I got a new job. The new company does not have POSH policy. Is it safe or should I just leave it?

Ans: Hello

Your concern is valid policy definitely gives a sense of safety and security and also the message that the company is serious about the matter.

However more than any policy it's the intent that matters.

While it's difficult to answer the question, however I would suggest you go by what makes you comfortable. If having policy will give you better comfort then follow that.

wishing you all the best.

Warm regards
KK

Hence I would say that if having policy gives you better comfort towards the organisation than please follow that.

Ans: Hello;

I feel no need to inform this to the insurer now since you acquired it after policy inception.

However you may update it to the insurance company sighting change in health status before next renewal.

Most likely renewal will get rejected or will be accepted without this condition.

Check on cardiac exclusive policies to cover your ailment.

Also keep an emergency fund aside as a safe provision in case any unforeseen situation arises.

Best wishes;
