Seoul Euljiro Hana Bank Headquarters

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Hana Bank announced on the 27th that it has carried out the 2022 organizational restructuring and executive personnel changes aimed at streamlining the organization and strengthening core growth sectors to expand collaboration synergy.

The organization was streamlined considering similar functions and synergies. The existing structure of 16 groups, 21 headquarters/divisions, and 60 sections was optimized to 13 groups, 26 headquarters/divisions, and 55 sections. Through this, communication and collaboration systems will be strengthened, and synergy will be maximized with an organic and efficient organization.

Organizational restructuring was also implemented to strengthen the bank’s core growth sectors. To concentrate sales capabilities and enhance execution power, a new 'Sales Group' was established, and the existing domestic sales headquarters were abolished. The previous three-tier structure (Collaboration Group - Sales Headquarters - Regional Sales Group) was reduced to two tiers (Collaboration Group - Sales Group).

The Asset Management Group was expanded and reorganized. To strengthen competitiveness in the bank’s core business area of asset management, the Asset Management Group was expanded to consist of four headquarters: WM Headquarters, Pension Business Headquarters, Trust Business Headquarters, and Investment Products Headquarters.

Within the Digital Retail Group, a new ‘DT (Digital Transformation) Innovation Headquarters’ was established to strengthen the control tower function for Hana Bank’s digital transformation.

This is a measure to realize 'Digital First,' one of the key initiatives for next year. Through innovation in talent, technology, organization, and corporate culture?the core foundations of successful digital transformation?it is expected to implement a market-leading platform business model and contribute to expanding an open ecosystem.

Within the Brand Headquarters, the 'Brand Strategy Section' was separated and operated independently from the Public Relations Section to professionalize organizational operations.

Additionally, through this organizational restructuring, Hana Bank decided to spread a customer-centric platform organization for horizontal organization and work style innovation. The previously hierarchical organization under one headquarters with sections and units was reorganized within the platform organization to consist only of units without sections.

In particular, female talent was actively promoted, placing female leaders with expertise and leadership in key positions. The bank utilized the female talent pool from Hana Financial Group’s next-generation female leader development program ‘Hana Waves,’ which recently graduated its first cohort. Among the 34 graduates of the first ‘Hana Waves’ cohort, 22 were female talents affiliated with the bank, including Park Young-mi, Head of the Customer Happiness Headquarters, and Ko Geum-ran, Head of the Sales Support Headquarters, who were appointed as female headquarters heads.

Including Kim So-jung, Vice President of the Digital Experience Headquarters, Lee In-young, Executive Director of the Consumer Protection Group, and Kim Mi-sook, Head of the Pension Business Headquarters, Hana Bank has a total of five female executives and headquarters heads. All of them were born in the 1970s. By placing young leaders with innovative mindsets and expertise at the forefront, the organization has been invigorated.

Furthermore, to strengthen field-centered sales capabilities, promotions to headquarters heads were made for branch managers with excellent performance in the field, with a total of 17 promoted to headquarters heads.

A Hana Bank official said, "By establishing a response system to prepare for the new decade, we plan to strengthen customer-centric management and enhance the value of all stakeholders including customers, shareholders, employees, and the community, thereby laying the foundation for growth together with them."
