[Social Insurance Labor Consultant Explanation] If Left Unchecked, It's Definitely Power Harassment. Revealing the Reality of "Fuki-Hara" (Ill-Tempered Harassment) That Dominates the Workplace Atmosphere and Preventive Measures Companies Should Take

The Clare Human Resource Development Association (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Yasuhiro Sakai) has released a new video explaining the dangers and specific countermeasures of "Fuki-Hara" (Ill-Tempered Harassment), which has been gaining attention in recent years. This video is aimed at corporate executives and HR/labor managers struggling with communication breakdowns and potential harassment risks within their organizations.

Complaints such as "My boss always gives off a busy aura and I can't talk to them" or "They make a face when I ask for work advice" are commonly heard in many workplaces. While these are often dismissed as "just a matter of personal personality," actions that intimidate and make others feel small through an ill-tempered attitude or tone fall under the category of "Fuki-Hara" (Ill-Tempered Harassment). Specifically, this includes behaviors like deliberately ignoring someone when spoken to, clicking one's tongue, sighing loudly, or answering the phone in an ill-tempered manner.

The most frightening aspect of Fuki-Hara is its high probability of escalating into serious "Power Harassment" if left unaddressed. Furthermore, if even one person in the workplace engages in Fuki-Hara, it can create a "vicious cycle" where those around them also adopt stern expressions, leading to a deterioration of the overall organizational atmosphere. Consequently, psychological safety is undermined, reporting, communication, and consultation (Horenso) become stagnant, resulting in decreased operational efficiency, damage to corporate image, and even turnover among younger employees.
