Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency

The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency announced on the 26th that it received a commendation from the Governor of Gyeonggi-do for its contribution to enhancing the welfare of non-regular workers and realizing a Gyeonggi-do where labor is respected.

In 2020, the agency converted a total of 323 workers?239 indirectly employed workers and 84 fixed-term workers affiliated with seven public buildings?into direct employment.

In 2021, continuous improvements were made to the working conditions of facility operation workers, including the construction of rest areas and the commissioning of research projects to advance facility operation management. Additionally, fixed-term workers were guaranteed treatment without discrimination compared to regular employees after conversion.

Notably, this year the agency established a dedicated department called the ‘Facility Operation Task Force (TF)’ to enhance the welfare and operational improvements for converted workers.

The Facility Operation TF undertook comprehensive efforts such as restructuring the promotion and compensation system for facility operation staff, developing an appropriate evaluation system, improving working conditions for security workers, and promoting communication expansion through title improvements and the establishment of an operational consultative body.

As a result, the vacancy rate among facility operation staff in the agency’s seven public buildings decreased by 7 percentage points compared to last year, achieving tangible improvements in facility operation management.

Kang Seong-cheon, Director of the agency, stated, "We are pleased to have our efforts to enhance worker welfare recognized," and emphasized, "As a public institution of Gyeonggi-do, we will continue to lead the creation of good jobs in Gyeonggi-do through improvements in the labor environment."
