Dear CEO! Please Invest to Consider Your Employees' Work-Life Balance!

Korea is an IT powerhouse. Beyond its reputation as having the world's highest internet penetration rate, it is now second in the world for paid AI users. Many Koreans have truly fallen into the sea of AI.

Now, people feel anxious if they don't use AI. Even when looking at recent job postings, AI utilization skills and skill sets are required. It instills a sense of anxiety that you will fall behind if you don't use it.

As a result, even CEOs actively emphasize the use of AI to their employees. They encourage the use of AI to reduce costs.

But the problem arises here. The employees are taking on tasks, mainly those they didn't do before, through AI, so it takes a long time.

Since I'm in the translation industry, I'll use translation as an example. Internal employees are not translation experts, but they are directly translating using AI. Because they don't have professional experience, it takes a long time and is difficult. They have to do other work anyway, and they have to take on translation work, so overtime is a given.

They don't want to do it because it's not their job, and it's not their area of expertise. Not only is there a lack of work expertise, but overtime also causes a crack in work-life balance.

Translation companies like us exist for employees in this situation. It is the reason for our existence. Our goal and mission is to help with the parts that AI cannot perfectly do.

We can provide consolation vacations, welfare facilities, etc., for our employees. However, it seems that investment to allow them to focus on their work and investment to reduce pure work hours are more fundamental welfare.
