HanmiGlobal announced on the 8th that it has introduced a groundbreaking system that immediately promotes employees who have a third child in order to encourage multi-child births.


Encouraging Childbirth and Family-Friendly Management... HanmiGlobal "Special Promotion for Third Child" View original image


Implemented from the 1st of this month, this system promotes employees to the next higher rank upon the birth of their third child without any conditions such as promotion eligibility period or performance evaluation. From the fourth child onward, childcare assistant support is provided for one year immediately after birth.


In addition, employees who give birth are granted 90 days of statutory maternity leave plus an additional 30 days of special paid leave regardless of the number of children, and their salary is maintained during three months of parental leave thereafter. Employees with two or more children are also recognized for up to two years of parental leave as continuous service, allowing them to be considered for promotion even while on leave. Applicants with children receive additional points in the document screening stage during open recruitment for new employees.


To encourage marriage, the housing loan support amount has been increased up to a maximum limit of 100 million KRW. Employees preparing for marriage can receive an internal loan of 50 million KRW at 2% interest in addition to the existing interest-free 50 million KRW. The in-house Marriage Promotion Committee will also be reorganized to participate in the establishment and implementation of marriage encouragement policies.


The flexible work system is also actively utilized. Employees with children under the age of 8 can work from home for two years (up to three years for those with two or more children), and when their child enters elementary school, they can take one week of paid leave or work two hours less per day for four weeks.



Park Jung-wook, head of HanmiGlobal’s HR team, said, "In addition to the currently implemented systems, we are considering various additional measures such as constructing apartment complexes for employees through a workplace housing cooperative, operating daycare centers, and preferential loans for multi-child families. We aim to become a model for encouraging childbirth and family-friendly management by supplementing various systems with a goal of achieving an in-house birth rate of 2.0 within the next 10 years."
