Kim Han-young, President of Airport Railroad Corporation

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Airport Railroad has passed the extension review of the '2020 Family-Friendly Certification Institution' organized by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, receiving re-certification following 2017.

The Family-Friendly Certification System is a program that grants certification to companies that serve as models in supporting childbirth and childcare, and fostering a family-friendly workplace culture, enabling employees to harmoniously balance family and work life.

Airport Railroad was highly evaluated for operating various systems that help employees maintain a balanced life between work and family. Representative examples include flexible working hours, maternity leave, reduced working hours during pregnancy, and pregnancy and childcare counseling (maternity protection system), among various childbirth encouragement programs.

In particular, as a railway operating organization with a high proportion of male workers, it actively supports male parental leave and spouse childbirth leave to encourage parents to participate practically in childcare together.

Additionally, Wednesday is designated as 'Family Day' to encourage employees to leave work on time and spend ample time with their families after work. Various activities such as hosting family invitation events and awarding long-term employees are also carried out.

Kim Han-young, President of Airport Railroad, said, "Helping employees balance their work and family life will increase their sense of belonging and satisfaction with the company and improve work efficiency," adding, "We will continue to implement practical systems and support in the future."
