Last year ILO created the first international standard that aims to put an end to violence and harassment in the world of work(see article 4 below) . In Japan in 2019 as well, the new labor law on workplace bullying passed, which will take effect in June, 2020. The new law made definition of the harassment protected by the law and shows preventive actions to be taken by the companies. I truly hope ,thanks to the Japanese law maker's effort, violence and harassment at work will dramatically decrease so that healthy and effective working environment prevail throughout Japan from now on!
