KB Asset Management Leads Family-Friendly Management in the Asset Management Industry

KB Asset Management announced on the 7th that it is establishing and expanding systems to create a family-friendly work environment.

Recently, KB Asset Management introduced various support systems, including an extension of the leave period, to prevent career interruptions for employees due to childbirth and childcare.

Notably, the existing one-year parental leave has been extended to a maximum of two years. This is the first case among asset management companies to extend the leave period as part of efforts to address the low birthrate issue.

Additionally, a childbirth incentive system was introduced to encourage childbirth. When an employee has a child, a childbirth incentive of 400,000 KRW per child per month is paid for two years starting from the following month.

In March, the time when children enter school, the company operates the "Elementary School Enrollment Childcare Commute Time Adjustment System," which allows employees to start work one hour later than usual to minimize childcare gaps. The leaving time remains the same, and full wages are paid.

KB Asset Management also implements various welfare programs such as quarterly family invitation events for employees, "Family Day" encouraging on-time departure every Wednesday, and a "Flexible Commute System" allowing employees to start work at any time between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Kim Young-sung, CEO of KB Asset Management, emphasized, “We will do our best not only to improve employees’ work efficiency but also to ensure a balance between work and family,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create a good working environment.”
