Organizations, from large corporations to small businesses and educational institutions, are broadening their efforts to raise awareness of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (POSH) law. They are targeting blue-collar workers and third-party staff. Many companies like Complykaro, SamānaCentre, and Rainmaker, which advise on POSH compliance, have reported a 100-150% increase in sessions for these workers.
