In the last 4 years, the confluence of the Act along with several external factors has nudged companies to consider sexual harassment (SH) at the workplace with the seriousness it merits. Some organizations are going beyond what is mandated to identify ingenious ways for handling the issue of SH plaguing women at the workplace.
