The Best HRD Institution certification is a program jointly overseen by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. It is awarded to organizations with outstanding human resource development systems, such as competency-based recruitment and management, and the provision of continuous training opportunities for employees. Certified organizations are granted benefits including exemption from regular labor inspections for three years and preferential treatment in government support programs.

Kolon Biotech has operated various programs to enhance the expertise of its employees, tailored to its identity as a research and development-focused pharmaceutical and biotech company. The company received high marks for strengthening a learning-centered organizational culture through on-site customized job training, career development support systems, leadership courses, and job-based skill enhancement education.

In particular, as the global pharmaceutical and biotech industry faces intense competition for talent, this certification is seen as evidence of Kolon Biotech’s strong human resource management capabilities. The award is expected to enhance Kolon Biotech’s external credibility and have a positive impact on attracting top talent in research and development.

Kolon Biotech plans to use this certification as an opportunity to enhance its corporate image and brand value, further strengthen employee capabilities, and secure future growth engines.

Kim Sunjin, CEO of Kolon Biotech, stated, "Our efforts to establish systematic HRM (Human Resource Management) and HRD (Human Resource Development) systems and support employee growth have been officially recognized," adding, "We will continue to foster globally competitive talent and establish a learning-centered corporate culture to ensure sustainable growth."

Earlier this year, Kolon Biotech was also selected as a "Great Place to Work" by the city of Chungju, where its factory is located, and continues to achieve results in operating employee-centered HR and ER (Employee Relations) systems, including excellent labor-management relations and welfare programs to retain young employees.
