The Korea Real Estate Board (President Son Tae-rak) announced on the 14th that it will provide Humart Company's non-face-to-face mental health management services to its executives and employees for the second consecutive year.


Humart Company's 'Trost Employee Assistance Program (EAP)' allows users who wish to receive psychological counseling to access the app anytime and anywhere to use chat and phone counseling. It also features meditation and sound therapy functions that help relieve tension and prevent and manage stress caused by work.


A representative from Humart Company stated that workplace mental health programs particularly help employees in five areas: ▲ absenteeism ▲ presenteeism (the phenomenon where employees come to work but their physical or mental condition is not normal, resulting in decreased work performance) ▲ work engagement ▲ workplace grievances ▲ and life satisfaction.


According to a 2020 report by the U.S. Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA), in workplaces with more than 500 employees, investing 1 dollar in EAP results in a return of 1.24 dollars through reduced absenteeism and 8.09 dollars through reduced presenteeism.


Meanwhile, the Korea Real Estate Board was selected as an excellent company in the safety management field at the '22nd Korea Safety Awards' and received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award for two consecutive years, continuously implementing its safety and health management system.


Jang Woo-seok, Director of Management Support at the Korea Real Estate Board, said, "We will do our best to manage the increased stress of employees due to the recent economic downturn and to create a safe workplace by paying attention not only to physical health but also to mental health," adding, "We hope that Trost EAP will contribute to the Korea Real Estate Board's ESG management."



Kim Dong-hyun, CEO of Humart Company, which provides the Trost EAP service, said, "We offer various B2B mental care services such as psychological diagnosis, special lectures and workshops, and joint planning and operation of CSR projects," and added, "We will continue to work together with the Korea Real Estate Board to foster a healthy organizational culture."
