Sejong City Selects Three Companies as Certified Fair and Discrimination-Free Happy Workplaces

Three Companies Selected as “Sejong-type Happy Workplaces”
Recognized for Fair Employment and Positive Labor-Management Culture

On August 25, the Sejong City government announced that it had selected three workplaces-KR Co., Ltd., Korea Sauce Co., Ltd., and Happy People-as “Sejong-type Happy Workplaces” for their commitment to employment equality and the creation of a positive work environment.

The Sejong-type Happy Workplace initiative is a program designed to discover and support outstanding companies that foster a discrimination-free work environment and establish fair employment principles.

Previously, the city accepted applications for the Happy Workplace designation from local businesses that had been operating normally for more than three years and did not have any disqualifying factors. Following a document review and presentation evaluation based on 12 detailed assessment indicators across four categories, three workplaces were ultimately selected.

The selected companies will receive a certificate and plaque recognizing them as outstanding Happy Workplaces, as well as 8 million KRW in labor-management cooperation support funds per company, which includes an 800,000 KRW self-contribution. The support funds can be used for purposes such as education, counseling, workshops, and the production of promotional materials aimed at fostering labor-management cooperation.

Kwon Osu, Director of Corporate Support, stated, “Certified Happy Workplaces are leading local companies that have worked to create fair, discrimination-free workplaces and promote a culture of labor-management cooperation. Through the Happy Workplace program, we will spread a healthy corporate culture in which both employees and companies can grow together.”
