[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] On the 31st, Jeonnam Wando-gun announced that on the 28th, Wando County held a ‘Happy Talk’ event, a communication time between County Governor Shin Woo-cheol and 20 newly appointed public officials, at the county library’s Eoul Madang.

This ‘Happy Talk’ was the second session following the one on the 18th, and due to restrictions on the number of participants caused by COVID-19, it is planned to be held seven times targeting 130 newly appointed public officials.

The ‘Happy Talk’ with new public officials was initiated based on the recognition that communication with newly appointed officials, who will lead the county administration, is crucial amid a younger public service workforce with over 200 new appointments in the past five years and the many administrative changes required due to COVID-19 and other factors.

Governor Shin Woo-cheol comforted the staff for their efforts regarding remarkable achievements such as the upgrade of the Wando?Goheung coastal tourism road to a national highway, the attraction of the National Subtropical Arboretum, the 2023 Jeollanam-do Sports Competition, and the selection as the host for the 2024 Jeollanam-do Sports Festival for All, while listening attentively to the stories of the new public officials and engaging in communication.

Additionally, he conveyed messages of encouragement and support along with recommended books he personally selected.

A public official from the Water and Sewage Business Office, who has been appointed for 1 year and 5 months, said, “It was good to be able to freely talk about the experiences and difficulties felt while performing duties as a public official in a relaxed atmosphere.”

Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, “Although it was a small group, it was a meaningful time to communicate with the staff. It may be challenging as you have not been in public service for long, but I hope you do not lose your initial resolve, strive to provide better administrative services to the residents, and that your wisdom and capabilities will greatly contribute to the development of the county.”

The county plans to continuously provide opportunities for dialogue between the governor and staff, considering the COVID-19 situation, to foster a communicative and empathetic public service atmosphere.
