Customer harassmentResponse policy

Basic policy

Iconia Hospitality K.K.

In order to provide better service, we believe it is necessary to respect the human rights of our employees and create a work environment in which they can work in good physical and mental health and with peace of mind. Based on this belief, we have formulated a "Customer Harassment Policy." This policy applies to the Company and all companies in the Group.

  • To accurately verify the facts and ensure the safety of our employees, we will record phone conversations and videotape using security cameras, etc., and store and use these recordings for future reference.
  • If we identify any malicious or criminal conduct, we will not leave it to a single employee on the scene, but will respond systematically as an organization, consulting with the appropriate authorities such as the police and lawyers, and will take strict action.
