On the 25th, GS Construction announced that it will strengthen and establish related support systems to increase effective benefits throughout the entire cycle from pregnancy to childbirth and childcare, and to create an internal atmosphere where these can be actively utilized.

Infertility treatment expenses will be supported up to 1 million KRW per session, for a total of up to 5 sessions. Postpartum care center costs will be supported at 50% of the actual expenses incurred. The childbirth congratulatory bonus, which ranged from 500,000 to 5 million KRW depending on the number of children, will be increased by about twice.

In addition, the legally designated parental leave period of one year has been extended to allow an additional maximum of one year. Spousal paternity leave will also be extended from 10 days to 20 days. Various educational programs have been newly established, including childbirth congratulatory gifts, education for prospective parents, and adaptation training for employees returning from parental leave.

A GS Construction official said, "As the low birthrate issue is emerging as a major social concern, we will strengthen and establish effective systems and create an internal atmosphere where employees can use these systems without hesitation. We aim to help employees enjoy a life that balances work and family and participate in solving social problems."

Meanwhile, CEO Heo Yunhong recently emphasized creating an internal atmosphere where employees can communicate and work creatively through a vision declaration. In addition to this system reform, measures such as unifying job titles, removing office partitions, and allowing shorts during summer have been introduced.
