Hanwha Construction Division announced on the 22nd that it is taking steps to enhance employees' mental health and create a healthy organizational culture through its in-house psychological counseling program 'RAPPORENA.'

'RAPPORENA' is a representative psychological support system of Hanwha Construction Division that helps employees alleviate emotional difficulties experienced both inside and outside of work and improve their resilience. It is available not only to employees but also to their spouses, children, and employees of partner companies.

Those wishing to use the service can participate in the program by applying in advance and can attend from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.

This year, reflecting employees' opinions, new channels for non-face-to-face counseling and emotional recovery programs through physical activities will be introduced in addition to the existing programs.

Currently, the individual programs include 'psychological assessment and counseling program' that can be used by employees and their families together, 'one-day (1DAY) mobile counseling booth' for field and business site employees, and online-based 'stress self-diagnosis.'

Starting in the first half of this year, a new psychological support channel called 'counselor mail' will be introduced. This is a non-face-to-face counseling service where employees can leave their concerns anonymously, and a professional counselor will provide empathy and advice.

Group programs include 'organizational psychology training' to strengthen teamwork and 'couples and parenting education' to assist family understanding and communication. In addition, starting this year, a 'mindfulness program' teaching breathing techniques and stretching will be regularly operated at least once a month to provide time for relaxation in the midst of busy work.

Park Ji-eun, head of the Human Resources Operations Team at Hanwha Construction Division, noted, "We will continually support employees in maintaining a healthy mind in various areas, including work life, family relationships, and self-actualization."
