The Korea's Best Job Company certification has been conducted annually since 2010 under the supervision of the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Best companies receive a certification plaque in the name of the President and are provided with 199 administrative and financial supports, including credit evaluation and preferential interest rates, tax audit deferrals, and exemption from regular labor inspections.

Jongkundang Health was recognized for creating jobs by newly hiring 58 employees in 2022 and expanding the female employment rate to over 50%, leading to its selection as a certified company. The company was also highly evaluated for its family-friendly welfare system, which encourages parental leave, supports reduced working hours during childcare (2 hours reduction per day) without wage cuts, and provides in-house female employee lounges and nursing rooms, earning the Family-Friendly Company certification in 2022.

The introduction of flexible working hours and the PC-OFF system to promote work-life balance, as well as programs for employee skill development such as outsourced external training, master's and doctoral degree acquisition support, and child education expenses support, contributed to improving the working environment and received positive evaluations.

A representative of Jongkundang Health stated, "We will continue to establish various systems to help employees maintain a work-life balance and create a good working environment. We expect to build a corporate culture where employees and the company grow together by maximizing work capabilities in the best working environment."
