‘Changes in Public Office Culture Due to COVID-19’ Gwangju Seo-gu Holds Non-Face-to-Face Meeting

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Due to COVID-19, the culture of public offices is also shifting to non-face-to-face interactions.

Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 6th that it replaced the budget rapid execution briefing held on the 4th with a video conference.

Through the video conducted non-face-to-face, Seo Daeseok, the Seo-gu district mayor, as well as heads of various departments reported their budget rapid execution plans from their own seats.

This video conference, conducted using the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Onnara Ieum PC Video Conference System,' lasted about one hour.

Although video conferencing is not a new area, it is true that it is seen as a new meeting method in the bureaucratic and rigid culture of public offices.

The video conference system allows participants to conduct real-time one-on-one or multi-party meetings non-face-to-face, practicing social distancing while reducing the inconvenience caused by face-to-face meetings and improving work efficiency.

Seo Daeseok, Seo-gu district mayor, said, “We plan to expand video conferences in the future to save time and costs, reduce administrative effort, and enable rapid sharing of situations.”
