Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service and Korea Industrial Complex Corporation Collaborate to Establish Win-Win Type Daycare Centers... "Supporting Work-Life Balance"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service (KCOMWEL) will sign a business agreement with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation on the 5th to establish a win-win type joint workplace daycare center.
A win-win type joint workplace daycare center refers to a daycare center established with land, buildings, or costs borne by large corporations, which is then used jointly by the children of workers from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
This agreement aims to provide childcare services and support work-family balance for SME workers residing in 63 national industrial complexes managed by the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation and SME-dense areas among the 1,220 industrial complexes nationwide.
KCOMWEL will be responsible for financial support including installation and operating costs, as well as promotion, consultation, and advisory services for the establishment of win-win type joint workplace daycare centers.
The Korea Industrial Complex Corporation will play a key role in discovering and supporting representative business owners and demand to establish win-win type joint workplace daycare centers within industrial complexes.
Since 2014, KCOMWEL has been working to expand workplace daycare centers within industrial complexes through joint government projects with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation to support innovation in industrial complexes and improve employment environments for resident SMEs.
As a result, 124 workplace daycare centers have been established and operated in 27 national industrial complexes, and last year, a win-win type joint workplace daycare center was selected through a public contest in Daegu Innovation City and is currently being promoted.
Building on this agreement, the two organizations plan to install a win-win type joint workplace daycare center in G-Square, which is being developed as part of the Seoul Digital Industrial Complex structural advancement project, contributing to maternal protection and youth job creation for SMEs such as game companies scheduled to move in.
