Mumbai, 23rd December 2024: Kelp, India’s pioneers in creating safe workplaces, is proud to unveil the winners of the Kelp PoSH Awards® 2024 – Recognising India’s Top 25 Safest Workplaces. This prestigious accolade celebrates organisations that excel in fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful work environment by effectively implementing the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) Act.
The PoSH Act, established in 2013, requires all organisations to implement a strong framework for preventing and addressing sexual harassment in the workplace. It stresses the need for Internal Committees (ICs), employee awareness programs, and zero-tolerance policies to maintain a safe working environment. In this context, Kelp’s POSH Awards® recognise organisations that lead in compliance, cultural transformation, and celebrates their dedication to creating workplaces where employees feel respected and secure.
Smita Shetty Kapoor, CEO and Co-founder of Kelp highlighted the significance of these awards by stating, “The Kelp PoSH Awards® 2024 recognise organisations that excel in creating workplaces built on trust and respect. These companies demonstrate that safety goes beyond merely meeting legal obligations; it involves fostering a culture where every individual is treated with dignity. The winners of this year’s awards are pioneers in workplace safety and inclusivity, setting a high standard for others to aspire to.”
ABC Consultants, PoSH Awards Winners, MD Shiv Agarwal, remarked, “Yes, policies are there, we have 24/7 confidential counselling services, employee assistance programs, awareness programs.. but I would like to say that it’s the spirit behind it that really distinguishes us. I don’t think culture and safety is the responsibility of HR. It is the responsibility of everyone, especially the leaders. And this is an award that has a special place for us. We are a very diverse organization.. and it’s just mission critical for us to have this
Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE), PoSH Award Torchbearers, Nidhi Mehandiratta -CHRO said, “This prestigious recognition reflects our continued efforts to maintain robust practices, policies, and strategies that foster a safe, secure, and inclusive environment. It underscores our unwavering commitment to building a culture of safety and support, enabling employees to grow and thrive confidently. Being honored for the third consecutive year is a testament to the safe workplace culture we have nurtured, ensuring that every employee feels valued and protected.”
