IBK CEO Yoon Jong-won Emphasizes 'Communication' in Online Talk with New Employees

Real-time Online Chat with New Employees in Training
"Become IBK Members Who Prioritize Customers and Strictly Adhere to Laws and Ethics"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Yoon Jong-won, President of IBK Industrial Bank, continued his communication efforts by meeting with new employees.

IBK Industrial Bank announced on the 10th that President Yoon held a real-time online conversation session with new employees undergoing training remotely.

Despite the COVID-19 situation, IBK Industrial Bank expanded its recruitment scale compared to the first half of last year and hired about 250 new employees to support youth employment. To enhance their work capabilities, the bank has been conducting a six-week online training program from August until this week.

President Yoon personally explained IBK’s role in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, its growth background, and current challenges, urging the new employees to “continuously develop their skills to become talents necessary for IBK to lead innovative finance and pioneer new financial territories.” He added, “In an era where maintaining the basics is a competitive advantage,” emphasizing, “Please become IBK members who prioritize customers and strictly adhere to laws and ethics.”

He also said, “Let’s build a ‘capable bank’ by developing skills and expertise in various fields, and create a ‘dignified bank’ through teamwork and harmony.”

Not forgetting advice as a life senior rather than just a bank president, Yoon said, “I hope you become ‘thoughtful people who are strict with themselves and considerate of others’ and grow into excellent financial professionals and members of society. A balance between work and life through exercise and reading is essential,” and he gifted a bookstand.

Since the beginning of his tenure, President Yoon has emphasized communication with employees. He visits branches to meet and talk directly with staff, and through ‘communication postcards,’ employees can freely express their opinions, to which President Yoon personally responds via the bank’s intranet.

An IBK Industrial Bank official said, “President Yoon has a strong will for sincere and informal communication regardless of rank or job,” adding, “This conversation with new employees also reflects President Yoon’s intention.”
