Yongsan-gu, 2024 Active Administration Workplace Training

Active Administration Online and Offline Training for All Employees on the 27th
Special Lecture by District Mayor Park Hee-young Followed by a Lecture from the Ministry of Personnel Innovation's Dedicated Instructor
Introducing the Necessity of Active Administration, Immunity, Incentives, and More... Aiming to Foster an Active Administration Organizational Culture

Yongsan-gu, Seoul (Mayor Park Hee-young) conducted proactive administration workplace training on the 27th at the Garam Small Theater in Yongsan Art Hall for its public officials and employees of the Yongsan-gu Facilities Management Corporation.

This training, organized to foster a culture of proactive administration within the organization, was also broadcast live online in real-time to enable participation from all employees.

The lecture was delivered by Moon Cheol-hoon, a dedicated instructor for proactive administration from the Ministry of Personnel Management. Under the theme "We Are the Proactive Administration Generation," the session covered ▲the concept and necessity of proactive administration ▲support systems for proactive administration ▲and examples of proactive administration.

The reason for the need for proactive administration was attributed to the rapid changes in the administrative environment. It was emphasized that even in unprecedented situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, appropriate administrative activities must be conducted based on legality, and the proactive administration system exists to supplement unclear legal interpretations and other issues.

Next, support systems for proactive administration were introduced to alleviate concerns caused by ambiguous laws or audit burdens. Pre-consultation, which grants exemption effects if actions are taken according to the review opinions before promoting proactive administration, was explained. Support is also provided for litigation procedures if public officials engaged in proactive administration become involved in lawsuits.

Incentives for proactive administration were also outlined. The district operates programs such as ▲selection of outstanding proactive public officials ▲and proactive administration mileage to reward public officials’ efforts in practicing proactive administration, both significantly and modestly.

Examples of proactive administration included cases from Yongsan-gu’s outstanding proactive public officials and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s excellent case competition.

Kim, a manager at Namyeong-dong Community Service Center who attended the training on-site, stated, “I realized once again that proactive administration can be promoted in any field, whether it is on-site work or civil service, not just specific areas.”

Notably, Mayor Park Hee-young of Yongsan-gu also personally served as a special lecturer for proactive administration during the training held that day.

Mayor Park said, “Improving unreasonable regulations and enhancing administrative efficiency based on creativity and expertise will also increase residents’ satisfaction. I ask the responsible departments and all staff to make efforts so that small and large proactive administration practices can come together.”

Meanwhile, last year, the district received excellence and encouragement awards in Seoul’s proactive administration best cases and won the grand prize (Prime Minister’s Award) at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s proactive administration best case competition.
