Hyundai Motor Securities Releases 16 In-house Messenger Emoticons to Enhance Employee Communication

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Hyundai Motor Securities announced on the 23rd that it has released 16 types of emoticons that can be used on the in-house messenger ‘H-Talk’.

The in-house messenger ‘H-Talk’ was introduced as part of Hyundai Motor Securities’ ‘Work Style Improvement 1.0 Project’ conducted at the end of last year. It allows communication via mobile devices without restrictions of time and space, making it actively used especially by sales departments with a high proportion of fieldwork. Additionally, it includes trendy messenger platform features such as ‘shake chat window’ and ‘capture function,’ receiving high praise from employees.

This release of in-house messenger emoticons is part of the ‘Work Style Improvement 2.0 Project,’ along with the ‘Meeting Collaboration Tool System.’ Beyond simple emojis like facial expressions in existing messengers, these emoticons were created to suit various situations that may occur during work, enhancing diversity and practicality. They also utilized Hyundai Motor Securities’ character ‘Leo’ as animated emoticons (GIFs) to contribute to building a horizontal communication culture.

For the emoticon production, a company-wide contest was held on themes such as work, personnel, and emotional expression, receiving a total of 164 ideas. Among them, 16 types with the highest votes were finally selected through a company-wide vote. Included were many emoticons targeting the preferences of the MZ generation, such as ‘NOPE’ and ‘Kingbatne,’ attracting employees’ attention.

Han Seokhee, Executive Director of Hyundai Motor Securities’ GWP Office, said, “These in-house messenger emoticons were created to embody the organizational culture values that Hyundai Motor Securities pursues, such as ‘Trust,’ ‘Pride,’ and ‘Fun.’ We will continue to strengthen communication to create a workplace where employees want to work.”
