Employers are now legally obligated to: 1. Conduct training on leave systems. 2. Establish consultation desks. 3. Collect and provide usage examples. 4. Communicate policies to staff.

The guidebook provides: 1. Practical workflows compliant with the 2025 legal amendments. 2. A systematized approach to 'Care Literacy'. 3. Practical 'Care Consultation and Interview Methods'. 4. Mental health support to protect employees.
