A wide attention in the network was attracted by a Southern Korean company, which publicized internal messaging, calling its employees to take a shower at least once a day, with the arrival of summer and the growth of hygiene concerns in the offices. One social media user published a screenshot of the company announcement with the comment: "Our management only released the announcement on 'daily showers,'" after which the post quickly spread, provoking a wave of reactions.
Inside the communication, the company's administrative support stated: "With the arrival of the hot summer, we ask all employees to strictly follow personal hygiene recommendations." The recommendations include taking a shower at least once a day, wearing clean and comfortable clothing, using deodorant or wet wipes. The announcement also emphasized the importance of office ventilation, urging employees to ventilate the rooms before starting work and after lunch, as well as to use air purifiers and air cleaners when necessary.
"Do not assume that your smell is unpleasant - your colleagues will not tell you about it," warns the message, pointing to odor from cigarettes, sweat after workouts, body and worn clothing. The Korean Times reported that the author of the original post thanked the company's initiative, noting: "This is common space, therefore I value that the company addressed this issue. Some people come in damp (from sweat) clothes, and it can be unpleasant."
User feedback on the Internet was diverse.
