POSCO Energy Overcomes COVID Blue Through Ontact Communication

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] POSCO Energy is comforting the hearts of employees exhausted by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) by newly preparing Ontact (online non-face-to-face communication) programs such as the 'Online Humanities Power Plant.'

The Humanities Power Plant is POSCO Energy's unique humanities lecture program that simultaneously means 'a humanities lecture by a power generation company' and 'developing capabilities through various lectures.'

POSCO Energy established the communication program called 'Humanities Power Plant' last year to build an organizational culture of consideration and respect that communicates with an open mind. The Humanities Power Plant has been held monthly with topics that can attract employees' interests, such as classical music, history, wine, and photography, becoming not only a humanities consensus but also a new communication platform.

POSCO Energy has upgraded the existing Humanities Power Plant to an Ontact format using remote video conferencing apps, called the 'Online Humanities Power Plant.' The Online Humanities Power Plant started from employees' ideas on how to wisely experience the sentiment of travel and cultural life despite COVID-19.

The first lecture of the Online Humanities Power Plant was conducted as ‘Art & Travel (Travel Becomes Art),’ introducing the locations behind the world-famous masterpieces of renowned painters. In particular, it was designed so that not only employees working from home due to COVID-19 but also their families could freely participate.

Jung Ki-seop, CEO of POSCO Energy, said, "I believe that creating a happy workplace for employees, who are the main agents of practicing the corporate citizenship management philosophy, is the most important thing." He added, "We will create an organizational culture of consideration and respect so that employees can fully demonstrate their capabilities and achieve work-life balance, supporting them to wisely overcome COVID-19."

Going forward, POSCO Energy plans to expand the Humanities Power Plant into POSCO Energy's representative communication program by reflecting various opinions from employees.
