[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO) has been re-certified as a ‘Family-Friendly Excellent Company’ by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

According to KOMSCO on the 16th, the certification is a system in which the government selects and supports institutions that exemplarily operate family-friendly policies to promote the creation of a family-friendly social environment.

KOMSCO received its first certification in 2013 and has now been certified for the third time. The re-certification is valid for three years.

Currently, KOMSCO is implementing family-friendly management programs such as a flexible work system for work-life balance (Work-Life Balance), the ‘Eoyeoga (歌)’ broadcast encouraging on-time departure, the ‘Summer Mountain, Field, and Breeze Campaign’ to establish a healthy vacation culture, Family Coming Day, child education support programs, operation of workplace daycare centers, employee counseling systems, and distribution of the lifecycle guideline booklet ‘Kind Family Handbook’.

In particular, the rate of male parental leave usage reaches 53.2%, the rate of spouses taking more than 10 days of childbirth leave is 86.7%, the return-to-work rate after parental leave for both men and women is 100%, and the employment retention rate after pre- and postnatal leave is 100%, all significantly exceeding the public institution average in family-friendly indicators.

KOMSCO President Ban Jang-sik said, “Family-friendly management plays an important role in increasing employees’ job satisfaction and sense of belonging,” adding, “We will continue to implement various programs to create a people-centered workplace.”
