In the first round of recruitment this year, 81 companies applied for the program, which was initially targeted at 50 companies, demonstrating a high level of commitment from businesses. Even after the application deadline, inquiries about the consulting program continued, so the province decided to select an additional 30 companies to receive expert consulting support.

Selected companies will receive expert consulting services that diagnose their current level of family-friendly management and provide tailored solutions for each company. The main areas of support include: ▲advisory services for introducing family-friendly policies, ▲diagnosis of family-friendly management levels and identification of areas for improvement, and ▲assistance in preparing for the "Gyeonggi Family-Friendly Good Workplace Certification."

This consulting program is designed to help companies that wish to obtain certification systematically prepare for every step, from introducing new policies to applying for certification. It also aims to help small and medium-sized enterprises develop practical implementation strategies.

The application period runs from August 14 to August 28. Eligible applicants are small and medium-sized enterprises with their headquarters or factories located in Gyeonggi Province, that have been in business for at least two years, have at least five regular employees, and, as of the announcement date, do not currently hold the "Gyeonggi Family-Friendly Good Workplace Certification."

Yoon Hyeonok, Director of Employment Equality at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Many small and medium-sized enterprises in the province are showing strong interest in family-friendly management," adding, "We hope this additional round of recruitment will encourage more companies to adopt a culture of work-life balance."
