Women-friendly companies are selected by evaluating 26 items including the status of female employment, work-life balance support, and welfare operation, targeting companies with 5 to fewer than 50 employees within the region.

The selected women-friendly companies receive support such as 10 million KRW for employee environment improvement projects including rest areas, nursing rooms, and restrooms; 1 million KRW hiring incentives per newly hired female worker; education to spread work-life balance culture; and corporate promotion. They can also receive continuous support for hiring female workers through linkage with the Women New Employment Center.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Improving the working environment for women and guaranteeing employment will be a solution to low birth rates and the decline in the labor population," adding, "We will continue to make greater efforts to create a corporate culture where women can work well."
