[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] CJ ENM Commerce Division announced on the 16th that it has received the Family-Friendly Company Certification, hosted by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. CJ ENM Commerce Division first received the certification in 2012 and will maintain it through 2024.

The Family-Friendly Certification is a system where the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family grants certification to companies or institutions that exemplary operate family-friendly systems through evaluation. CJ ENM Commerce Division explained that it was finally selected as a family-friendly certified company by scoring high in leadership from top management, implementation of family-friendly systems, and satisfaction with family-friendly management.

It was evaluated that the atmosphere of balancing work and family life has become widespread, with the parental leave usage rate of female employees with children under 8 years old exceeding 90%, and the paternity leave usage rate reaching 100%. In addition to encouraging the free use of legal systems, CJ ENM Commerce Division operates various systems by developing additional family-friendly systems through consultations with the Hanmaeum Council (labor-management council), such as granting male employees fetal examination leave and three days of special leave for spouse’s similar childbirth. Above all, last year, it invested about 10 billion KRW near the Seocho-gu headquarters building to newly open a standalone workplace daycare center with a total capacity of 120 people and four floors. It is known that the satisfaction of employees using the facility is high, as it provides an optimal childcare environment including a rooftop garden, underground play facilities, and native speaker special activities.

A CJ ENM Commerce Division official said, "As of 2020, the proportion of female employees in CJ ENM Commerce Division is about 55%, which is significantly higher compared to the average female employee ratio of early 20% in domestic large companies," and added, "We will continue to actively implement various family-friendly policies to help employees balance work and family life."
