Marking its 8th year, this event took place in the auditorium of the newly established welfare building 'Bio Plaza,' created in August to enhance employee welfare. Approximately 500 new employees who joined in 2022 attended the event, celebrating their 1st anniversary with volunteer activities, conversations with senior colleagues, and performances.

The first part of the event began with social contribution activities aimed at regional coexistence. Samsung Biologics collaborated with local governments to conduct environmental cleanup activities in eight parks near the Yeonsu-gu workplace. Employees participating in the event visited designated parks in groups and engaged in volunteer work such as environmental maintenance, fertilizing, and sowing spring seeds to support the local environment.

The main event of the second part, 'Conversation with Seniors,' featured Park Yong, Director of the Human Resources Support Center at Samsung Biologics (Executive Director), who participated as a senior to provide advice and encouragement about company life in a communication session. New employees reflected on the past year, shared their work experiences, and envisioned their future goals. They also strengthened camaraderie through a company-related quiz held during the conversation with seniors.

Following this, a special lecture by an external guest was held, with Professor Lee Ji-seon from Ewha Womans University’s Department of Social Welfare delivering a talk on dreams, passion, communication, and motivation. The 'Blue Speech' event, where new employees shared their 1st anniversary reflections and future aspirations, was also conducted. Additionally, a photo zone was set up at the venue to allow employees to freely take commemorative photos.

The final third part featured a professional recreation MC who hosted customized games themed around Samsung Biologics’ core slogans of mission and pride, followed by a congratulatory performance by the singer 10cm.

An Jae-hong, a professional from the Information Strategy Group of the Management Innovation Team who attended the event, said, "It was rewarding to celebrate the 1st anniversary with seniors and colleagues in a joyful atmosphere and to practice volunteer work for the local environment." He added, "This event provided an opportunity to once again feel pride and a sense of belonging as a member of Samsung Biologics."

John Lim, President of Samsung Biologics, said, "I hope the first year spent at Samsung Biologics has been happy and meaningful," and added, "I expect the new employees to continue growing with a positive and challenging attitude and play a significant role in helping Samsung Biologics leap forward as a global top Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO)."

Meanwhile, in a survey conducted in August by Job Korea and Albamon targeting 1,278 university students and new job seekers preparing for employment at large companies in the second half of this year, Samsung Biologics ranked second as the most desired company to work for. Among job seekers, 29.7% chose Samsung Biologics as the most desirable company to join due to expectations of ▲high salary ▲future growth potential ▲good welfare systems and working environment.
