The ceremony was attended by Mayor Lee Dong-jin and many employees, who shared congratulations and encouragement and had a meaningful time listening to senior employees’ childcare know-how.

Mayor Lee Dong-jin of Dobong-gu stated, “Through the ‘Happy Bebe Project,’ which aims to create an organizational culture that respects and cares for pregnant employees and a safe working environment, we will do our best to deliver congratulatory gifts, practice employee appreciation, and contribute to birth promotion policies.”
