As of December last year, 50% of executives, 76.5% of mid-level managers including team leaders with expertise, and 100% of on-site managers with professional qualifications such as nutritionists, totaling 92.9% of all managers, are women. Through the implementation of proactive female employment policies, the company has overcome gender discrimination and established itself as a women-friendly company. It enables continuous recruitment of female talent by discovering professional female talents and building a talent database.

Furthermore, 54.6% of the total workforce is aged 50 or older, contributing to employment stability in response to an aging society. In particular, employees maintaining employment after the retirement age of 60 account for 15.8% of all workers, showing special efforts to ensure the economic stability of the socially vulnerable elderly.

LSC Food is also committed to the independence of people with disabilities. Since the second half of 2017, it has actively recruited people with disabilities through business agreements (MOU) and collaboration with the Seoul Developmental Disability Training Center under the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled and Seongmin Welfare Center.

As a result, the number of employees with disabilities increased by 150%, from only 6 as of the end of October 2017 to 15 as of the end of December last year. Due to these efforts, the company received the Excellent Employer for Disabled Employment certification from the Ministry of Employment and Labor in 2019.
