Sexual Harassment Policy
Work should be a place where you can disagree, collaborate, and be yourself without being made uncomfortable or feeling unsafe.
Frappe has a Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Policy to prevent and address sexual harassment at work. Our policy is gender neutral and applies to everyone, including employees, interns, trainees, consultants, and contractual staff.
What does this mean?
Sexual harassment is not limited to physical behaviour. It can include unwelcome physical contact or advances, requests for sexual favours, sexually coloured remarks, showing offensive or sexual material, or any other unwelcome verbal or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature. This also includes sexual conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
And the workplace does not just mean the office. This applies to virtual interactions, work from home, off-site meetings, company activities and work-related social or business events too.
What do I do if something happens?
You can approach any member of our Internal Committee (IC) over email or chat. The IC is responsible for receiving complaints and conducting an inquiry.
- Michelle Alva (Frappe)
- Prakash Hodage (Frappe)
- Harminder Kaur Cheema (external member not from Frappe)
Please note, we are in the process of restructuring our POSH committee. Once done, the members will be updated.
If your complaint is against one of the committee members, you can approach another member. The person the complaint is against will not be part of the proceedings.
Complaints and proceedings are confidential, including the identities of the people involved and information shared during the process.
This is just the TLDR. Read the complete policy here for the complaint process, timelines and other details.
