Government Seeks Leisure-Friendly Certified Companies and Institutions
Support for Cultural Programs in Selection... Additional Points in Government Certification and Support Projects
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Regional Culture Promotion Agency are accepting applications for the Leisure-Friendly Certification until the 30th of next month. The Leisure-Friendly Certification is a system based on Article 16 of the "Framework Act on the Activation of National Leisure." It is awarded to companies and institutions that encourage workers to harmoniously balance work and leisure life.
The main evaluation criteria include securing and institutionalizing leisure time, supporting leisure activities, and organizational culture. Ten organizations with excellent scores will receive awards from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Director of the Regional Culture Promotion Agency. A Ministry of Culture official stated, "After document screening (July to August) and on-site inspections (August to September), we plan to announce the selected companies and institutions in October." They added, "An online briefing session will be held on the 2nd of next month." Detailed information on how to apply and the application forms can be found on the websites of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism or the Regional Culture Promotion Agency.
