Beyond Compliance: POSH Needs Cultural Shift, Says Singh

Rashmi Singh’s powerful address at the POSH Conclave on July 11, 2025, underscored the need for a paradigm shift in corporate India’s approach to workplace safety. She stressed that mere legal compliance is insufficient.

Singh advocated for a holistic approach, emphasizing the creation of genuinely safe and gender-sensitive environments. This includes proactive policies and early POSH education initiatives.

She highlighted significant hurdles to women’s empowerment, citing both cultural norms and infrastructural limitations as major obstacles.

While acknowledging improvements in corporate India’s commitment to workplace safety, Singh’s call for a cultural overhaul resonates deeply. The nation’s progress towards gender equality hinges on addressing these deep-rooted societal issues, ensuring a truly inclusive and empowering workplace for all women.
