Gwangju Seo-gu 'COVID-19 Spread' All-Out Effort to Prevent Daily Work Leakage

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is making every effort to prevent and respond to the spread of COVID-19, while also focusing on preventing leaks in routine tasks that could be neglected.

According to Seo-gu on the 12th, Seo Dae-seok, the head of Seo-gu Office, recently expressed appreciation for the hard work of employees who are working for the safety of citizens during an executive meeting.

As disruptions to regular work are expected due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, he ordered a thorough inspection of vulnerable groups and overall daily tasks behind the scenes and urged active administration for residents.

Accordingly, as part of creating a working organizational culture, the district will boldly abolish unnecessary tasks and implement a policy sunset system to thoroughly respond to COVID-19 emergency tasks and major district projects with the budget and manpower saved.

The policy sunset system is a system that sunsets tasks with poor performance relative to investment, significant administrative or budget waste factors, or inefficient and ineffective tasks carried out by custom.

Through an investigation of projects underway until the end of this month, the policy sunset system will be applied through director or department head meetings or district administration adjustment committee reviews depending on the priority of the projects.

A Seo-gu official said, “A working organizational culture cultivates employees’ administrative capabilities on a regular basis, enabling flexible and prompt responses even in disaster situations like this, contributing to the early end of the disaster,” and added, “We will continue to build a working organizational culture through learning and innovation with passion.”

Meanwhile, Seo-gu is promoting various projects to create a working organization, including fostering an active administrative organizational atmosphere to support proactive task performance, establishing and operating a T/F team to build a Seo-gu-type integrated welfare model, and operating a policy development research group for Seo-gu public officials to develop fresh and diverse ideas.
