CJ Logistics, "Work Hours My Way"... Introducing the 'Smart Choice Work System'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] CJ Logistics is changing the way it works by introducing the ‘Smart Flexible Working Hours System.’ By implementing an innovative work system that allows employees to flexibly adjust their working hours according to their job characteristics and lifestyle, the company aims to increase work immersion while maintaining work-life balance, achieving two goals at once.

CJ Logistics announced that it will implement the ‘Smart Flexible Working Hours System’ starting from the 1st, which allows employees to autonomously distribute their working hours within the total monthly working hours. This system applies to all domestic office workers except for some positions that require constant on-call duties.

With the introduction of the flexible working hours system, CJ Logistics employees can now adjust their working hours autonomously within the total monthly working hours. For example, in the case of working 8 hours a day for 22 days a month, employees can freely adjust their daily start and end times or total weekly working hours within the monthly total of 176 hours. If overtime work is needed at the end of the month due to tasks such as accounting closing, employees can work more during that period and compensate by taking time off on other working days.

It is also possible to work more than 2 hours from Monday to Thursday and take consecutive days off from Friday through the weekend, enabling a four-day workweek. The system is especially efficient for projects or task forces that require concentrated work during specific periods or for fixed long working hours during monthly deadlines. The flexible working hours system is regarded as an innovative HR system that goes a step further in flexibility compared to staggered working hours or traditional flexible work schedules.

Lee Jung-hyun, Head of HR Support at CJ Logistics, emphasized, “The Smart Flexible Working Hours System is a system that maximizes creativity and efficiency beyond fixed and habitual work styles. We will continue to strive to transform into a flexible and agile organization with an innovative organizational culture.”
