Major affiliates of the Taekwang Group are creating opportunities for communication with employees through various programs to build an organizational culture based on communication and trust.

Taekwang Industrial and Daehan Synthetic Fiber, textile and petrochemical affiliates, selected and announced the '2023 Organizational Culture Practice Pledge' after gathering employees' preliminary opinions through education and workshops last year and this year.

This practice pledge was selected through a process of communication with management about the organizational culture hindrance factors and areas for improvement perceived by employees of different generations. This was done via organizational activation training for MZ generation employees below the manager level at the end of last year, an organizational culture workshop, and leadership training for managers in February.

The final key items selected are ▶ Creating a company that shares the future (holding management briefings) ▶ Activating company-wide communication (holding company-wide common events and discovering organizational culture improvement tasks) ▶ Building a communication/trust-based organizational culture (Junior Board activities and transparent personnel system) ▶ Actively collecting employee opinions (conducting organizational culture surveys and continuous improvement activities) ▶ Changing the conservative company atmosphere (practice pledges for changes by position holders).

Specific activities include announcing the organizational culture practice pledge to all employees in April and sharing the practice pledge for changes by position holders. Additionally, a first-half organizational culture survey was conducted to listen to employees' opinions, and the results were announced. Going forward, management briefings will be held twice a year to share management status and vision with employees, and company-wide common events will be held to foster a unified culture among all employees.

A representative from the Taekwang Industrial HR team said, "Through this organizational culture practice pledge, we were able to understand the organizational culture hindrance factors and preferred organizational culture as perceived by employees, as well as their willingness to communicate." He added, "We will continue to listen to employees' opinions and implement various practice tasks continuously."

Meanwhile, Taekwang Group affiliates are also making efforts to improve organizational culture. Financial affiliate Heungkuk Life Insurance recently held a 'Healing Day' event organized by the Consumer Protection Team to relieve stress and heal the minds of employees engaged in emotional labor, continuing activities to encourage employees' hard work.
