Polaris Office Introduces COVID-19 Vaccine Leave... "Establishing Advanced Corporate Culture Based on Collaboration System"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Polaris Office, a company specializing in office software, announced on the 3rd that it has been providing a 2-day vaccine leave to all employees receiving the COVID-19 vaccine since the beginning of this month. Employees who have been vaccinated can take two days off, including the day of vaccination and the following day, regardless of any adverse reactions.

The government introduced the 'vaccine leave' system last April, but since it is a recommendation rather than a mandate, the system was mainly adopted by large corporations. Polaris Office decided to proactively implement the system as a small and medium-sized enterprise to enhance employee welfare.

A Polaris Office representative stated, “Following the government’s recommendation on the vaccine leave system, we quickly implemented the system so that employees can freely receive the vaccine and take leave without worrying about work.” They added, “As a leading cloud-based office software company, we are striving to establish an advanced corporate culture suited to the untact era by expanding flexible work arrangements after COVID-19.”

They continued, “We have established a collaborative tool system that enables non-face-to-face and remote work, fostering a highly productive organizational culture,” and added, “By introducing various welfare systems that maximize employees’ work efficiency, we support ‘Work-Life Balance (WLB).”

Polaris Office was selected as an ‘Excellent Company Utilizing Telecommuting’ by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in June last year, and in December, it received the ‘2020 Minister of Employment and Labor Commendation for Work-Life Balance.’ They enhanced the efficiency of non-face-to-face work by building a collaborative tool system based on their proprietary office software, ‘Polaris Office.’ They are expanding flexible work systems such as rotational telecommuting and staggered working hours, abolishing hierarchical ranks, introducing various leave systems, and participating in the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s Work-Life Balance campaign, thereby establishing an innovative corporate culture.
