Practicing Social Distancing in Daily Life... Gwanak-gu Actively Adopts Non-Face-to-Face Video Meetings

Implementing Communication Administration Enhancing Work Efficiency Through Non-Face-to-Face Video Meetings Open to All... Ministry of the Interior and Safety Actively Operating 'Onnara Eum PC Video Meeting System,' Utilized in Various Meetings and Training Sessions

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is introducing a permanent PC video conferencing system that allows various meetings and training sessions to be conducted remotely in order to effectively respond to COVID-19 and improve workplace efficiency.

This initiative aims to create a new meeting culture in accordance with government guidelines to utilize non-face-to-face methods such as video, phone, and written communication for internal and external meetings and reports to implement ‘social distancing in daily life.’

The district plans to actively utilize the ‘Onnara Ieum PC Video Conferencing System’ distributed by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, applying it widely for ▲various emergency meetings ▲interdepartmental work consultations ▲executive meetings ▲work delivery training, and more.

Any employee can freely hold and participate in various meetings and training sessions using their personal work PC without being restricted by time or place.

Accordingly, it is expected that the time and costs required for attending face-to-face meetings will be greatly reduced, and work efficiency will improve.

Additionally, the district plans to encourage the active use of the video conferencing system at 21 community service centers in each neighborhood, so that it can be widely used not only for internal meetings and events but also for meetings of various functional organizations such as the Tongjang Council and the Residents’ Autonomy Committee.

On the 11th, the district replaced the previously face-to-face employee assembly with an online video assembly, receiving great positive feedback from employees.

Mayor Park Junhee stated, “The new video conferencing culture integrated with smart technology is expected to play a pivotal role in removing barriers between departments and advancing toward new communication and creative administration,” adding, “We will do our best to create a safe and happy workplace environment for employees by adopting smart work methods in line with the upcoming post-COVID-19 era.”
