Gender Harassment Prevention Committee, aka Internal Complaints Committee (GHC/ICC)
The institution has constituted a Gender Harassment Prevention Committee, also known as the Internal Complaints Committee, to inquire into complaints of sexual harassment and address them fairly.
Reporting Mechanism
Any employee who believes they have been subjected to sexual harassment may file a complaint in writing to Internal. Complaints@smsimsr.org. Alternatively, the employee could reach out to any of the GHC/ICC members directly to record the complaint.
Protection of the Complainant
The hospital shall take all necessary steps to protect the complainant from any form of victimization or retaliation. The GHC/ICC shall maintain strict confidentiality throughout the investigation process.
By implementing this POSH policy, Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences & Research aims to create a workplace free from sexual harassment and promote a culture of respect and dignity.
