SBA and Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service Sign MOU for 'SME Workers Workation Project'

Seoul Business Agency (SBA) signed a business agreement with the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service to jointly promote a workation project supporting the welfare of workers in small and medium-sized enterprises in Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The Seoul Business Agency (SBA) announced on the 26th that it has signed a joint business agreement with the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service to promote a workation project supporting the welfare of workers at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Seoul.

A workation is a regional stay-type work system that allows employees to work and rest simultaneously at vacation spots, which has become common as remote work became normalized due to COVID-19. Through this agreement, starting next year, workers at Seoul SMEs will be able to enjoy workation programs at 51 famous resort condos nationwide owned by the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service.

Since COVID-19, remote work and telecommuting have become common work styles and are increasingly recognized as welfare benefits. In particular, this type of work is becoming a major factor in job selection for the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z). In this context, SBA and the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service pursued this agreement, seeing it as a good example of linking their respective core projects to improve the welfare of workers at Seoul SMEs.

Kim Hyun-woo, CEO of SBA, stated, “By jointly promoting the workation project with the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, a foundation will be established for workers at Seoul SMEs to enjoy workations with their families in more regions. We expect that improving welfare levels for SME workers will enhance the image of SMEs, reduce welfare gaps with large corporations, increase corporate productivity in the short term, and promote the influx and settlement of the MZ generation in SMEs in the long term.”
