[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Department Store Duty Free announced on the 28th that it has been selected as a 'Job Excellence Company' for two consecutive years, hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Hyundai Department Store Duty Free stated that it was recognized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor for contributing to the creation of quality jobs and establishing a work environment that allows work-life balance, and was selected as a '2021 Job Excellence Company.'

Now in its fourth year, the 'Job Excellence Company' program is a system where the Ministry of Employment and Labor discovers candidate companies based on employment insurance database analysis and public recommendations, ultimately selecting 100 companies. Selected companies receive a certificate of recognition in the name of the President and benefits such as policy fund support and tax credits.

A Hyundai Department Store Duty Free official explained, "Efforts to improve the working environment for female employees, including family care leave, half-day leave system, one paid health leave per month, support for infertility treatment expenses, and safe return home services, as well as guaranteeing job security for employees despite the prolonged COVID-19 situation and not implementing unpaid leave or salary reduction leave systems, led to positive evaluations."

The official added, "We will continue to strive to create quality jobs and a work environment that satisfies our employees."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Department Store Duty Free was recognized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor at the end of last year for contributing to national industrial development through job creation, including a 155% increase in the number of executives and employees over the past two years, and received the Minister of Employment and Labor Award in the job creation support category at the '2020 Government Awards for Job Creation Contributions.'
