Gyeonggi Province Governor Choo Mi-ae worked with employees at the provincial government office on Wednesday to complete a quiz on preventing workplace abuse and examine differences in how people across ranks and generations perceive such abuse, as part of efforts to foster a culture of mutual respect in public service.


That day, Governor Choo visited the "Zero Abuse Special Promotion Center" set up in the first-floor lobby of the provincial government office. She joined employees in taking the "Know Workplace Abuse: True-or-False Quiz" and playing a scenario-based "Workplace Abuse Balance Game" to explore differences in perceptions of abuse in various workplace situations.


The event was held as part of Gyeonggi Province's "2026 Gyeonggi Province Zero Abuse Promotion Week," which runs from October 12 to 16.


Under the theme "A Gyeonggi Province Without Workplace Abuse, Built on Mutual Respect and Action," the province is running a range of interactive programs to encourage employees to reflect on everyday instances of workplace abuse and consider the importance of mutual respect.

Activities at the special promotion center on Wednesday also included delivering thank-you letters, trying their hand at calligraphy to promote abuse prevention, and sharing examples of risky words and conduct that could constitute workplace abuse in everyday life. During promotion week, illustrations and explanatory materials on preventing workplace abuse will also be displayed in the provincial government office lobby.


In addition, Gyeonggi Province will distribute "A Cup of Respect" cup sleeves printed with messages promoting abuse prevention at cafes in the provincial government office and at the provincial council store. It will also hold a "Departmental Workplace Abuse Prevention Pledge," in which employees in each department set commitments to put into practice together.



The province will also operate a confidential, one-on-one counseling service with certified labor attorneys, allowing employees to seek advice from outside experts about workplace abuse or related concerns.
