Human relations are important in the workplace. Many workers spend the majority of their time at work interacting with superiors and co-workers, and are sometimes expected to engage in teamwork as part of their duties. However, human relations in the workplace do not always go well, and poor human relations are a cause of stress. These problems of poor human relations sometimes take the form of harassment. When harassment and friction in human relations are severe or continuous, they can impair the mental health of workers. If a worker develops a mental disorder resulting from his or her work, it could be certified as an occupational disease. New Certification Criteria established in 2011 provide progressive treatment for cases of harassment. Now, if a worker develops a mental disorder as a result of harassment, he or she can claim damages against the employer or perpetrator. A claim for damages is upheld if harassment is proved and a causative relationship with the mental disorder is affirmed. It remains to be seen, however, how far claims for medical costs, damages due to absence from work, and loss of earnings will be admitted.
