[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Lee Jeong-ae, President of LG Household & Health Care, emphasized 'communication' as the key topic in her first employee address after taking office.

According to LG Household & Health Care on the 7th, President Lee released her first greeting video through the company bulletin board and text messages sent to employees the previous afternoon, stating, "I believe what we need most right now is 'communication,'" and "I ask you to create an atmosphere where members can speak their minds without hesitation and to listen carefully to what they say."

To the leaders, she said, "Please share situations and information transparently, explain and persuade so that our members can understand, empathize, and unite their hearts," and to all organization members, "I ask you to open your hearts to understand things as they are rather than with negative prejudices or cynical attitudes, so that leaders can work harder on these efforts and establish them as a culture. I will make the first effort."

President Lee also urged leaders, "Please clearly define your responsibilities and authority, exercise your authority without losing rationality and objectivity, but place a bit more emphasis on responsibility and demonstrate leadership."

She continued, "I hope we all work with the thought of 'for myself' rather than 'for the company,'" adding, "Thinking that you work not for yourself but for the company or others causes loss of motivation and makes it difficult to feel fulfillment and satisfaction. I hope you find meaning and fulfillment through your work and also increase your market value."

She concluded, "I have a strong backing of 12,000 people, all of you," and said, "I will also be your backing. I believe that all of you will sincerely join me, and I will move forward unwaveringly while sincerely communicating with customers, consumers, and all of you."
