Every employee must take the stress evaluation test before doing the annual physical check-up and for those employees determined as being stressed, GC has implemented activities with psychologists to create awareness and understanding, including monitoring those employees with a high level of stress that could not be resolved by themselves to receive treatment under close medical supervision.
