Five questions to find out if your POSH system is protecting employees or just checking boxes.
If your POSH compliance exists on paper but not in practice, this check will surface it.
Can every employee name the Internal Complaints Committee members? If not, your ICC is a regulatory checkbox, not a resource.
Was your last POSH training interactive with real scenarios, or a click-through module people completed while checking email?
If an employee wanted to file a complaint today, how many steps would it take? If more than three, the process itself is a barrier.
What happened to the last person who filed a complaint? Were they transferred, isolated or restructured out? If yes, your POSH system is a mirage.
In the last twelve months, has leadership publicly addressed POSH compliance in a way that felt genuine, not a legal disclaimer email?
0 to 1 red flags: your POSH system is functioning. Keep monitoring.
2 to 3 red flags: your POSH system has gaps that will surface during a crisis. A POSH gap audit will identify them.
4 to 5 red flags: your POSH system exists on paper but not in practice. You need a diagnostic investigation immediately.
