ONGC becomes first PSU to sensitise staff on gender issues at workplace

NEW DELHI: Flagship explorer ONGC has become the first public sector entity to launch a gender sensitisation programme to train executives on preventing sexual harassment at workplace.
The programme will inculcate a sense of responsibility and professional ethics needed for discharging duties more professionally and efficiently.
ONGC has launched a unique portal on Gender sensitisation to impart training on prevention of sexual harassment (PoSH) at workplace. ONGC is the first Public Sector Enterprise to have taken this initiative to buttress the act of the government related to (PoSH). 
 
Launching the portal Mr. D D Misra, Director HR, said the initiative was conceptualized to provide protection against sexual harassment at work place and for prevention and redressal of complaints of such issues. This apart, the training will help inculcate a great sense of responsibility and professional ethics, required to discharge duties more efficiently, he added. 
 
The initiative, which is the brainchild of Director HR, aims at covering over 3000 senior officers at the level of Deputy General Manager and above in the first phase. The project, which has been implemented by premier institute ONGC Academy, will have a complete roll out over a period of one year to sensitize all the employees of the company.
