The study, published in July, found that one in three ITA employees experienced inappropriate behavior between 2001 and 2023. “We did this research to get a good idea of ​​where we are now. We saw that there was a lot going on and we hired an agency to get a good idea of ​​what we were talking about.”

abuse of power

Minsu finds the findings shocking. “It’s about abuse of power and intimidation and people not always feeling safe,” he said. “It’s very brave of them to be involved in the investigation and to come forward. It’s a big signal to us that there is work to be done.”

Even under the new administration, which Minsoo has been part of for two years, twelve reports have been submitted, five of which have yet to be addressed. “Every report is too much, it indicates that someone didn’t feel comfortable in our organization and we as management are responsible for that. The other thing is that we were also able to create a culture together in that short time. That people now feel free to report the fact that people think nothing has been done about it, which is also what the research agency says we really need to start doing.”
