NCSoft Expands Employment of Disabled Workers

NCSoft is expanding its activities for people with disabilities, including the employment of disabled workers and research on 'game accessibility guidelines.'

On the 14th, NCSoft established a 'Nail Care Room' to support the employment of disabled workers and employee welfare. In the 'Nail Care Room,' employees with severe disabilities provide nail care services such as general care and gel care. A dedicated sign language interpreter accompanies the hearing-impaired staff in the 'Nail Care Room.' Additionally, a developmentally disabled employee works in NCSoft's in-house facility 'Library' to manage bookshelves efficiently.

NCSoft operates its subsidiary 'NC Service,' which handles customer support for its games. NC Service has established convenience facilities for disabled employees at its workplace and met employment requirements to obtain the 'Subsidiary-type Standard Workplace for the Disabled' certification in 2019. In 2020, it also received the Minister of Employment and Labor Award for 'Comfortable Workplace of the Year.'

NC Service has been leading efforts in employing people with disabilities to contribute to the local community. NCSoft plans to continue supporting and employing people with disabilities by providing various facilities and conducting practical training programs in collaboration with NC Service.

To enable barrier-free gameplay, NCSoft is also developing development guidelines on 'game accessibility for people with disabilities.' Through NCSoft's 'Game Design Lab,' they are researching ways to enhance accessibility in various areas such as ▲audio ▲controls ▲interface ▲communication, and plan to gradually apply these improvements to their games.
