Under the regulations framed by Sebi, all listed companies need to disclose the total number of sexual harassment complaints at the end of a financial year. The number of reported complaints are mostly higher at IT companies, as compared to the firms from other sectors. IT blue-chip Infosys said it has institutionalised the anti sexual harassment initiative framework, through which it addresses complaints of sexual harassment at workplace. “We have also constituted an internal committee in all locations across India to consider and address sexual harassment complaints in accordance with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013,” Infosys said. Kotak Mahindra Bank said any complaint pertaining to sexual harassment is diligently reviewed and investigated and treated with great sensitivity at the company.
