On the 13th, Decamp (CEO Park Young-hoon) held an offline consultation session for its "Business Desk," a customized professional consulting program for startups, at Decamp Mapo. Eight specialized organizations participated in the event, providing in-depth consultations to a total of 23 startups.
The Business Desk program provides one-on-one consulting services from leading experts in key business areas like law, labor, finance, accounting, and intellectual property, addressing challenges startups find difficult to address on their own. The program focuses on providing practical solutions within three days of application, improving business efficiency and establishing a foundation for sustainable growth.
This offline Business Desk consultation session was planned to provide more in-depth advice by expanding the existing online Business Desk to an offline format.
On this day, a startup representative who received legal advice through this program said, “In the case of consultations provided by other organizations, the scope and time of consultations were limited and there were separate costs, which was inconvenient. However, Business Desk had no such restrictions and I was satisfied because I could receive additional help even for cases for which consultations had already been completed.”
Meanwhile, the most frequently requested area of consultation at this Business Desk offline consultation was labor, with "employment rules" being the most sought-after. This suggests that, amidst shrinking investment and economic uncertainty, there's a growing movement to strengthen internal regulations and systems to ensure stable operations with existing staff and ensure internal stability. Companies with 10 or more employees who have delayed or neglected the legally mandated drafting of employment rules are now establishing clearer personnel standards, including employment contract systems, as sensitive issues like workforce downsizing and the introduction of flexible work arrangements continue to arise.
Park Sang-min, a labor attorney at Cheongrok Labor Law Firm, said, “Employment rules are a legal safety net that prevents potential disputes such as layoffs, furloughs, and disciplinary actions in advance, and are a key tool for talent management in preparation for investment due diligence.” He added, “They are essential preemptive measures that must be established to ensure the stable growth of an organization.”
