same judgment, the Court also cautioned against potential misuse of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Woman at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act (POSH Act), highlighting that misuse could inadvertently reinforce existing barriers for women in the workplace. While we acknowledge the perspective of the Calcutta High Court on this matter, we respectfully hold a different view. Here are some words we feel should be used wisely and mindfully especially when at the workplace. Let us know if there are anymore such words you think must be used wisely at the workplace. #poshact #poshlaw #poshcompliance #Kelp #KelpHR #Poshtraining #poshelearning #sexualharassment #metoo

"The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued an advisory regarding the proper implementation of the Sexual Harassment at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, Redressal) Act 2013 (PoSH Act 2013). It said that all Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) have been instructed to constitute an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and a Special/Women’s Cell under their administrative control to deal with gender-based violence and conduct gender sensitisation programmes. The commission has also asked the institutes to display banners and posters at visible places, names and contacts of members of ICCs on display boards and portals, and Women’s Helpline Number and Emergency Support Number 112 for ease of access to women in distress." https://lnkd.in/gtXfcRHm Source: The Education Times #poshact #poshtraining #poshcompliance #Kelp #poshelearning #elearning #poshlaw #UGC #India

“Some organisations embrace PoSH compliance as a genuine commitment, driven by a belief in its importance and a desire to create a respectful work environment. However, there are those who treat it merely as a checkbox for compliance. The organisation’s culture and leadership play a significant role in determining it’s approach to PoSH compliance," says Kelp Co-founder and CEO Smita C Kapoor in her conversation with HRKatha https://lnkd.in/gM7xrrhM For more on how Kelp can help you set up a robust PoSH compliance methodology, reach out to us at +91-9500129652, email info@kelphr.com, visit www.kelphr.com #poshact #poshawareness #poshlaw #poshtraining #Kelp #KelpHR #poshcompliance #elearning #elearningsolutions #training #onsitetraining

 "Close to 60 to 70 million people in India suffer from common and severe mental disorders. It is alarming to know that India is the world's suicide capital with over 2.6 lakh cases of suicide in a year," as per an article in the The Economic Times from October 2023 which quoted WHO research. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and while it has taken a pandemic to bring mental health issues to the forefront we hope that it has also reduced the stigma in asking for help when one needs it. Asking for help and talking about mental health will get you the help you need and not increase its diagnosis. At Kelp we have experts on board to deal with mental health support, through our Counselling and Employee Assistance Programs.
