Workplace Harassment Problem Nobody Talks About. POSH Act Explained ft.

Описание: 5–6% of women in Indian workplaces face harassment. Only 0.1% ever report it. That gap isn't a data point. It's a crisis and most organizations don't even know it's happening inside them. In this episode of Dexian Talks, Viji Hari — CEO of CecureUs, POSH expert, and TEDx speaker, shares what 10+ years of real workplace cases have taught her.

In this episode of Dexian Talks, we sit down with Viji Hari, CEO & Co-founder of CecureUs, POSH expert, author, and TEDx speaker, for a deeply insightful conversation that goes beyond policies and into the realities of workplace culture in India.

What begins as a discussion on the evolution of the POSH Act quickly unfolds into something more powerful, a candid look at the gap between what organizations believe and what employees actually experience. Drawing from years of hands-on experience and hundreds of real workplace cases, Viji brings forward perspectives that are rarely spoken about openly.

She sheds light on why many incidents go unreported, what truly prevents employees from speaking up, and how the smallest moments of inaction can grow into larger organizational risks. The conversation also highlights a critical truth on safe workplaces are not built by policies alone, but by the everyday actions and accountability of leaders.

As the discussion progresses, it explores how compliance plays a crucial role not just in meeting legal requirements, but in protecting both people and brand reputation. It also touches upon the unique position India holds today, especially in the context of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), and what global organizations must understand when building teams here.

More importantly, this episode reinforces a simple yet powerful idea: prevention is always more effective than reaction. Creating awareness, encouraging open dialogue, and fostering trust are not optional, they are essential.

Whether you're a business leader, HR professional, or part of a growing organization, this conversation offers a grounded and practical perspective on what it truly takes to build workplaces rooted in trust, accountability, and respect.
