[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] NCSoft has been named one of the "World's Best Employers" by the American economic magazine Forbes.

According to NCSoft on the 28th, it ranked 73rd, the highest among global game companies.

The "World's Best Employers" ranking is announced once every four years by Forbes and the market research firm Statista. This survey was conducted among 160,000 full-time and part-time employees across 58 countries. Participants rated companies based on whether they would recommend them to friends or family, economic footprint, talent development, gender equality, social responsibility, and other criteria.

NCSoft is regarded as a "dream workplace" in the gaming industry and is known for its excellent welfare benefits. A representative welfare program is "NC University," located at NCSoft's headquarters. On average, about 200 classes are offered annually both online and offline. Employees can take technical courses related to game planning, development, art, and more.

To ease employees' childcare burdens, NCSoft operates an in-house daycare center called "Utnunttangkok" (Smiling Peanut). "Utnunttangkok" has resident professional teachers, nurses, nutritionists, and cooks. In addition to the basic education curriculum provided by the government, the in-house dedicated department plans and develops curricula for English, Chinese, and other languages.

Among the welfare benefits, the in-house fitness center is especially popular with employees. Yoga, Pilates, and personal and group personal training (PT) programs are offered by day and time. NCSoft's headquarters also has a separate "Medical Center." A doctor is on staff, and the center is equipped with the latest medical devices such as spinal traction therapy machines, pain laser therapy devices, and physical therapy equipment.

The in-house cafeteria is also known as a "Pangyo gourmet spot." Various menus including Korean, Western, and snack foods are available at six different counters. Takeout is also possible.

Meanwhile, in July, NCSoft was selected as a "Korea's Top Job Company" by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. This system selects 100 excellent companies that have proactively improved the quality of jobs.
