POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment)

Sexual harassment is one of the most important areas where organizations are vulnerable – financially, ethically and in terms of their brand. Indian Law mandates Prevention of Sexual Harassment training for all employees. It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that employees are trained on what constitutes harassment, the do’s and don’ts of employee behavior and the recourse provided in case of harassment. Training on POSH also reinforces the importance of inclusion and empowers everyone on board to identify and respond to discriminatory behavior before it can take root or cause further issues.

Subconscious Biases

“Your subconscious mind is 30,000 times more powerful than your conscious mind”. The biases we carry as colleagues, recruiters, managers reflect in our decisions towards those who may be different from us. As successful organizations, the impact on business can be immense and long lasting. The first step in any such training is the acceptance of having these biases and the awareness thereof. Our program has been designed by psychologists, coaches, diversity experts to bring you a concrete, multistep format around working on the subconscious biases and their linkage to business decisions.

Recruiter and Interviewer Training

Studies involving hiring managers have reported that they commonly looked for someone like themselves in interviews. Replicating ourselves in hiring contributes to the prevalent gender segregation of jobs, with, for example, male bankers hiring more male bankers and female teachers hiring more female teachers. Vividhta has designed a training program for Interviewers and managers helping them to interview without prejudices. Our approach is to design certain specific interventions that will help ensure that the interviewer can minimize his/her hiring biases.
