Gwangju Urban Corporation and 24 Other Organizations Report and Share Performance Achievement Plans

Mayor Lee Yong-seop: "Need for Business Area Adjustment and Management Innovation to Meet New Demands"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City and public institutions are actively promoting management strategies to proactively prepare for the post-COVID-19 era.

On the 28th, Gwangju City held a 'Public Institution Heads Meeting' at the city hall's medium conference room, with the participation of 24 public institutions including Gwangju Urban Corporation, sharing the progress and plans of each institution's 2020 performance achievement plans.

In particular, Mayor Lee Yong-seop urged ▲preparation for the post-COVID-19 era through innovative change management ▲strict compliance with quarantine guidelines to actively respond to COVID-19 ▲fair and transparent employee recruitment ▲and leading by example in hiring people with disabilities.

Mayor Lee stated, "In response to the COVID-19 situation, public institutions must innovatively review their overall management by expanding online business, digitizing work, or adjusting work areas to meet new demands," and added, "Please devise post-COVID-19 countermeasures that lead in quarantine, eco-friendliness, the spread of untact culture, remote classes, increased telecommuting, and new cultural consumption methods."

He also emphasized that each department must innovatively revise policy directions and key initiatives according to changes in conditions and government policies after the post-COVID-19 era to secure the maximum national budget for next year.

He said, "For the local economy to recover to the pre-COVID-19 situation, each public institution must actively discover its own job projects and prepare ways to provide jobs to citizens," and added, "Since the domestic economy is shrinking and living conditions have worsened significantly due to decreased consumption, public institutions should actively perform their financial roles such as purchasing goods, contracting, and prompt execution, and practice quarantine rules such as wearing masks at workplaces, refraining from group dining, and maintaining social distancing in daily life."

He also mentioned, "Since the revised enforcement decrees of the 'Local Public Enterprises Act' and the 'Act on the Operation of Local Government Investment and Subsidized Institutions,' which were approved at the Cabinet meeting on the 26th, will be enforced from the 4th of next month, all personnel officers and employees of each institution should familiarize themselves with them," and added, "Please ensure that there are no recruitment irregularities during the document screening of written exam passers and interview tests to be conducted soon, and carry out fair and transparent recruitment procedures thoroughly."

Additionally, he urged public institutions to take the lead in actively hiring people with disabilities.

Earlier, in February, Mayor Lee received reports on performance achievement plans for each affiliated public institution aimed at completion within the year and ordered intensive innovation.

Meanwhile, Gwangju City has been promoting strong public institution innovation since last year, starting with recommendations from the Gwangju Innovation Promotion Committee, and plans to actively pursue innovation to improve the organizational structure of each institution this year by reflecting the results of last year's service projects.
