HanmiGlobal Selected as '2021 Korea's Top Job-Creating Company'

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] HanmiGlobal, a global construction project management (PM) specialist company, announced on the 28th that it has been selected as a ‘2021 Korea Job Excellence Company’ by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

The ‘Korea Job Excellence Company’ is a system in which the Ministry of Employment and Labor selects and rewards companies that have contributed to employment and job creation. HanmiGlobal received high evaluations in categories such as ▲work-life balance, ▲family-friendly organizational culture, and ▲youth employment creation.

Under the slogan “Happy members create excellent companies,” HanmiGlobal operates various systems. A representative example is the sabbatical leave implemented since 2006. Employees with 10 years of service (5 years for executives) are granted two months of paid leave. During this period, support is also provided for ‘living abroad for one month.’ When exploring a foreign country based on one of the themes of architecture, culture, arts, or city, overseas stay expenses of 3 million KRW per person are supported.

The company actively encourages parental leave. Upon childbirth, employees are required to take six consecutive months of leave, including maternity leave and parental leave. Parental leave can be used for up to two years per child, exceeding the legal standard. Regardless of the number of children, childcare expenses and university tuition fees are also supported.

HanmiGlobal is also leading efforts to provide jobs for youth. Since 2018, the internship system has been abolished, and all hires are made as regular employees, with new employee recruitment expanding every year over the past three years. Additionally, the company pays attention to hiring women with career interruptions, persons with disabilities, and older workers, providing opportunities for vulnerable groups to work.

Kim Hae-jin, head of HanmiGlobal’s HR team, said, “HanmiGlobal has considered various measures to practice happiness management where members can enjoy their work,” and added, “We will continue to create a family-friendly work environment reflecting generational changes among members and expand new job creation.”
