Woori Bank Takes Retirement Measures Against Fraudulent Hires Related to Recruitment Corruption and Conducts Special Hiring

Preferential Treatment Planned for Socially Considerate Groups to Enhance Bank Trust and Fulfill Social Responsibility

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Woori Bank announced on the 2nd that it conducted retirement measures at the end of February for employees who were fraudulently hired in connection with recruitment irregularities, and plans to hold a special recruitment in March as part of relief measures for victims of the recruitment irregularities.

The total number of fraudulently hired employees related to the Supreme Court's final ruling on recruitment irregularities at Woori Bank is 20, of whom 12 voluntarily resigned. Based on legal review of measures for fraudulently hired employees, Woori Bank took retirement measures at the end of February for the remaining 8 fraudulently hired employees.

Meanwhile, Woori Bank also reviewed relief measures for victims of recruitment irregularities but stated that it is difficult to provide direct relief to those who failed the recruitment at the time as the victims could not be specifically identified.

A Woori Bank official said, "As part of relief for victims at the time, we plan to conduct a special recruitment of 20 people in March, separate from the originally planned recruitment quota," adding, "Through this special recruitment, we will give preference to socially considerate groups such as low-income families and strive to enhance the bank's credibility and fulfill social responsibility."
