GKL brings workplace counseling to casino employees

Grand Korea Leisure (GKL), the operator of Korea's Seven Luck foreigner-only casinos, is introducing professional counseling services to its casino employees. The state-owned enterprise aims to prioritize staff well-being by bringing the "No-ri-teo" initiative directly to the casino floor. "No-ri-teo," a clever Korean wordplay translating to "Let us talk openly about labor and management issues," is a weeklong program designed to maximize reach.

The initiative kicked off on Monday, visiting GKL's Seoul headquarters, the Gangnam Coex branch, and the Seoul Dragon City branch before concluding at the Busan Lotte branch. To accommodate night staff members, counseling booths remain open from 11:00 a.m. until midnight, ensuring support for all three duty shifts. The program provides a confidential space for employees to address workplace grievances and offers vital emotional support required in the hospitality industry.
