At the meeting, 12 representatives from each sector of labor, management, government, and civil society attended to discuss cooperation measures for realizing work-life balance and building a sustainable local community.

During the meeting, the 'Gumi City Labor-Management-Government-Civil Mutual Cooperation Joint Declaration' was adopted. The declaration included the roles and responsibilities of each party in improving working conditions, expanding policy support, and spreading a culture of work-life balance.

In particular, the meeting shared the success story of Koors Tech Korea, which was selected as one of the global top 100 'Best Companies to Work For.' Koors Tech Korea simultaneously increased employee satisfaction and corporate productivity through innovative systems such as the introduction of flexible working hours, encouragement of paternity leave, and strengthening internal communication.

The flexible working hours system allowed employees to autonomously adjust their commuting times except for the core time (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), greatly enhancing work efficiency and quality of life. This institutional support led to reduced employee turnover and strengthened corporate competitiveness, and was evaluated as a model case of the work-life balance model that the Gumi Labor-Management-Government-Civil Council aims for.

The Gumi Labor-Management-Government-Civil Council has maintained close cooperative relationships to improve the local labor market and revitalize the economy. The adoption of this joint declaration is expected to be an important opportunity to spread the culture of work-life balance throughout the local community.

The Labor-Management-Government-Civil Council plans to continuously develop the Gumi-type cooperation model based on coexistence and cooperation, enabling workers and companies to grow together.

Mayor Kim Jang-ho stated, “Work-life balance is a key task for workers and companies to grow together and create a sustainable local community,” adding, “Labor, management, government, and civil society will cooperate to further enhance Gumi’s future value.”
