Recruitment Open Until May 31 for Companies Certified as Excellent Human Resource Development Institutions

If Selected, Benefit of Exemption from Regular Labor Inspections for 3 Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Employment and Labor have announced the '2021 Best HRD (Human Resource Development) Certification Project' and are accepting applications from the public and private sectors until May 31.

This project is a system that selects excellent companies and institutions that hire talent based on ability and provide continuous education and training opportunities to employees during their employment, granting certification for three years. Up to 2006, 1,324 companies have been certified.

Selected excellent institutions are exempt from regular labor inspections for three years and receive benefits such as training for responsible personnel.

This year, with the expansion of non-face-to-face culture due to COVID-19, the basic direction is to promote a "people-centered workplace culture where work and life coexist wisely," considering that workplace members can adapt appropriately to social changes.

In the private sector, evaluation indicators have been improved and reorganized, including the addition of non-face-to-face education indicators, and indicators for small and medium-sized enterprises have been simplified to encourage participation from excellent small and medium-sized enterprises.

To enhance the trust in certified companies, businesses that have been publicly listed for violating related laws cannot be certified as excellent institutions.

The government plans to select the final excellent institutions in September through document and on-site evaluations and certification committee reviews for the applying institutions.
