The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, imposes a duty on the employer to organize workshops, awareness, and training programs at regular intervals for sensitizing the employees with the provisions of the Act. This training is a legal mandate, the failure of which will lead to a penalty which may extend to Fifty Thousand rupees (?50,000).
