[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwi-yeol] Creating future food sources is the goal of the personnel appointments.


The personnel appointments reflecting the innovative will of Kwon Ki-chang, the newly inaugurated 8th-term mayor of Andong, are drawing attention.


The personnel direction is a two-track strategy that includes a mid- to long-term plan to prepare future food sources for Andong and a short-term plan to provide small changes and impressions to citizens through immediate resolution of civil complaints.


Mayor Kwon explained that he harmonized selective appointments placing talents in the right positions with stable personnel moves where employees work diligently in their given roles and gradually move to other positions.


As a mid- to long-term strategy, a joint external cooperation office for Andong City and Yecheon County will be established in Sejong City, and the AI Innovation Strategy Team will be reorganized into the Future Strategy Planning Team centered on a special policy advisor to develop future food source strategies. To make Andong a tourist city that people want to visit again, a large number of excellent personnel were recruited.


As a short-term strategy, the civil complaint team was strengthened to reduce repeat visits by complainants and minimize document submissions, and the organization and personnel for recreating urban spaces that citizens can feel were also reorganized.


In this personnel appointment, employees who eased the workload of social welfare officials through welfare system improvements and promoted convenience for civil complaints, as well as those proficient in foreign languages and with experience working in large corporations, were assigned to frontline positions.



Mayor Kwon Ki-chang said, “Civil servants must be happy for citizens to be happy. We will build a personnel system that places excellent talents in the right positions so they can fully demonstrate their abilities and provide better administrative services to citizens.”
