The journey

How the program builds

Most POSH programs fail due to tick-box training, weak Internal Complaints Committee capability, and poor documentation. This program focuses on legal defensibility, ethical handling, and real-world cases, not just awareness slides. It covers mandatory employee awareness and advanced Train-the-Trainer certification for ICC, HR, and internal trainers.
