worried about something, things often get out of hand. It's only natural that you need to be mentally healthy to be more efficient. That's why more and more companies are managing their employees' mental health while spending money.

I'm a reporter.

Employees who are worried about raising
children get together and talk about parenting at work.

[Clinical psychology expert: How do you want your child to grow up?]

[Staff: I wish you were persistent.]

[Background/Employee: I had a lot of trouble spending time with my children because I was a working father, but I had a little trouble reading their minds...]

The company conducts group counseling four times a month on topics such as child rearing, job stress, and workplace conflicts, and the response is always high enough to close early.

[Jo Jung-hee/Head of Corporate Culture Innovation Team, Hyundai Motor Company: I thought that mental health, stability in daily life, and comfort in family life all come together to contribute to creating a healthy organization.

The hospital's clinical psychologist conducts video consultations with office workers who complain of insomnia.

[First of all, it was a vacation last week, so it would be good to keep an eye on it this week...]

Hospitals and businesses have an agreement to consult and provide treatment if necessary.

When the Institute of Corporate Mental Health at Gangbuk Samsung Hospital surveyed companies that received counseling requests, about 4~1.1% of the employees absent from work due to mental health problems every year.

From the company's point of view, the losses amount to 5~3 million won per year.

[Jeon Sangwon/Director of Corporate Mental Health Research Institute, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital: When you have family problems, personal problems, or money problems, the company can't solve them, but if a psychiatrist helps you, you can use that concentration to the company.]

However, unreasonable organizational culture is always cited as a major factor that causes a decrease in productivity, and efforts to improve this aspect at the same time are necessary.
