Seoul Facilities Corporation Introduces 'Smart Workstation' at Seoul World Cup Stadium and DDP Fashion Mall

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Facilities Corporation announced on the 5th that it will operate two new-concept workspaces called 'Smart Workstations' at Seoul World Cup Stadium and DDP Fashion Mall in preparation for the post-COVID era.

The Smart Workstations aim to secure business continuity and improve work efficiency through the on-tact work method that the corporation has been promoting. Based on an analysis of employees' residences and the use of existing work centers such as City Hall Station and Jamsil Station, new workstations were established at the World Cup Stadium and DDP Mall.

The Smart Workstations are remote work office spaces equipped with complete IT infrastructure, allowing employees to choose locations suited to their work style, such as independent or multi-use types, enabling proximity between home and work. This enhances work concentration and efficiency.

The Smart Workstation at Seoul World Cup Stadium is located on the 4th floor, covering an area of 200㎡ with 31 seats, while the one at DDP Fashion Mall covers 95㎡ with 13 seats. They can be used according to purpose, including independent '1-person rooms' for focused work, 'meeting rooms' for group discussions, and open 'multi-rooms.'

In particular, an 'I Love Kids Office' was also established where employees can work while bringing their young children. Children can spend time next to their parents' workspace enjoying VR experiences or playing with toys, which is especially useful when urgent childcare is needed during work.

The workstations have diverse uses. Besides basic work, they can be used for organizing tasks during business trips or as collaboration spaces between headquarters and field sites. Construction supervision staff can also use nearby Smart Workstations for administrative tasks or video conferences while working at construction sites. They will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Director Cho Sung-il said, “The introduction of Smart Workstations started from the idea of 'separated' work to ultimately provide uninterrupted citizen services,” and added, “We will strive to create an environment where employees can work smartly and efficiently to provide more valuable public services.”
