They actively promote a culture of mutual respect among employees, including using honorific language with each other, greeting with a smile, exchanging compliments, refraining from insulting or sexist remarks, and listening attentively to others.

Mayor Yun Byeong-tae and employees from the Audit Office supported a lively workday by sharing coffee with employees on their way to work and conducting a mutual respect sticker vote with warm greetings.

They also promoted the "Power Harassment Counseling Center," operated in connection with the Korea Integrity Movement Headquarters.

The counseling center serves as a communication channel where employees can consult external experts to determine whether certain behavior constitutes power harassment before filing a formal report.

Employees can contact the Korea Integrity Movement Headquarters by phone or email.

Mayor Yun said, "I hope all public officials will join in breaking down the walls of mutual understanding and communication to create a happy workplace where work is enjoyable," adding, "Let us all move forward with one heart to realize a trusted Naju City administration through improved internal integrity."
