The Things We Don’t Say About Safety at Work | Adv. Heena Khurana Nagpal | TEDxGADVASU
Adv. Heena Khurana Nagpal highlights the unspoken reality of workplace safety - that silence often enables harassment more than lack of laws. Through real stories and relatable vignettes, she reveals how unspoken “rules” normalize inappropriate behavior and weaken the effectiveness of policies like POSH. She emphasizes that true safety comes not only from laws but from culture - when individuals acknowledge, interrupt, and support. With a powerful call to action, she reminds us: safety begins when silence ends. With over a decade of experience, Adv. Heena Khurana Nagpal has emerged as one of India’s leading voices in creating safe, inclusive, and respectful workplaces. Honoured with the prestigious Inspiring Women Award for her transformative work in the field of POSH, she has guided numerous organisations in building cultures rooted in trust and dignity. Her expertise spans compliance, training, and legal advisory, blending deep legal knowledge with a human approach that inspires lasting change. Passionate about challenging outdated mindsets, Heena works across industries and geographies to turn workplace safety from a mere legal requirement into a powerful driver of innovation, productivity, and organisational growth.
