Apparel Training and Design Center’s (ATDC) female employees were greeted with flowers and goodies on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March eight. ATDC, India’s largest vocational training provider also organized a workshop on ‘Sexual Harassment of Women’ at workplace- Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal, an act that came into being in 2013.
The centre has constituted its very own Internal Complaints Committee, headed by a Sr. lady officer, so that complaints of harassment of any kind at workplace can be looked into and redressed according to guidelines set by the Supreme Court. Seminars, cultural events along with dialogue-based workshops marked the eventful day. Suggestions were invited from all employees to ensure that ATDC can continue providing a conducive workplace environment to all its employees.
ATDC has for long been proactively engaging with its pan-Indian women workforce at ATDC’s 176 centers across India. In fact, more than 80 per cent of ATDC’s workforce comprises women. All important positions and profiles in academics, finance, project implementation and administration at ATDC are being chaired by women. Moreover, ATDC has also made arrangements to make its premises differently-abled-friendly. ATDC ensures that special training required in such cases is taken care of with utmost diligence on the management’s part, a release said.
