Ministry of Gender Equality and Family Conducts Pilot 'Gender Equality Organizational Culture Diagnosis' for Local Governments

Selection of Participating Organizations After Demand Survey by the 10th

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced on the 6th that it will conduct a pilot 'Gender Equality Organizational Culture Diagnosis' targeting local governments.

The Ministry will conduct a demand survey for local governments until the 10th, select participating institutions, and then diagnose organizational culture. Based on the pilot operation results, the diagnosis will be expanded to 17,000 public sector organizations, including central administrative agencies and public institutions.

Through administrative statistical data, surveys of members, and in-depth interviews, the gender-equal organizational culture of participating institutions will be diagnosed and analyzed. The diagnosis covers the overall status and members' perceptions regarding personnel system operation, gender-based job placement, gender work-life balance utilization, communication and cooperation attitudes among members, and prevention and response measures for sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Based on the diagnosis results, gender discrimination-related issues of participating institutions will be identified, and in-depth interviews will be conducted to collect field cases such as organizational culture practices. In the future, tailored advisory meetings involving experts, related departments, and gender policy specialists will discuss and derive improvement tasks and prepare detailed implementation plans for each task.

Jeong Young-ae, Minister of Gender Equality and Family, stated, "For a gender-equal organizational culture to be established, the commitment of the head of the institution and active participation of all members are important," adding, "We will cooperate with participating institutions and actively support them to diagnose organizational culture by institution and to improve gender-discriminatory personnel, systems, practices, and members' gender sensitivity."
