POSH Update
The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act, 2013, mandates that every organization with more than ten employees must establish an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) to investigate complaints of sexual harassment. The ICC ensures that all complaints are handled promptly and confidentially.
​
We're excited to share that we've teamed up with a new collaborator for our ICC this year. Joining us is Mr. Sandeep Nagarkar, a seasoned lawyer and certified POSH expert with over 18 years of corporate experience since 2011. His expertise will play a crucial role in ensuring the effective and fair operation of our ICC.
​
In our ongoing commitment to fostering a safe and respectful workplace, a mandatory Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) training session was conducted on January 9th. The session was led by Mr. Sandeep Nagarkar, an esteemed external member of our Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for POSH.
​
During the training, participants gained valuable insights into recognizing, preventing, and addressing instances of sexual harassment. Mr. Nagarkar’s expertise and engaging approach ensured that our team is well-equipped to create a supportive environment for all employees.
​
​We appreciate everyone’s active participation and commitment to upholding our organization’s values. Let's work together to maintain a safe and empowering workplace.

Leaves Policy:
Important Updates
As of January 1, 2024, we implemented some key changes to our leave program and its guidelines.
​
​Over the past year, we've noticed a trend where a significant number of employees tend to accumulate and use their vacation leaves primarily towards the end of the year. While we fully support taking well-deserved breaks, we'd like to encourage a more balanced distribution throughout the year. This would help us maintain consistent staffing levels and financial projections.
Vacation Balance
Vacation balance will now lapse every 6 months instead of 1 year.
You can carry forward up to seven (7) vacation days to the next 6-month cycle.
Sick Leaves
Three (3) sick leaves will be granted every 6 months and cannot be carried forward.

Compensatory Leaves
Compensatory leave credit requires project manager approval and will lapse in 6 weeks.
Important Guidelines
Tool Approvals: All leave requests must be approved by your Supervisor and HR on the Infohub tool.
Advance Notice
Leave requests of 3 days or more require 30-45 days' advance notice.
Leave Distribution
We encourage you to plan your leaves throughout the year to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

HR Disciplinary Action
Adherence to the leave process and guidelines is mandatory. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action.
Stakeholders Alignment
Ensure alignment with project/account managers before requesting leave.
Replacement
Please arrange for a backup Point of Contact (POC) and inform them of your responsibilities during your absence.
Informing Clients
Seek advance approval from clients through your delivery/project leads for any planned leaves.
