Seoul Seobuk Workplace Mom Support Center, Emotional Labor Working Moms and Dads 'Support Campaign'

Sentimental Labor Working Moms and Dads Receive Heartfelt Lunchboxes for About 5 Teams

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 20th that it will hold a campaign to receive stories from working moms and dads engaged in emotional labor about the difficulties of balancing work and family life and examples of support from colleagues, selecting five teams to deliver encouragement lunchboxes.

This campaign is being conducted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Northwestern Workplace Moms Support Center, and related stories can be submitted to the Workplace Moms Dundeun Map Cafe operated by the center until the 27th. Only working moms and dads engaged in emotional labor who reside or work in Eunpyeong-gu, Mapo-gu, Seodaemun-gu, Jongno-gu, or Jung-gu in Seoul are eligible to participate.

Five stories that receive the most public sympathy will be selected, and lunchboxes that the working moms and dads themselves and their colleagues can eat together will be directly delivered. Participants can promote their stories by leaving heartfelt messages on the encouragement lunchbox campaign board and sharing their posts.

Additionally, 20 people who write sincere stories but are not selected among the final five will be given desserts. Furthermore, 50 people who participate in the final story selection will be randomly drawn to receive coffee gifticons.

Kang Ji-hyun, Seoul’s Gender Equality Officer, said, “Through this encouragement campaign, we expect to hear various stories about the difficulties and solutions related to work-life balance faced by working moms and dads engaged in emotional labor.” She added, “Seoul will continue to support and encourage work-life balance for working moms and dads through the Workplace Moms Support Center.”
