The Lotte e-Commerce Division explained that it received this commendation in recognition of its achievements in operating an industry-leading family-friendly work system, allowing employees to freely choose their working hours and locations, and actively implementing telecommuting. It is also evaluated as leading a horizontal corporate culture by abolishing the rank system, introducing the honorific 'nim,' and adopting the Objective and Key Results (OKR) evaluation sharing system.

To foster a family-friendly social culture, a two-hour leave system was introduced, and to encourage flexible use of leave, the 'reason for leave' section was abolished. Employees can register and use annual leave on their own without a separate approval process.

Choo Dae-sik, Head of Strategic Planning at Lotte Shopping e-Commerce Division, said, "We were able to receive the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Commendation in recognition of our continuous efforts to create family-friendly work systems and a horizontal organizational culture. We plan to continue designing and operating various policies and systems so that employees can spend more time with their families."
