Upcoming Seminar on Harassment Consultation

The general public often overlooks harassment consultation services, and this phenomenon is not due to a lack of need, but rather an absence of connection and communication within workplaces. The Creer Human Resources Education Association, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is organizing a seminar to delve into this pressing issue on June 15. The seminar will be led by Jun Ono, a licensed social insurance labor consultant and an expert in harassment issues with over 400 lectures across various sectors, including corporate, medical, and educational fields.

The Seminar's Focus

The standout theme of the seminar is: “Why nobody consults harassment hotlines.” Participants will examine the tension between established systems and the actual environments in workplaces. Ono will address the invisible barriers that prevent individuals from seeking help, offering real-life examples that highlight systemic issues and stifled communication.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, there are over 1.2 million labor-related consultations each year, a significant number of which pertain to harassment. Even amidst a well-defined system, many employees remain unsure whether they are experiencing harassment or mere disciplinary action. Consequently, workplaces must cultivate an awareness to recognize discomfort and address it promptly.

Legislative Background

The introduction of the Power Harassment Prevention Law in 2020 and mandatory establishment of consultation hotlines in 2022 were crucial steps toward creating safer environments. However, despite these advancements, many individuals still choose not to consult anyone or are unclear on whom to approach.

Key Topics to be Covered

1. Why Do Consultation Hotlines Become “Invisible”?
The seminar will explore the various factors that contribute to the reluctance to engage with available resources, highlighting the communication gaps within organizations.

2. Common Structural Issues in “Difficult-to-Consult” Workplaces
Participants will identify shared characteristics across workplaces that make consultation cumbersome and problematic.

3. Consultation as a Preventive Measure
Understanding consultations as proactive actions is vital. The seminar will discuss how to foster this mindset within organizational culture.

4. Real-Life Testimonials of Inaccessible Consultation
The discussion will include instances of employees unable to seek advice, examining the underlying organizational dysfunctions.
