GUIDELINES FOR EMPLOYERS ON PREVENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT THE WORKPLACE

As per the VISHAKA Judgement of the Supreme Court in 1997, it is mandatory for all government and private sector organizations, hospitals universities, as well as the unorganized sector to institute specific conduct rules and preventive measures to eliminate sexual harassment at the workplace.

The Employers should:

1. Set up a Sexual Harassment Complaints Committee which
   • is headed by a woman
   • has a minimum of 50% women members
   • has at least one outside member who is familiar with the issue
     
     
2. Make the employees aware by
   • widely publicizing the guidelines
   • awareness workshops
   • Complaint Committee’s members’ names, addresses and contact numbers prominently displayed
     
     
3. Amend conduct rules to prohibit sexual harassment.
   
   
4. Ensure that no employee has any grounds to believe that s/he is disadvantaged in connection with the employment if s/he complains about sexual harassment.
