The Japanese diet recently passed a power harassment bill, that mandates that organizations prevent this type of workplace harassment from taking place. Power harassment has been defined as bullying/abuse that is committed by individuals who have power within their organization. The penalties for being found guilty of power harassment are severe- companies’ names are publicized in extreme cases. However, some fear that the ministry should provide more examples of what power harassment is, in order to make it more distinct from general job instruction.
