The Kelp PoSH Awards^® 2024 is a marquee event instituted by GoKelp HR Services Pvt Ltd. (Kelp) in the Indian corporate landscape for honouring and felicitating best practices in PoSH, based on the Sexual Harassment of Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act 2013. The objective behind instituting this award was to recognise not only the ones with best practices, but also to create an environment where organisations aspire to be a part of the top league in creating safe workplaces.

This year, we will recognize and honour 25 Safest Workplaces in India from organisations who aspire to be one of the safest places to work in India.

If you are an entity in active existence and registered with any regulatory authority under the Government of India, you can apply for the Kelp PoSH Awards^® 2024. This includes registered companies, partnership firms, limited liability partnerships, registered societies and trusts.

An authorized employee or representative can apply on behalf of the organization with the relevant details and documentation.

Any entity from a group or the parent company can apply for Kelp PoSH Awards^® 2024. You can decide whether to apply with one entry representing the parent company or as specific separate entities.
