At EBS Consultancy Group, our POSH Policy Review and Audit Services are a key component of our Government Relations and POSH Governance portfolio. We help organizations ensure that their POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) policies are not only compliant with legal mandates but are also effectively implemented, periodically reviewed, and aligned with industry best practices.

Our comprehensive audit approach goes beyond statutory checklists. We evaluate the practicality, responsiveness, and legal soundness of existing POSH frameworks to help you build trust, mitigate risk, and strengthen your regulatory reputation.

Our Methodology Covers:

• Detailed review of current POSH policies against evolving legal, sectoral, and governance benchmarks
• Evaluation of reporting mechanisms, redressal protocols, and internal committee (IC) effectiveness
• Identification of gaps in documentation, policy execution, and compliance communication
• Strategic recommendations for policy enhancement and regulatory alignment
• Integration of POSH data into ESG, DEI, CSR, and board governance structures

Core Review & Audit Objectives

• Ensure alignment with the POSH Act, 2013, and subsequent amendments or judicial directives
• Detect procedural and structural gaps that could compromise legal defensibility
• Strengthen integration of POSH norms across HR, ethics, grievance redressal, and whistleblower systems
• Promote transparent, traceable, and responsible governance in workplace conduct
• Help position your organization as a compliance-conscious and values-driven employer

Why POSH Audits are Crucial for Regulatory Brand Building

Regular reviews and third-party audits of POSH frameworks are essential in today’s compliance-centric environment. A robust, well-audited POSH policy:

• Demonstrates your organization’s ongoing legal and ethical commitment
• Supports ESG/CSR alignment and audit readiness for SEBI, Board, or investor scrutiny
• Minimizes exposure to regulatory penalties, litigation, or reputational damage
• Reinforces your commitment to gender justice, workplace dignity, and governance excellence
