Woori Bank "Donates Suits to Job Seekers"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Bank announced that it will conduct a suit donation campaign titled ‘Our Youth, We Wear’ for two weeks starting from the 17th to ease the burden on job seekers who need to prepare expensive suits.

Woori Bank employees will donate clothing items such as suits, shirts, belts, and neckties to the nonprofit organization ‘Sadanbeop-in Yeollin Otjang’ (Open Closet Corporation), which will lend these clothes free of charge to job seekers preparing for interviews.

This donation campaign originated from a suggestion posted by an employee on the in-house communication board ‘Our Thoughts Sharing Place,’ created to foster a horizontal organizational culture through healthy communication after the inauguration of President Kwon Kwang-seok. The idea was to donate suits from employees’ wardrobes to young job seekers, following Woori Bank’s implementation of flexible dress code for employees since June to promote a creative and flexible corporate culture. The post quickly gained sympathy from many employees.

President Kwon said, “Anyone who has worked in a company will remember the earnestness of preparing for employment,” and added, “We hope the warm support of Woori Bank employees wishing for the successful employment of young job seekers will be conveyed.”
