The Ministry of Personnel Management has been holding the ‘Integrated Personnel Performance Sharing Conference’ annually since 2019 to share the achievements and best practices of integrated personnel management and to promote an inclusive public service sector.

This year’s conference was held at the Ferrum Tower in Seoul, attended by over 80 personnel in charge of integrated personnel management from central government ministries, local governments, and public institutions. The event included awards for outstanding integrated personnel institutions and free discussions to explore policy development directions.

Busan City achieved excellent results, including ranking first nationwide in expanding the appointment of female managers at grade 5 and above in the joint evaluation of local governments hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and was selected as an outstanding integrated personnel performance institution for the third time, following 2020 and 2022.

As of the end of 2022, Busan City exceeded its target (95%) by achieving 164.1% in appointing female managerial public officials, contributing to expanding decision-making participation opportunities for women in the public sector and establishing a gender-equal organizational culture. The city was also recognized for its active efforts to improve the quality of work-life balance by creating a work environment friendly to childbirth and childcare.

In particular, the city is actively implementing integrated personnel management by pursuing human diversity in the public sector and customized personnel management through measures such as ▲ ranking first nationwide in appointing female managers at grade 5 and above and expanding the placement of female public officials in key departments such as planning, budgeting, personnel, and audit ▲ supporting assistive technology devices for disabled public officials and considering preferred assignments ▲ expanding public service entry for socially disadvantaged groups such as low-income individuals ▲ encouraging paternity leave for men, granting a minimum A grade in performance bonuses to public officials with multiple children, and preferential promotion treatment.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “I am pleased that Busan’s efforts to promote gender equality and expand the entry of socially disadvantaged groups into the public sector have been recognized,” adding, “Integrated personnel management is a policy that enhances practical equity and fairness for socially disadvantaged or minority groups such as women, disabled persons, and low-income individuals, contributing to social integration. We will continue to eliminate discriminatory factors against socially disadvantaged groups and strive to create an inclusive organizational culture through warm personnel management that empathizes and cares.”
