[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Chosun Hotel & Resort announced on the 24th that it received the Presidential Citation (organization) in the Job Creation Support Division at the '2021 Job Creation Merit Government Award Ceremony' held at the Government Sejong Convention Center on the 23rd.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor annually discovers meritorious individuals or organizations that have played a leading role in expanding employment and creating good jobs, and conducts government awards for job creation merit.

Chosun Hotel & Resort stated that it was the only recipient of the Presidential Citation in the hotel industry. Based on the 107-year history and heritage of Chosun Hotel, which opened in 1914, it has played a symbolic role in attracting major domestic and international events and developing the hotel tourism industry in Korea, contributing to the creation of quality jobs related to the Korean hotel service industry.

Chosun Hotel & Resort was the first in the hotel industry to be selected for two consecutive years as a 'Korea Job Excellence Company' hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and was also selected as an excellent family-friendly company by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2019. Starting with the opening of 'Grand Chosun Busan' in October last year, it consecutively opened a total of five business sites including 'Four Points by Sheraton Chosun, Seoul Myeongdong,' 'Gravity Seoul Pangyo, Autograph Collection,' 'Grand Chosun Jeju,' and 'Chosun Palace Seoul Gangnam, Luxury Collection Hotel,' creating employment opportunities for youth.

About 75% of the total new hires over the past two years were young people. Various campaigns to improve work culture were also introduced, such as entry-level training for young workers, awareness improvement training for managerial positions, and operation of focused working hours. Through fixed-term internship recruitment with the premise of conversion to regular employment, performance evaluations for interns were conducted twice a year, and opportunities to participate in regular employment conversion interviews were provided. As of the end of 2020, female employees accounted for 47% of the total workforce, and in 2021, female executives accounted for 21%, showing efforts to foster female leaders.

Han Chaeyang, CEO of Chosun Hotel & Resort, said, "We are very grateful that Chosun Hotel & Resort is the only one in the hotel industry to receive the Presidential Citation in the Job Creation Support Division," and added, "We will continue to create a desirable work culture so that it can be a workplace where people can work more happily."
