[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Mokpo City (Mayor Kim Jongsik) conducted the regular personnel reshuffle for the first half of 2021 on the 14th.

According to the city, the first half regular personnel reshuffle involved a total of 451 people, including 101 promotions due to retirement and long service leave, 10 promotion approvals, and 305 transfers.

The city decided by comprehensively considering factors such as work performance, contribution to city administration, and balancing minority job series, focusing on the ranking of promotion candidates. It self-evaluated that it allocated promotions to related job series such as health and social welfare, which suffered from increased workload due to COVID-19 last year.

Meanwhile, last year, the city achieved the second-highest grade in comprehensive integrity among city-level units in Jeollanam-do in the Public Institution Integrity Evaluation by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission. Among these, in the civil servant personnel evaluation, which is assessed as internal integrity, the city demonstrated a model organizational culture of fair, performance-centered personnel management.

In particular, to successfully hold the ‘Mokpo Literature Expo,’ a key project of the city this year, and to smoothly promote strategic projects such as cultural city development, renewable energy projects, fisheries food industry, and tourism hub city projects, the city conducted selective personnel appointments to place capable personnel.

In this regular personnel reshuffle, the city showed its strong will for post-COVID-19 response by establishing an infectious disease response team for rapid COVID-19 response, and also established a child protection team to prevent child abuse, focusing on making Mokpo a safe and comfortable city for citizens.

A city official said, “Despite the sudden COVID-19 outbreak, we have gathered wisdom to overcome the crisis through operating screening clinics, special quarantine teams, and quarantine and management of overseas entrants.” He emphasized, “Now is the time to overcome COVID-19 and see the fruits of the major projects that Mokpo City has been promoting.”

He also pledged, “Through this personnel reshuffle, we will pioneer the ‘Era of Great Mokpo, the Center of Peace Economy’ by solidly promoting the three strategic industries to secure Mokpo’s future food sources and various pending projects.”
