Hong Nampyo, Changwon Special City Mayor, Makes First Innovation Personnel Appointment in the 8th Local Government Term

Merit-Based Promotion Personnel, Total 254 Promoted Including 7 Grade 4 and 23 Grade 5
All 5 District Mayors Replaced, Focus on Resolving Conflicts After Local Elections

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Hong Nam-pyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, announced the promotion list for the second half of the year and personnel transfers for positions of grade 4 and above on the 12th to realize the vision of ‘Northeast Asia Central City Changwon’.

According to the city on the 12th, promotions were conducted based on ability and performance, with 7 people promoted to grade 4, 23 to grade 5, and 224 to grade 6 or below, totaling 254 promotions posted on the internal network. Personnel appointments were made for 11 people of grade 4 or above, including district mayors and heads of departments and offices.

The grade 4 promotions were largely awarded to department heads who are recognized for their abilities in departments closely related to citizens’ daily lives, such as economy and transportation, rather than administrative support departments.

By job series, there were 5 in administration, 1 in agriculture, and 1 in industry, totaling 7. To ensure a smooth landing of the 8th elected administration and organizational stability, personnel transfers of department and office heads were minimized.

Additionally, the district mayor appointments included transferring existing district mayors to other district mayor positions, replacing all five district mayors to heal conflicts among local residents following the local elections.

Mayor Hong said, “This personnel appointment is the first step to promote the 8th elected administration’s vision of ‘Northeast Asia Central City Changwon’ and the administrative goals of ‘Work, History, Thousand, Village’ (Il·Sa·Cheon·Ri). We will continue to actively select talented individuals who will lead a happy Changwon for its citizens.”

Meanwhile, future personnel transfers for grade 5 department heads and grade 6 or below employees are scheduled for the 15th and 25th, respectively.
