The ‘Gyeonggi Family-Friendly Company Certification’ project identifies and certifies companies that exemplary operate family-friendly systems and provides various benefits. Currently, there are 194 certified companies. Gyeonggi Province is the first and only local government to independently certify family-friendly companies.

Last year, through the ‘Population and Low Birthrate Task Force’ and the ‘Population Talk Talk Committee,’ the province prepared measures to intensively foster Gyeonggi family-friendly companies, expanding benefits such as increasing support funds for newly certified companies (from 2 million KRW to 5 million KRW), preferential support for small and medium enterprise development funds, and promotion support for excellent companies.

This year, to activate re-certification of family-friendly companies, a re-certification support fund of 2 million KRW was newly established, and a dedicated section on the recruitment information site will be opened to help certified companies hire talented personnel. Promotion support for Gyeonggi family-friendly certified companies will also be strengthened.

In particular, this briefing session will be promoted in connection with the 0.5 & 0.75 job support project to publicize various benefits (incentives) for companies, aiming to enhance synergy effects such as corporate support and prevention of career interruptions.

Among Gyeonggi family-friendly certified companies participating in the 0.5 & 0.75 job program, institutional consulting and additional employment incentives will be provided to companies, while workers will receive contribution support and reduced salary support.

The province plans to select the 2025 Gyeonggi Family-Friendly Certified Companies in October this year after announcing the project at the end of March, conducting document screening in May to June, on-site inspections in July to August, and certification committee reviews in September.

Yoon Young-mi, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Women and Family Bureau, said, “Since 2010, Gyeonggi Province has been the first local government to intensively foster and expand support for family-friendly companies to spread a family-friendly culture. This briefing session will provide an opportunity to inform various companies in the province about the ‘Gyeonggi Family-Friendly Certification Project’ and encourage companies to work together for work-life balance.”
