The Balanced Personnel Performance Sharing Conference has been held annually since 2019 to share best practices of balanced personnel management among central government ministries, local governments, and public institutions, and to enhance government-wide awareness of balanced personnel management.

At this conference, Gyeongnam Province was highly evaluated in achieving the appointment target rate for female public officials in managerial positions of grade 5 or higher and in the employment performance of disabled public officials, leading to its selection as an excellent institution.

The province raised the proportion of female public officials in managerial positions of grade 5 or higher to 18.7% as of the end of last year to realize practical gender equality within the public service, and employed disabled persons at 3.57% of the total number of general public officials, complying with the legal standard of 3.4% or higher.

This year, it signed a business agreement with the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled and is actively supporting disabled public officials to fully demonstrate their capabilities by deploying work assistants to facilitate the smooth work performance of severely disabled public officials.

Park Il-dong, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, said, "Gyeongsangnam-do will continue to strive to realize social values through proactive balanced personnel policies."
