What Happens After a POSH Complaint? Pt. 2 | Ep. 5| Tahini Bhushan | Ankita Mudel |The Quiet Stories

🎙️ POSH Podcast | Part 2: Challenges, Complaints & The Reality Behind the Law Understanding the POSH Act is important. But understanding what happens when someone decides to speak up is equally important. In Part 2 of this conversation, we move beyond definitions and policies to discuss the realities, challenges, and grey areas surrounding workplace harassment and the POSH framework. Why do so many cases go unreported? What prevents employees from raising their voice, especially when the alleged harasser holds a position of power? How does the complaint process work in practice, and how confidential is it really? What is SHe-Box? We also explore difficult but necessary conversations around anonymous complaints, false complaints, “he said/she said” situations, and the challenges organisations face while balancing fairness, sensitivity, and compliance. Our guest, Advocate and POSH Trainer - TAHINI BHUSHAN shares valuable insights on workplace culture, reporting mechanisms, employee rights, and the steps organisation can take to build safer and more respectful workplaces. This episode is not just for HR professionals or business leaders. It is for every employee, manager, founder, and professional who wants to better understand workplace safety and the systems designed to protect it. Because creating safer workplaces starts with awareness, trust, and the courage to have difficult conversations. 00:00 Highlights 01:25 Why Part 2 Matters 01:43 TCS Case: Did HR Fail? 05:13 Ignoring POSH Complaints 07:30 Too Late to Report? 08:55 Why Timing Matters 09:51 Reporting for Someone Else 11:18 The Unexpected Witness 12:57 SheBox Explained 14:14 Do Companies Really Care? 15:36 POSH Training Gaps 17:42 When the Accused Is a Star Performer or Owner 19:24 From ICC to Court 20:32 False Complaints: Reality Check 21:37 The Genpact Case 22:34 Powers of the ICC 23:47 Motherhood & Workplace Bias 26:20 Hidden Bias Against Women 27:25 Fixing Workplace Culture 29:17 A Real POSH Case 31:17 Intent vs Impact 33:24 The Future of POSH #thequietstories #posh #poshpodcast #speakup #workplacesafety #workplacesafety #womenatwork #womensafety #womenempowerment #women #complaint #complaintportal #hr #humanresources #corporatelife #corporateculture #management #icc #employeerights #respectatwork #indianpodcast #tahinibhushan #podcast #boundariesmatter #compliance #training #poshtraining #awareness #harassmentlaws #harassmentprevention #hrprofessionals #humanresourcemanagement
