Dear members,
In today’s Times of India, there is a heart-chilling news. The link of the news is as below:
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...w/67186860.cms
What has happened in Genpact can happen in any other company as well. The news is a good case study for the HR Professionals, POSH committee members, the trainers who conduct training programmes on POSH etc.
The news item throws one question. On receipt of the complaint of sexual harassment, should the accused be suspended till the completion of the enquiry? Whatever legal nuances to this question could be, the news item makes it clear that if the accused is innocent then how it becomes difficult for him to face the other staff members. While accused may get acquitted, suspicion in the minds of the other staff members cannot be erased.
Instances like this have potential to create a gender divide and that is the last thing to expect to those who are concerned about the organisation’s culture!
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
