[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Sohn Tae-seung, Chairman of Woori Financial Group, has embarked on empathetic and communicative management with the group’s employees.

Woori Financial announced on the 14th that Chairman Sohn visited all group companies sequentially from the 2nd to the 12th to engage in open communication aimed at spreading a horizontal culture of empathy among employees. This face-to-face communication with employees across the group follows his on-site management visit to Woori Bank’s Namdaemun Market branch in March, where support activities for small business owners affected by COVID-19 were conducted.

This communication initiative was arranged under Chairman Sohn’s directive to listen to the voices of on-site employees from a total of 10 group companies across diverse industries and to share the CEO’s management philosophy.

Starting with Woori Card on the 2nd, Sohn visited Woori Financial Management Research Institute, Woori FIS, Woori Fund Service, Woori Asset Management, Woori Global Asset Management, Woori Asset Trust, Woori Comprehensive Financial, Woori Credit Information, and Woori PE Asset Management over a two-week period.

The event was held eight times under the theme of “empathetic communication management,” with Chairman Sohn personally visiting the subsidiaries’ headquarters to review employees’ working environments and encourage those fulfilling their responsibilities.

In particular, Chairman Sohn held lunch discussions with about 10 “Young Leader” employees from each group company. It was explained that in an informal atmosphere, free opinions were exchanged and various ideas for the future development of Woori Financial Group were shared.

A Woori Financial official stated, “We plan to expand opportunities for diverse exchanges and sharing of thoughts among group employees in the future,” adding, “Woori Financial Group aims to establish a unique corporate culture based on mutual trust as a ‘One Team.’”
