What questions should a POSH awareness quiz ask?

A good POSH awareness quiz checks that employees know what counts as sexual harassment at work, how to raise a complaint and what the Internal Committee does. This template has 10 questions with answers on India's Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013: which employers must set up an Internal Committee, who presides over it and why it includes an external member, the time limit for complaints, the 90-day inquiry, what the Act means by a workplace, and who can complain on someone's behalf. It also includes a scenario to discuss. Use it in induction, as an annual refresher or after a workshop. In QG Playground, run it live in the session, or schedule it with an open and close date so everyone takes it in their own time and you keep a record of results. Have your Internal Committee review the questions against your own policy first.
