The campaign is designed to improve the practice of addressing foreign workers with impersonal terms like "Hey" or "You" instead of their names, and to promote a culture of respecting them as colleagues and individuals. In particular, it aims to foster a workplace culture of mutual respect and human rights protection, starting with simply calling them by their names. The state expects that providing hard hats with foreign workers' names written in both their native language and Korean will naturally promote camaraderie and a culture of human rights on-site. Furthermore, using clear and proper names is anticipated to contribute to creating a safer working environment.
