POSH Compliance & Awareness Training for Solar Manufacturing

End-to-End POSH Compliance for a Leading Solar Manufacturing Organization

A globally recognized MNC in the solar manufacturing sector had recently established a new manufacturing facility in Nagpur and required a structured approach to building POSH awareness and strengthening workplace compliance.

With more than 1,500 employees, predominantly comprising blue-collar workers, the organization needed an employee awareness program that could effectively communicate POSH requirements across a diverse manufacturing workforce.

The Client Context

The client is part of a globally recognized MNC operating in the solar manufacturing sector and had recently established a new manufacturing facility in Nagpur.

As the new facility expanded its workforce, creating awareness around POSH requirements became an important part of establishing a safe and respectful workplace culture.

The engagement covered POSH awareness training for more than 1,500 employees, predominantly blue-collar workers, along with External Member services for the Internal Committee (IC).

Given the scale and diversity of the workforce, the organization required an approach that was accessible, practical, and relevant to employees working in a manufacturing environment.

The Organizational Challenge

The organization faced several challenges in creating effective POSH awareness and strengthening compliance across its large manufacturing workforce.

1. Creating Awareness Across a Large Manufacturing Workforce

With more than 1,500 employees, predominantly blue-collar workers, the organization needed an awareness program that could effectively communicate POSH concepts to employees with varied backgrounds, roles, and levels of familiarity with workplace policies.

2. Language & Accessibility Requirements

To ensure employees could understand and actively participate in the sessions, the training content needed to be customized and localized in Marathi and Hindi, in addition to addressing the practical realities of the manufacturing workplace.

3. Building Awareness Around Respectful Workplace Practices

With a diverse workforce comprising male and female employees, there was a need to reinforce awareness around appropriate workplace conduct, employee rights and responsibilities, prevention of sexual harassment, and mechanisms for raising concerns.

4. Evolving Client Requirements

As the engagement progressed, the client's expectations and organizational requirements evolved. Multiple iterations of the project proposal were therefore required to refine the scope and align the engagement approach with the client's needs.

Our Approach

PMI adopted a workforce-focused and practical approach to POSH awareness, combining customized training, regional language localization, interactive activities, and Internal Committee support.

The engagement focused on making POSH concepts accessible to employees while strengthening the organization's broader compliance and governance framework.

Customized POSH Awareness Training

PMI designed and delivered in-person POSH awareness sessions specifically tailored to the requirements of a manufacturing workforce.
The sessions focused on practical understanding of:
• POSH requirements
• Workplace conduct
• Employee rights and responsibilities
• Prevention of sexual harassment
• Appropriate workplace behavior
• Reporting and grievance mechanisms
• Role of the Internal Committee

The training approach was designed to encourage employee participation rather than relying solely on policy-based communication.

Localized Training in Marathi & Hindi

Recognizing the linguistic diversity of the workforce, PMI localized the training content into Marathi and Hindi.
The sessions incorporated:
• Easy-to-understand language
• Interactive activities
• Practical workplace scenarios
• Contextual examples
• Employee participation and discussions

This helped make POSH concepts more accessible and relevant to employees across the manufacturing facility.

Large-Scale Employee Training

PMI conducted multiple training sessions covering more than 1,500 employees across the newly established manufacturing facility.
The scale of the engagement required a structured delivery approach to ensure consistent communication of POSH concepts across different employee groups.
The training emphasized practical awareness and understanding, helping employees connect POSH requirements with everyday workplace interactions.

Internal Committee & External Member Support

Alongside employee awareness, PMI provided External Member services to the Internal Committee (IC).
The External Member support contributed to:
• Strengthening POSH governance
• Supporting statutory compliance
• Providing external expertise to the IC
• Strengthening grievance redressal mechanisms
• Supporting the organization's ongoing POSH framework

This provided the organization with access to external POSH expertise while strengthening the functioning of its Internal Committee.

Collaborative Engagement with the Client

PMI worked closely with the client's HR team throughout the engagement.
The collaboration included refining the engagement approach, incorporating evolving organizational requirements, and customizing the solution to suit the client's workforce and workplace environment.
This ensured that the final approach remained aligned with the organization's expectations while addressing the practical challenges of implementing POSH awareness across a large manufacturing workforce.

POSH Assessment → Customized Policy → Employee Awareness → Multilingual Training → Internal Committee Support → Ongoing Compliance

This enables organizations to move beyond policy documentation and build greater awareness of respectful workplace practices across their workforce.
