JobPlanet Introduces 'Hybrid Work System' Combining Remote and Office Work

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Job Planet, a corporate information platform, announced on the 27th that it has introduced a 'hybrid work system,' a work style that combines remote work and office attendance.

Job Planet has maintained remote work for the past two years due to COVID-19. Since the social distancing measures were lifted in May, employees have been able to choose between office attendance and remote work depending on the nature of their tasks, and this has now been formalized into a system.

According to a survey on work styles conducted last October among all Job Planet employees, over 90% responded that remote work was possible. Additionally, the biggest benefits of introducing remote work for employees were identified as ‘efficient use of time’ at 59.6%, ‘increased work efficiency and reduced actual working hours’ at 15.8%, and ‘enhanced loyalty to the company’ at 8.8%.

Job Planet allows employees to autonomously choose not only their work location but also their working hours. The company operates a ‘minute-based staggered commuting system’ where employees can freely choose their start and end times between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Furthermore, except for roles that require fixed seats due to the nature of the work, a flexible seating system has been introduced where seats can be used freely.

The continuous changes in Job Planet’s work style stem from an organizational culture that values active communication between the company and its members. As a leading domestic platform providing corporate information, Job Planet regularly checks employee evaluations of the company and gathers opinions to improve internal systems. Currently, a voluntary welfare task force team called the ‘Welfare TF’ has been formed to actively reflect employees’ opinions and demands in creating better welfare benefits. Among the welfare benefits highly appreciated by employees is the ‘Half Day,’ which allows employees to leave work after working only four hours on the last Friday of every month.

Hwang Heeseung, CEO of Job Planet, said, “Through experiencing COVID-19, we confirmed that work efficiency does not decline with remote work, and as demand from employees gradually increased, we decided to operate a hybrid work system. It is not a 100% perfect work system, and if there are more effective ways to work better during the operation process, we will try various changes.”

Meanwhile, Job Planet, which recently selected Mirae Asset Securities as its lead underwriter and is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) within the next 2 to 3 years, decided to grant stock options to all former employees who have worked for more than one year after completing the shareholders’ meeting in March this year.
