PoSH compliance is an ongoing organizational responsibility. It extends beyond policy implementation and requires continuous awareness, effective Internal Committee functioning, proper documentation, and periodic review of workplace practices.
PACE partners with organizations to strengthen their annual PoSH compliance framework through practical guidance, capability building, and structured compliance support.
Annual compliance demonstrates an organization's commitment to maintaining a safe, respectful, and legally compliant workplace.
A structured compliance programme helps organizations:
Compliance should be viewed as an ongoing governance process rather than a yearly administrative exercise.

PACE supports organizations through:
Our approach focuses on building sustainable compliance systems that integrate with your organization's culture and operations.
A structured annual compliance calendar helps organizations stay proactive.
Typical activities may include:
| Quarter | Suggested Activities |
|---|---|
| Q1 | Review PoSH Policy, verify Internal Committee composition, plan annual awareness calendar. |
| Q2 | Conduct employee awareness programmes and IC refresher training. |
| Q3 | Review complaint handling procedures, documentation practices, and awareness effectiveness. |
| Q4 | Review annual activities, update records, prepare applicable reports, and plan improvements for the following year. |
The above is an indicative framework. Organizations should adapt their compliance calendar to their operational and legal requirements.

Organizations with the strongest workplace cultures do not treat PoSH compliance as an annual checklist. They integrate awareness, leadership commitment, policy review, and Internal Committee capability into their regular business processes, creating workplaces built on trust and respect.
Regular awareness programmes and periodic Internal Committee training help ensure that workplace policies remain meaningful, employees stay informed, and organizational processes continue to evolve with changing workplace needs.
Annual compliance obligations may vary depending on the nature, size, and structure of an organization. Employers should review their specific obligations under applicable laws and ensure that compliance activities are aligned with their operational requirements.
