[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Daesang announced on the 23rd that it has been selected as one of the 'Best Workplaces in Korea 2022,' organized by GPTW, a global corporate culture research firm.

Daesang stated that it was chosen as one of the 'Best Workplaces in Korea' and 'Best Workplaces for Working Moms in Korea' due to its corporate culture that pursues work-life balance. GPTW is an institution that researches trust management jointly with over 97 countries worldwide, including the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Japan. Since 2002, it has selected the 'Top 100 Best Workplaces in Korea,' marking its 20th year this year.

Daesang said it has consistently strived to create a good workplace culture under the belief that "employee happiness is the foundation of sustainable management." It operates various organizational culture programs that can practically help create an excellent workplace with a creative organizational culture.

To realize a "life with evenings," Daesang introduced the "on-time leaving system" in 2009 and has reflected the on-time leaving practice index in the evaluation of each department. Since 2018, it has fostered an on-time leaving culture by implementing the PC-OFF system, which forcibly shuts down PCs at leaving time. Additionally, to encourage vacation use, it grants four days of annual leave in addition to regular annual leave and mandates a long-term refresh system that allows employees to take at least five days of long-term leave beyond the annual leave.

Family-friendly policies are also in place to provide an optimal work environment for working moms and working dads. Apart from maternity leave, a prenatal unpaid leave system supports employees' childbirth and childcare, and paternity leave is guaranteed for male employees. For employee convenience, workplace daycare centers operate at the Jongno office in Seoul and the Gunsan factory, and a daycare center is planned to open at the research institute scheduled to open in Magok, Seoul.

To enhance employee welfare, Daesang operates various systems and facilities, including various awards and gifts, health promotion support programs, and separate rest areas for men and women. Daesang has been certified as a family-friendly company since 2017 in recognition of these achievements.

Lim Jeong-bae, CEO of Daesang, said, "We believe that employee happiness is the source of sustainable management, and our efforts to create a happy workplace have been recognized. Going forward, we will strive to realize the true value of mutual growth by aiming for the satisfaction of not only employees but also customers, partners, and local communities."
