Pre-training needs assessment

Pre-training needs assessment — POSH awareness session

Before we run a session for your team, we ask for this. It takes about five minutes, and it decides the language the session is delivered in, the examples the trainer reaches for, and how much ground the session has to cover. A form filled in properly is the difference between a session your people recognise themselves in and a generic slide deck. Everything you enter is used for training design and nothing else.

Before you start

What your answers change

An awareness session under s.19 is not one fixed deck. The Act sets what has to be covered; it says nothing about the vocabulary, the examples, or the reading level — and those are what decide whether a room of machine operators and a room of account managers both leave able to use what they heard.

So the answers below are load-bearing. Participant mix sets the language and the register. Prior exposure sets the depth — a group trained last year does not need the same forty minutes as a group hearing it for the first time. Whether an Internal Committee already exists changes what we can tell participants about where a complaint actually goes. And knowing there has been past IC activity, with no detail at all, changes the tone a trainer takes into the room.

Answer what you know. A blank field is better than a guess, and not sure is a real answer we would rather have than an invented one.

On confidentiality

This form designs your session and does nothing else. We do not ask for the details of any complaint, the name of any person involved, or any record from an inquiry — and you should not send them here. The one question about past IC activity is answerable yes or no, and yes or no is all we want.

Handling is covered by our privacy notice, under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The form

Tell us about the session

Six short groups. Only the organisation, point of contact and email are required — everything else sharpens the session but will not block the form.

01 · Your organisation

Organisation name (required)

Point of contact (required)

Name and designation — whoever we should coordinate with.

Email (required)

Contact number

Proposed date(s) of training

A window is fine — “second half of March” tells us as much as a fixed date.

Number of batches planned

How many separate sittings the group will be split into.

Mode preferred

02 · Participant profile

Who are the participants?

Tick every group that will be in the room.

Blue collar White collar Management Support staff

Designation / level of participants

e.g. entry-level, senior management, mixed.

Department / function

e.g. Sales, Production, HR, Admin, Corporate.

Location / work environment

Factory floor, office, field, remote or WFH — or a mix.

Approximate gender and age mix

Approximate is fine — e.g. 60% M / 40% F, mostly 25–40 yrs.

Educational / background profile

e.g. graduates, diploma-holders, mixed literacy levels. This is the single biggest driver of how the session is pitched.

03 · Language and delivery preference

Preferred language for the session

Any specific regional language needed?

We deliver through our trainer network in Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia among others. Name it here and we will confirm availability for your dates.

04 · Prior POSH exposure

When was POSH training last conducted for this group?

A year is enough. “Never” and “not sure” are both useful answers.

How much POSH awareness already exists among participants?

Is there a functioning Internal Committee in place?

Any prior incidents, complaints or IC activity the trainer should be sensitive to?

Yes or no only — no specifics, no names, no dates. This calibrates the trainer’s tone and nothing else.

05 · Session focus

What is this session for?

Tick all that apply. Employee awareness and IC-member training are separate tracks — if you need both, say so here and we will scope them as two sessions.

Annual mandatory compliance New joinee onboarding IC member training

Any industry-specific scenarios needed?

e.g. factory floor dynamics, client-facing roles, field sales, night shifts.

Any topics to avoid or handle with special sensitivity?

Naming the area is enough — no detail needed.

06 · Logistics

Venue / platform details

In-person: the address. Virtual: the platform you use, and who will host the call.

AV / equipment available on-site

Projector, mic, screen-share, seating. Tell us what is not available too.

Any other requirements or expectations from the trainer

Required · I consent to Talent Crafters processing the details above solely to design and deliver this training session, in line with the privacy notice, under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

After you send it

What happens next

We read it and come back within one working day with the session outline, the language and trainer we propose, and confirmation that your dates work. If anything in your answers changes the scope — a regional language we need to source for, or a second batch for IC members — we raise it then, rather than on the day.

If you would rather talk it through first, contact us and we will fill this in with you. Fee ranges for both training tracks are published at pricing.
