Eligible applicants are SMEs that have had their headquarters or main factory located in Seongnam City for at least two years, employ at least five regular workers, and have increased their number of employees by at least two over the past year. The employment growth rate must be at least 10% for general fields and at least 5% for the youth category (ages 15 to 34) to qualify for application.

Starting this year, the selection of excellent employment companies will not only consider employment growth figures but will also evaluate criteria that reflect the quality of employment, such as the company's financial soundness, employment stability, and working environment.

Selected companies will receive a certificate and a plaque recognizing them as an excellent employment company, both valid for two years. They will also be provided with incentives in various business support programs, including support for participation in domestic and international exhibitions, market development, and business commercialization packages.

However, if the number of employees decreases compared to the time of certification, or if relocation or closure of the business is confirmed during the biannual status surveys conducted after certification, the certification may be revoked.

Companies wishing to apply must submit the application form, SME confirmation, business registration certificate, and employment verification documents to the designated contact person via email within the application period. Detailed information can be found in the notice section of the Seongnam City Hall website.

Meanwhile, Seongnam City is currently providing excellent employment company certification and incentives to 36 companies (13 in the general category and 23 in the youth category).
