Ji Hyun-joo, Director

"When I got my mind, I knew I was under the car.

 

I was just shouting for help, but someone talked to me." At eleven o'clock on the night of February 17, Ji Hyun-Joo (48 yrs old) Korea Johnson & Johnson (J&J), general director of Consumer Health Care AP, returned to the company (LS Yongsan Tower) after a dinner in late winter, when it was still cold.

 

She lost her mind when she recognized the car rushing towards her after getting off the taxi at the back door of the building.

 

The car struck her as it was, and crushed her left arm.

 

She fell stunned and injured her right shoulder, which could endanger her life.

 

Was she lucky?

 

Im Ji-hoon (37 yrs old) Korea Janssen (located in the same building as a J&J subsidiary), who left the office late after work, heard the sound of a bang and ran to the site.

 

A bigger crisis awaits at the site of the accident.

 

What happened to the car that caused the accident, it was a situation where the director would step on the body without stopping.

 

He ran straight away and pushed the vehicle first.

 

It is a later story, but he said that he thought that he was "already dead" when he saw Ji director at the time.

 

He intuited,'Oh, this driver is drinking.' He told the driver to get out of the car.

 

The driver was drunk as expected.

 

It is said that he smoked a cigarette while jovializing at him taking pictures for evidence.

 

He left the driver first, called 911 and approached her.

 

Fortunately, she came back to consciousness, and he got her husband's phone number and contacted her.

 

Thirty minutes after the accident, a 911 ambulance was able to carry her to the hospital emergency room, and she underwent emergency surgery.

 

The driver left the car as it was at that time, and later surrendered, and a trial is currently underway.

 

Director Ji Hyun-Joo, who returned after an unexpected accident, and Deputy General Manager Im Ji-hoon, a lifesaver

◆6 months of rehabilitation and return to work With a fracture of both humerus and the resulting rotator cuff tear, she almost lost both arms.

 

She couldn't move her arms right after the surgery to pin her muscles, and her daily life was impossible at all.

 

She expected to be able to use her arm after removing the cast, but she couldn't listen because her muscles were already stiff.

 

A caregiver, who resides 24 hours a day, had to stand by her for about five months.

 

Eventually, after six months of long rehabilitation, she was able to return to work.

 

The company's help was great for her return.

 

J&J suggested returning to work in a part-time form first, checking her physical condition from time to time.

The company, which had implemented a flexible work system due to the aftermath of COVID-19, provided a dedicated monitor and ergonomics chair at her home for her with discomfort.

 

She is currently working at J&J through telecommuting.

 

“The company has helped me a lot for my return.

 

Even after I return to work, the company checks my condition regularly and discusses the timing of the full-time transition.

 

There is no anxiety about returning to normal, nor the pressure for a quick return.

 

We are sending encouragement and support in line with 'me'."

Deputy Director Im Ji-hoon

◆Joint donation made with life saver and settlement money "He is literally a lifesaver.

 

I can't really thank you in words.

 

I wanted to somehow compensate, so I offered some of the settlement money as a token of gratitude, but I refused.

 

But I said again that my heart was too heavy.

 

, They offered to donate to the Children's Foundation under a joint name." It saved a person's life, but he did not come forward and commended his work, awarded a citation, and shared examples of talks through town hall meetings, but he is still embarrassed.

 

"I'm glad she was just alive.

 

If anyone other than me saw the situation, she would have run to help.

 

I could go to the hospital 5 months after the surgery, but she recovered to some extent.

 

I was really grateful to see it.

 

Oh, the Children's Foundation was originally a place where there was exchange such as voluntary activities at the company level, and it was a personal support.

 

Her accident is, of course, an accident that should never happen again.

 

However, due to this accident, J&J and Janssen, which felt like subsidiaries but actually different companies, united as one.

 

The company also offered psychological counseling using in-house programs to prepare for the trauma that may have been received by him.

 

J&J and its subsidiary Janssen are emphasizing 'Credo', which has been passed down since its inception.

 

The first is the patient and the doctor, the second is the staff, the third is the community, and the company's Credo, which respects the care and values ​​of people, hangs everywhere.

 

Credo, which has been spreading consistently, is perhaps deeply engraved in the company's employees.
