About this listen
In this powerful and timely episode, hosts Jayaprada and Anita break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in workplace behaviour — consent.
From subtle gestures to digital interactions, they explore how everyday actions can impact comfort, safety, and professionalism in modern workplaces.
The episode dives deep into:
🔹 What consent truly means — beyond just “yes” or “no”
🔹 Why intent doesn’t matter as much as impact under POSH
🔹 How silence, hesitation, or discomfort often signal a lack of consent
🔹 Real-world workplace scenarios involving compliments, jokes, after-hours texting, and physical gestures
🔹 Digital consent — memes, tags, DMs, emojis, and the blurry lines of online communication
🔹 Why Gen Z and Millennials often misunderstand consent due to informal, always-online culture
🔹 Practical ways to practise consent at work: from reading cues to respecting boundaries
🔹 Common myths about consent and what POSH truly says about them
This episode is packed with clarity, examples, and expert insights to help employees, managers, HR teams, and leaders build safe, respectful, and consent-driven workplaces.
Whether you’re navigating hybrid work, mentoring Gen Z teams, or simply looking to strengthen professional boundaries, this conversation is a must-listen.
Tune in now to learn how a simple pause, a mindful check-in, and an awareness of boundaries can transform workplace culture.
