[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] POSCO Energy has mandated that pregnant employees work from home starting from the 26th, following the escalation of the COVID-19 crisis alert to the severe level. These employees will work from home until further notice from the company.


Additionally, the company has informed employees facing childcare difficulties due to kindergarten and daycare closures and the postponement of elementary school openings about the 'Family Care Leave System' and encouraged its active use. The Family Care Leave System allows employees to take leave supported by the company when care is needed for grandparents, parents, spouses, children, or the parents of spouses.



Jung Ki-seop, President of POSCO Energy, stated, "Since power plants must operate 365 days a year under any circumstances, we are committed to preventing COVID-19 and urge related departments to respond swiftly to ensure that employees can work with peace of mind."
