[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) signed a responsibility management contract on the morning of the 20th at the Daejeon headquarters with 38 key department heads and regional headquarters chiefs to strengthen the roles of department heads.

The responsibility management contract guarantees authority and responsibility to each department head from the CEO to achieve management goals. KORAIL, which switched to an emergency management system earlier this month, included overcoming the management crisis caused by the sharp decline in passengers due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and supporting economic revitalization in this responsibility management contract.

To this end, department heads were urged to fulfill their responsibilities and roles in realizing a safe railroad that the public can trust by actively expanding investments to enhance railroad safety infrastructure, recovering demand through aggressive marketing, and stimulating domestic consumption.

Son Byung-seok, President of KORAIL, said, "In the current situation where serious management difficulties are expected due to the impact of COVID-19, the responsibility of each department head is immense," and urged, "Please devote all your efforts to achieving management goals with a sense of mission to guard the front line of management."
