[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do (Governor Kim Kyung-soo) announced on the 13th that it will operate the employee psychological counseling program ‘WITH’ in 2020 to prevent and heal employee stress.

WITH, meaning ‘We I Together Healing,’ is a professional counseling and education service that supports employees in sharing concerns and overcoming difficulties caused by various stresses and personal problems.

Employees who wish to receive counseling can undergo an online stress self-diagnosis, one-on-one (1:1) face-to-face counseling with a professional psychological counselor, and non-face-to-face counseling via phone or email. If necessary, counseling programs linked with hospitals and clinics are also available.

A Gyeongnam Province official stated, “The unstable psychological state caused by stress among employees who directly or indirectly face residents is directly transmitted to the residents,” adding, “To prevent losses for both employees and residents, it is an increasingly important issue to further improve employee job satisfaction.”
