On the 23rd, Gwangju City was selected as an "Outstanding Organization for Integrated Personnel Management" at the 6th Integrated Personnel Performance Sharing Conference, hosted by the Ministry of Personnel Management, and received a commendation from the Minister of Personnel Management in recognition of its achievements in social integration and balanced personnel policies.

The "Outstanding Organization for Integrated Personnel Management" award is presented annually by the Ministry of Personnel Management to central government agencies, local governments, and public institutions based on evaluations of their integrated personnel practices, including gender-equal personnel operations, management of employees with disabilities, those from low-income backgrounds, and science and engineering public officials.

As of the end of last year, the city exceeded the standard for hiring socially disadvantaged groups through its promotion of social integration and balanced personnel policies. It also made efforts to create a work environment conducive to employees with disabilities, expanded the hiring of individuals with severe disabilities, and alleviated work burdens by introducing flexible working hours.

In addition, the proportion of female public officials in managerial positions (grade 5 or higher) reached 35.6%, significantly higher than the national average of 30.8%. The city also received high marks for its gender-equal personnel management, including the promotion of paternity leave for male employees and the creation of a work environment that supports work-life balance.

Kim Sangyul, Director of Personnel Policy, stated, "We will continue to work hard to foster an inclusive public service culture that supports the appointment of socially disadvantaged groups to public office and enables them to fully demonstrate their capabilities in response to increasing social diversity."
