"Employees Decide Their Own Working Hours"... Hyundai ENG Introduces Flexible Working Hours System

Hyundai Engineering Headquarters Building

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Hyundai Engineering announced on the 30th that it will introduce a 'flexible working hours system' starting from the 1st of next month, allowing employees to decide their own working hours. The flexible working hours system is a type of flexible work arrangement where the start and end times of work are determined by the employee.

Accordingly, employees can freely adjust their working hours between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. However, a 'core time' (mandatory working hours) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be applied, during which all employees work together. The average working hours must comply with 8 hours per day based on a monthly standard.

Hyundai Engineering previously conducted a preliminary test of the flexible working hours system with some employees and developed the current system based on the results. A Hyundai Engineering official stated, "Since 88% of our employees are engineers in science and technology fields, and 53% belong to the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z), we expect that a free and flexible work environment will further enhance employees' work efficiency."
