[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Kim Yong-moon, President of the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development, operated 'Sohwajae' on the 16th to promote harmony among employees and create a communication culture that spans generations.

Sohwajae means 'a fun space for communication and harmony among employees.' It is a communication program that adds the meaning of space and fun to 'Sohwagi (a dialogue with the head of the institute for communication and harmony),' which was promoted until last year.

This Sohwajae was attended by Junior Board members, who are at the center of management innovation. They delivered vivid management innovation ideas through a talk box.

Among them, the idea regarding 'adjustment of delegated decision-making authority' to activate flexible working hours received a firm response from President Kim Yong-moon, who said, "We will implement it immediately."

Making use of the characteristic meaning of the place in Sohwajae, free communication continued on the terrace located in the new office building, allowing sincere and candid conversations among employees.

President Kim said, "We will continue to share hearts among employees through various communication channels of the institute and maintain empathetic communication that embraces all generations."

Meanwhile, the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development is operating 15 programs, including Sohwajae, to foster an innovative communication culture.
