[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] On the 24th, Lee Jae-yong, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, visited the Global Engineering Center (GEC) at the Samsung Engineering headquarters and did not forget to visit the company cafeteria and the on-site daycare center. Since the special pardon on Liberation Day, Vice Chairman Lee has been expanding his on-site management activities and is making efforts to increase open communication with employees.


On that day, Vice Chairman Lee visited the Samsung Engineering headquarters located in Sangil-dong, Gangdong-gu, where he received reports from Samsung Engineering President Choi Sung-an and executives from Samsung Engineering and Samsung C&T Construction Division on ▲ the current status of Samsung's EPC business ▲ progress of overseas engineering projects in the Middle East and the Americas ▲ eco-friendly business promotion strategies ▲ global market trends, and discussed mid- to long-term strategies.


He also did not forget communication with employees.


About 800 employees welcomed Vice Chairman Lee’s visit at the Samsung Engineering headquarters that day. Before the meeting, Vice Chairman Lee visited the cafeteria and chose "Nagoya-style Maze-donburi" as the lunch menu, continuing his communication with employees. Maze-donburi is a Japanese-style mixed rice bowl with spicy sauce, stir-fried meat, and vegetables. Vice Chairman Lee responded to each employee’s request for photos while they waited in front of the cafeteria. Amid the flood of photo requests, Samsung Engineering President Choi Sung-an acted as a “one-day cameraman” and took commemorative photos.



Vice Chairman Lee also visited the on-site daycare center to check on its operation and encouraged the childcare teachers. Visiting the daycare center attended by about 100 children aged 1 to 5, Vice Chairman Lee talked with the children by asking questions like "Which company do your mom and dad work for?" and then asked the daycare teachers broad questions about the daycare’s operation status, how employees use the facility, and parental leave.
