Hyosung announced on 22nd that the company would receive the family-friendly company certification in the ‘2015 Family-friendly Certification Presentation Ceremony’ to be held at the International Conference Room of the Korea Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
The Family-friendly Certification is a system that presents a certification through reviews by Ministry of Gender Equality & Family, to companies and public institutions that exemplarily make the family-friendly company culture such as support to child birth and nurture, to make a working environment in which family life and life at work can harmoniously be compatible. This year, a total of 427 companies and institutions including Hyosung and 34 other large companies will receive new certifications.
After declaring ‘Great Work Place’ in 2013, Hyosung operates a dedicated team, and successfully runs family programs such as ‘Head Office One Mind Athletic Competition’, ‘Love Family Camp’ and ‘Summer Camp’ for each business place. Particularly, Hyosung received high evaluations for the return rate of female employees after maternity leave and the paternity leave rate of male employees.
Mr. Cho Hyun-sang Head of the Hyosung Sharing Volunteer Corps (vice president) said, “We have consistently continued the family-friendly management with the belief that making a great work place should begin with systematic consideration so that employees can balance between work and family,” and “for employees to be able to concentrate on work without worrying about childcare, we made workplace nurseries at the head office and Changwon Plant, which receive huge response. We will continue to take diverse actions which can make both employees and families happy.”
