[Instructor] Attorney Shinya Tsuchiya, Ishizaki & Yamanaka Law Office [Key Lecture Content] When various problematic behaviors arise from employees, such as poor work attitude, harassment, and lack of cooperation, if the employer mismanages the response, it can significantly undermine workplace order and operational efficiency, and there is also a possibility that the legal validity of disciplinary actions or personnel measures taken against the employee in question may be denied. To avoid such risks, appropriate and consistent responses based on employment regulations and internal systems are required. On the other hand, dealing with "problematic employees" can often place a significant psychological and practical burden on busy supervisors and HR personnel. In order to maintain smooth business operations, support for those responding and organizational preparedness have become essential in today's environment. In this seminar, we will systematically organize practical knowledge useful in the field by considering specific scenarios, focusing on the legal points and practical strategies to keep in mind when responding to various types of "problematic employees" that have been emerging recently.
