Gwangjin-gu Holds ‘1st Gwangjin Mentoring Program Matching Ceremony’

35 Senior Employees with Over 5 Years of Service and 35 New Employees Appointed Since January

On the 3rd, Mentors and Mentees Matched 1:1 Using MBTI, Enjoyed Games and Quizzes Together

Supports New Employees’ Organizational Adaptation and Job Skill Improvement, Promotes Communication Between Seniors and Juniors

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) held the ‘1st Gwangjin Mentoring Program Matching Ceremony’ on the 3rd to foster organizational harmony and vibrant internal communication.

The ‘Gwangjin Mentoring Program,’ launched for the first time this year, was initiated to help new employees adapt to the organization, improve their job skills, and activate communication between senior and junior staff.

Senior public officials serve as mentors to new employees by providing unwavering support in their work and sharing organizational culture while listening to the mentees’ difficulties.

New employees provide a refreshing effect by encouraging mentors to break free from fixed ideas and view organizational culture and work from a new perspective.

A total of 70 employees are participating in this mentoring activity. The mentors consist of 35 employees who have served for more than five years and serve as role models in life and work, while the mentees are 35 new public officials appointed since January of this year.

At the matching ceremony held that day, mentors and mentees were paired 1:1 through a ladder game based on MBTI. Afterwards, the matched mentors and mentees spent time getting to know each other and bonding by playing games and quizzes together. The ceremony concluded with the writing of mentoring plans.

One employee who participated as a mentee said, “I am very grateful that my mentor told me to ask about anything I don’t know, no matter how trivial,” and added, “I will learn well from my senior and become a reliable employee of Gwangjin-gu.”

The ‘1st Gwangjin Mentoring’ program will continue activities autonomously through online and offline meetings until July. After the mentoring ends, three teams will be awarded through a contest for outstanding cases, and the content will be shared with employees.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I hope this becomes an opportunity for senior and new public officials to learn from and grow with each other through internal communication and exchange,” and added, “I hope a cooperative atmosphere will be created to solve difficult problems together based on the precious relationships formed between mentors and mentees.”
