Previously, the district conducted a first-round evaluation by the working committee on five criteria?▲ citizen perception ▲ importance and difficulty of work ▲ proactiveness ▲ creativity and expertise ▲ potential for dissemination?targeting employees recommended by each department and neighborhood office for proactive administration cases, and then selected the final three through the personnel committee review.

In the second half of this year, the district plans to discover and award ‘Outstanding Proactive Public Officials’ focusing on specific cases that demonstrate active work efforts, aiming to increase employees’ proactiveness and further spread the culture of proactive administration.

Yu Deok-yeol, mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “Most employees try to perform their duties proactively, but often the system or other conditions do not support them,” and added, “We will work to improve the obstacles that hinder employees from carrying out proactive administration.”
