Jeonnam Province Launches 'Tailored Education for Senior Officials' to Establish Gender-Equal Organizational Culture
[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 26th that it conducted customized violence prevention education for high-ranking public officials, including agency heads, to establish a mutually respectful gender-equal organizational culture.
The education was attended by Governor Kim Young-rok, Deputy Governor Moon Geum-ju, Deputy Governor for Political Affairs Park Chang-hwan, and about 30 heads of departments and bureaus.
Yang Dong-ok, director of the Korea Gender Culture Research Institute and a specialist instructor in violence prevention education, lectured on cases of sexual harassment among high-ranking officials, the meaning of gender sensitivity, the responsibilities of agency heads and managers and prevention of secondary damage, and practical measures to create a gender-equal working environment.
Governor Kim Young-rok said, “The values and roles of high-ranking officials are very important for establishing a gender-equal organizational culture,” and added, “Through this education, we will strengthen gender awareness capabilities and do our best to create a safe organizational culture.”
Since last year, it has been mandatory to conduct separate customized education for high-ranking officials such as heads of central administrative agencies and local governments, and Jeonnam Province has been conducting separate education for high-ranking officials following last year.
