Hankook & Company Group Collects 8,200 Employee Ideas

P.Studio Platform Energizes In-House Innovation
Idea Proposal System in Operation Since 2012

On August 25, Hankook & Company Group announced that the cumulative number of employee suggestions submitted through its in-house idea proposal platform, 'P.Studio,' has reached a total of 8,200.

P.Studio, which embodies the group's unique 'Proactive Culture' emphasized by Group Chairman Cho Hyunbum, allows employees to propose ideas and participate in the evaluation process through 'Innovation Mileage' investments and comments. Since 2012, the company has operated an idea proposal system, and in 2020, it expanded this into an online platform, establishing it as a company-wide initiative.

Since the platform's launch, approximately 1,000 proposals have been submitted each year, with 700 new proposals registered in the first half of this year alone.

In the first half of this year, six ideas were selected as the best, including the 'Establishment of an In-House Work Know-How Platform.' In addition, three outstanding ideas from last year that were fully implemented also received awards.

The group is operating the idea proposal system to ensure that ideas lead to tangible results through implementation. The group added that as employee ideas are actually adopted, various benefits such as improved efficiency, enhanced quality, and cost reduction have been achieved.

Oh Yoonjung, head of the Proactive Culture Team, stated, "Proactive Culture goes beyond simply proposing ideas; it is a culture in which members take ownership of their work and actively drive innovation. We plan to actively support an environment where everyone can freely present and realize creative ideas, thereby leading the group's growth."
