Workplace harassment and abuse-of-power prevention training is a 2-hour intensive course led by instructor Miyoung Oh. It takes a systematic approach to harassment and abuse of power that rely on rank or relationships in today’s workplace. The course clearly separates the definition and types of workplace harassment, and helps participants see situations from both the offender’s and the victim’s perspective. Through real-case analysis, participants learn to tell abuse of power from legitimate work instructions, and study healthy workplace communication and ways to build a culture of mutual respect. It sets out the roles and responsibilities of managers and general employees, and offers practical, prevention-focused response strategies.

- Three criteria — a position or relationship of power, conduct beyond what the job reasonably requires, and physical or mental distress
- The difference between power and authority · Where legitimate work instructions end and abuse of power begins

- Common abuse-of-power situations in the workplace and how to respond to each
- Harassment in messengers and group chats
- How to protect employees from verbal abuse by customers, business partners, and other outsiders
Reporting and response: the duty to act and preventing secondary harm
- Reporting, investigation, and corrective-action procedures, and confidentiality
- A manager’s first response — what not to say or do
- Ban on adverse treatment; fines (up to KRW 10 million (≈ US$7,480) if committed directly by the employer, up to KRW 5 million (≈ US$3,740) for failing to investigate or act)
- Preventing recurrence and building a culture of mutual respect
