Attorney Shinyoung Choi from Cha&Kwon law offices recently provided a legal counsel on workplace harassment cases.

In workplace harassment incidents, a company’s responsibilities extend beyond merely disciplining the offender. Under Articles 76-2 and 76-3 of the Labor Standards Act, employers are obligated to:
- Conduct prompt investigations upon receiving a report
- Separate the victim and the perpetrator in the workplace
- Implement appropriate protective measures for the victim
- Take steps to prevent secondary victimization

Failure to fulfill these obligations, particularly in protecting the victim, may result in civil liability for damages.

Cha&Kwon law offices assists companies in responding effectively to workplace harassment cases by providing guidance on:
- Establishing workplace harassment prevention policies
- Developing internal reporting procedures and investigation manuals
- Drafting guidelines for victim protection measures
- Creating training programs for managers
