[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Yuhan Corporation was recognized as an excellent company for gender equality in employment in 2022 and received the Prime Minister's Commendation.

Yuhan Corporation announced on the 30th that it received the Prime Minister's Commendation at the '22nd Employment Equality Contribution Awards Ceremony' hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 27th. The Employment Equality Contribution Award is given by the government to honor companies that have contributed to spreading social awareness of employment equality in the industrial field and establishing a culture of work-life balance.

Yuhan Corporation was recognized for its efforts such as operating various systems to support the long-term employment of female workers, including an increasing ratio of female employees and female managers every year, and employment retention rates after maternity leave and return rates after parental leave that exceed the averages of large corporations, small and medium enterprises, and public institutions.

Additionally, it was acknowledged for operating fair recruitment systems such as external document screening by outside organizations, blind interviews, and interviewers signing anti-corruption pledges, along with personnel systems that ensure non-discriminatory evaluation and compensation. Furthermore, the company continuously strives to help employees balance work and family life through various childcare support systems such as hiring substitute workers during parental leave, workplace daycare centers, and tuition support for employees' children, as well as various flexible work systems and paid leave exceeding legal standards.

A Yuhan Corporation official stated, "We will continue to inherit and develop the founding spirit of the late Dr. Yuil Han, the founder, who believed that 'everyone engaged in the company is a single community of destiny through corporate activities,' and practice Yuhan's unique true sustainable management to create a world where everyone is healthy and happy."
