This event, planned to introduce the work environment and the company’s vision to the employees’ parents and provide an opportunity to create memories, was held with the participation of about 1,100 people including employees, their parents, and siblings. The program started with a welcome video prepared by the employees for their parents, followed by a company introduction, various recreational activities, tours of the workplace and offices, commemorative photo sessions, traditional folk games, and the presentation of commemorative gifts.

The company explained the bio-pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) business and the employees’ work to their parents through tours of the workplace and the PR center, and introduced Samsung Biologics’ vision for improving human health. In addition, the employees’ parents were able to visit their children’s office spaces to see the work environment firsthand, and during lunchtime, a time was arranged for them to enjoy meals together with their children at the Bio Plaza in the employee welfare building. Recreational activities and games that parents and children could enjoy together were held, and photo zones were set up throughout the workplace to leave family photos.

Samsung Biologics has been holding family invitation events since last year to enhance understanding and empathy about the workplace among family members and to boost employees’ sense of belonging and pride. This year, the events were divided into two sessions?one inviting children and the other inviting parents?to allow more families to participate.

Lee Joo-kyung, a professional in the Microbiology group who participated in the event, said, “It was difficult to explain the company to my parents when they were curious, but I think this event helped clear up their questions well,” and added, “It seems the company served as a bridge to better communication with my parents.”
