HD Hyundai Samho (CEO Shin Hyun-dae) announced that it has taken steps to improve the communication environment for foreign workers.

HD Hyundai Samho has designated May as Vietnam Month and will conduct Vietnamese language training at the company’s technical training center auditorium for a total of about 170 people, including executives, department heads, and representatives of in-house partner companies.

The training, held three times on the 16th, 23rd, and 30th, will be conducted by the company’s Vietnamese interpreter and will cover topics such as introduction to the country and culture, basic conversation, food and dining culture, and essential safety communication.

Through this training, the company expects to strengthen bonds with Vietnamese workers and improve safety and work efficiency by expanding communication skills.

In June, Nepal Month will be held, followed by Thailand Month in September and Uzbekistan Month in October, with continuous foreign language education for the respective countries planned.

Meanwhile, apart from this foreign language training, HD Hyundai Samho is also conducting education on Korean language, culture, and society for foreign workers as part of the social integration program provided by the Ministry of Justice.

Currently, 314 people are being trained in the first session, and an additional 1,200 people are planned to be trained by the end of this year.

At HD Hyundai Samho, about 3,400 foreign workers are currently employed by in-house partner companies. These foreign workers, who account for 30% of the production workforce, have increased rapidly over the past one to two years.

For the shipbuilding company, activating communication with these workers and developing them into skilled personnel is a breakthrough to overcome the chronic labor shortage.

A representative of HD Hyundai Samho stated, “It is meaningful that executives, employees, and foreign workers are working together to adapt to a multicultural environment.”
