International Women’s Day presented an opportunity for Kothari Hyundai to go beyond celebration and invest in creating greater awareness around workplace safety, dignity, and legal rights for its women employees. While many organisations conduct Women’s Day events centred around motivation or wellness, the leadership wanted to ensure the occasion also strengthened employees’ understanding of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act and encouraged a culture where women felt informed, confident, and supported.

The Approach

SafeGen designed an interactive employee sensitisation session tailored exclusively for women employees, creating a comfortable environment that encouraged open participation and discussion. Rather than focusing solely on the legal provisions of the POSH Act, the session addressed practical workplace situations women commonly encounter but often hesitate to identify or report.

The discussion covered:

• Understanding what constitutes sexual harassment under the POSH Act.
• Differentiating acceptable workplace behaviour from inappropriate conduct.
• Rights and responsibilities of women employees.
• The role and functioning of the Internal Committee.
• Steps involved in reporting concerns and maintaining confidentiality.
• Building confidence to speak up and support colleagues while fostering a respectful workplace culture.

Real-life workplace scenarios, interactive conversations, and myth-versus-fact discussions helped participants relate the legal framework to everyday workplace experiences.

The Outcome

The Women’s Day session witnessed active participation from approximately 100 women employees, with several participants engaging in meaningful discussions and seeking clarity on practical workplace situations. The programme successfully transformed the occasion into an opportunity for awareness, empowerment, and legal literacy, reinforcing Kothari Hyundai’s commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace.

The session demonstrated how awareness initiatives, when delivered in an open and engaging format, can encourage employees to recognise inappropriate behaviour early and understand the mechanisms available for redressal under the POSH Act.
