[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced on the 10th that it will sign a voluntary agreement with the clothing manufacturer Hanse Industrial to secure gender balance across all job levels.

This is the 15th voluntary agreement the Ministry has made with companies, and the ceremony will be held from 2 p.m. at Hanse Industrial's corporate headquarters in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

At the agreement ceremony, exemplary cases will be introduced, such as a naturalized Vietnamese woman taking parental leave and a male employee commuting while leaving his two children at the workplace daycare. Hanse Industrial has 1.5 percentage points more female regular employees than the industry average, and the proportion of female executives is 38.9%, higher than the average of 22.8%.

Hanse Industrial plans to prevent career interruptions through more detailed work-life balance support policies and build a corporate culture where men and women grow together through activities such as mentoring and leadership training for gender equality by the in-house People & Culture (P&C) team.
