Namwon-si Produces Expectant Mother Notification Boards for Pregnant Public Officials

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City, Jeonbuk (Mayor Ihwanju) announced on the 20th that it has taken steps to create a workplace environment conducive to having children by producing a "Expectant Mother Notification Board" to protect and accommodate pregnant public officials from malicious civil complaints.

The Expectant Mother Notification Board is placed at civil complaint counters or on desks, with the front side displaying the phrase "I am an expectant mother" to inform visitors that the staff member is pregnant, thereby encouraging them to refrain from verbal abuse and prolonged complaint handling.

The back side is inscribed with a kindness pledge phrase to encourage visitors to provide more courteous responses to civil complaints.

In addition, the city is promoting amendments to the service regulations to allow male public officials, whose spouses are pregnant, to take special leave when accompanying their spouses to hospital check-ups, in order to respond to any emergencies that may arise during the examination process.

Ryu Heungseong, Director of the Administrative Support Division, said, "We hope that these policies encouraging childbirth in the workplace will serve as a good precedent and spread to the private sector, contributing to making Namwon City a great place to have and raise children."
