"Parents Surprised by Hotel-Grade Wedding"... HD Hyundai Headquarters Transformed into Free Wedding Hall for Employees

Free Wedding Venue for Employees
Free Supplies and Ample Parking Space
"Supporting Work-Life Balance
Creating a Better Workplace"

"I really liked the company wedding hall, so I canceled the original reservation. Above all, I was happy because my parents, who visited my workplace for the first time, felt proud."

The first couple from HD Hyundai Pangyo Office Global R&D Center (GRC) was born. On the 26th, Choi Jeonghwan, a manager at HD Hyundai Construction Equipment and the protagonist of the first employee wedding held at GRC, said, "Taking wedding vows at the place I go to work every day was a very special experience."

On this day, HD Hyundai transformed the multipurpose performance hall, Asan Hall, inside the GRC into a high-class wedding hall for the ceremony. HD Hyundai Chairman Kwon Oh-gap and President Jeong Gi-seon sent a wedding cake as a gift to celebrate the birth of the first 'GRC wedding' couple.

GRC Asan Hall is usually used for major events such as shareholder meetings, kick-off ceremonies, and management status briefings. It consists of a modular stage and variable seating, allowing for various productions. HD Hyundai plans to use this space as a wedding hall for employees on weekends when there are no events.

HD Hyundai provides free rental fees, equipment, and parking fees for employees getting married at GRC. With ample banquet space and parking, and the ability to hold a hotel-grade wedding at a lower cost than general wedding halls, employee response has been enthusiastic.

Previously, HD Hyundai announced that it would open the GRC as a wedding hall free of charge for employee welfare and held an event last month where Asan Hall was decorated exactly as it would be for an actual wedding and shown to employees. Employees who were initially skeptical about the company event venue becoming a wedding hall showed positive reactions after the event. Inquiries from employees planning to get married have continued.

An HD Hyundai official stated, "We operate various welfare programs to help employees find a balance between work and life, including marriage and childcare," adding, "We will continue to listen to employees' voices and make HD Hyundai a better place to work."

Meanwhile, HD Hyundai is expanding employee welfare to create a better workplace by supporting a total of 18 million KRW in education expenses per child for three years before elementary school admission, opening the workplace daycare center 'Dream Boat' operating until 10 PM at the latest, and implementing flexible work systems across all affiliates.
