SAFE PLACE TO WORK SURVEY 2020
Rainmaker has always aimed to make your organization a Safe Place To Work (SPTW). Based on predetermined criteria, we provides a score to the participating organizations.
"Safe Places To Work is aimed to be a nation-wide survey with a mission to foster a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace for all."
Post Survey Report
Rainmaker, based on predetermined criteria, will provide a score to the participating organizations. The Top Safe Places To Work List shall be made public. In the event your organization is not in the Top List, you shall receive a report (to be disclosed only to you), which will contain an overall score for your organization. We will provide you this report two weeks (15 working days) after the survey has been completed. Each participating organization will receive a confidential & comprehensive report of their employee’s survey responses. The survey data will assist employers in developing strategies targeted at addressing specific issues. For instance, a particular vertical/business unit’s women employees have lesser awareness than other verticals/business units, or women employees of a particular age-group have more complaints than other age-groups. We can also provide organizations our support to develop more targeted interventions to prevent Sexual Harassment, meet legal obligations and change the workplace culture. The aim is to make your organization a Safe Place To Work. This report will be complimentary and completely confidential. Later, a study (Master Report) would be published to communicate the Aggregate survey findings and the Top Safe Places To Work List with insights on what makes them Safe. This Master Report would highlight results that are of statistical and practical significance.
What is the safe space to work survey?
The survey evaluates organisations on the degree of safety and inclusiveness they promote for female employees as a response to PoSH. The first survey conducted in 2019 garnered responses from 5682 working women from close to 50 organisations.
01. Aim
- The survey aims to evaluate Indian employers on the degree of safety they provide to their women employees – safety from Sexual Harassment. We will conduct a free health-check for participating organizations from different industry sectors and geographies through the survey.
- Sexual Harassment of women at the workplace has been a significant concern for organizations globally and nationally. While the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (“PoSH Act”), was enacted to provide women a Safe Place To Work, India has witnessed a rise in the number of Sexual Harassment complaints. Empowered by the PoSH Act, we have also seen a surge in High Courts, Local Committees & Internal Committees sentencing and granting awards compensation to the victim. Stats show an increase in the number of reported cases, probably because women’s’ voices are finally getting heard across social media platforms due to the powerful #MeToo revolution. Companies are slowly and steadily adopting the PoSH mandate and carrying out “health-checks” or “climate-checks” in a pre-emptive manner.
02. The Need
- The PoSH Act Mandates Indian employers to provide Women a Safe Place To Work.
- A mechanism for evaluating if the spend on compliance reduces women’s concerns and increases their comfort level.
- Women’s safety leads to higher engagement and performance, which in turn leads to productivity and innovation, resulting in business growth.
- A Safe Place To Work attracts and retains talent, reduces the attrition rate, reduces absenteeism, and builds an environment of Trust and Collaboration.
- Customer satisfaction will be high when employee satisfaction is high.
- A single case that is poorly handled can destroy a company’s brand and image.
