[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Hong Bongcheol, chairman of Electron Land, held a video conference with all employees to encourage executives and staff who are experiencing difficulties due to the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the morning of the 5th, Chairman Hong said through the video conference, “Electron Land has overcome numerous crises well since starting its business in 1988 as the first home appliance superstore in Korea,” and added, “Although the entire industry is going through a difficult time due to COVID-19, if we endure this period well, we can become a stronger company.”

Chairman Hong also encouraged employees by saying, “We are conducting disinfection so that customers can visit the stores with peace of mind,” and “Until the COVID-19 situation settles, we must do our best to ensure safe shopping for our customers.”

Meanwhile, Electron Land is making every effort to respond to COVID-19 by distributing about 60,000 masks to employees nationwide for personal use and customer service. Hand sanitizers have been placed at store entrances so that visiting customers can use them frequently. Disinfection of all nationwide stores has been completed, and additional measures will be taken if necessary.

Hygiene management is also being conducted during product delivery. When delivery personnel visit customers’ homes to install products purchased from Electron Land, wearing masks and using hand sanitizers are mandatory, and hygiene management is being strengthened at logistics centers by avoiding gatherings of many people at once.

Chairman Hong added, “We will not spare support for the health and safety of not only customers but also executives and employees.”
