The family-friendly company certification is a system in which the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family recognizes companies that operate exemplary family-friendly policies, such as support for childbirth and childcare, and flexible work arrangements. After first receiving the certification in 2022, Hanwha Investment & Securities expanded its support systems for childbirth and parenting and introduced various welfare programs to help employees balance work and family life, earning recognition and a two-year extension of its certification.


Hanwha Investment & Securities offers benefits that exceed legal requirements, including maternity and paternity leave, reduced working hours during pregnancy, and support programs for infertility. The company has also introduced its own initiatives to enhance employees' practical convenience, such as providing pre- and post-school care leave, a "Moms Package," and dedicated breastfeeding spaces in the workplace. Additionally, the company is strengthening life-cycle-based welfare by offering a sabbatical program that provides self-development opportunities upon promotion, a "Chaum Leave" program that supports employees in obtaining degrees or certifications for up to two years, and funeral services in partnership with professional providers.



Kim Dohyeong, Head of the Innovation Support Office at Hanwha Investment & Securities, stated, "Family-friendly policies are a core foundation for enhancing a company's sustainability and competitiveness," adding, "We will continue to expand our HR and welfare programs so that our employees can stay focused on their work and improve their quality of life based on a healthy work-life balance."
