[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS Retail announced on the 4th that it has introduced a professional counseling program to support the emotional and psychological stability of its employees.

This program is a new welfare system designed to help alleviate the increased anxiety of employees due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to timely manage stress factors experienced by office workers, enabling them to lead a happier work life.

GS Retail partnered with mental healthcare specialist company Easy & Wellness to implement the professional psychological counseling program. Not only employees but also their spouses, children, and other family members can use this professional counseling program. The number of counseling sessions available per employee (including family) is four times a year. It can be used after making a reservation through the GS Retail exclusive website or call center, where users can select the counseling method, date, and region. There are three types of counseling methods: face-to-face counseling, video counseling, and phone counseling, and users can freely choose their preferred method. Strict confidentiality is maintained regarding counseling content and personal information, allowing employees to safely receive professional counseling on all concerns, from work-related issues to personal matters.

According to GS Retail, the cumulative number of uses exceeded 100 sessions shortly after the introduction of the professional counseling program. The company plans to actively introduce various welfare benefits tailored to the changing times and build a differentiated corporate welfare system.

A GS Retail official said, "The professional counseling program was established as part of strengthening differentiated welfare systems for employees," adding, "We will continue to enhance welfare systems that care for employees so they can lead happy and successful lives."
