Every year, the Korea Management Registration Institute selects excellent companies by comprehensively evaluating ▲labor-management representatives’ leadership ▲maturity of labor-management relations ▲labor-management performance through interviews with company labor representatives and employee surveys.

The labor-management team of Korea National Oil Corporation enhanced labor-management partnership by activating permanent and non-permanent consultation channels, while operating various joint communication channels such as CEO town hall meetings and visiting HR-labor and welfare briefings, thereby increasing mutual understanding between labor and management and reducing labor conflicts.

Additionally, through new forms of participatory communication programs such as the joint labor-management Junior Forum, communication leaders with the MZ generation, Linegeum, and Saenaegi Dandan, employees were able to play a role as agents of labor-management cooperation and harmony.

Based on these continuous efforts, the labor-management team of Korea National Oil Corporation was able to establish a stable labor-management relationship, including reaching wage negotiations without disputes for eight consecutive years, which led to the excellent labor-management relations company certification, according to a corporation official.

Kim Dong-seop, President of Korea National Oil Corporation, expressed his pleasure at receiving this excellent company certification, saying, “We are glad that our efforts to foster a cooperative labor-management relationship have been recognized,” and added, “Our labor and management will continue to actively cooperate to create a workplace where all members are happy through a partnership of trust and harmony, as well as to become a public enterprise trusted by the people.”
