Woori Financial Group announced on March 8 that it held the "Women Leaders Networking Day" at its headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, on March 6, inviting female leaders from all group affiliates. The event, held in celebration of International Women's Day, was attended by approximately 80 female department heads from headquarters teams across 17 group companies, including Dongyang Life Insurance and ABL Life Insurance.

She introduced the "rules of the game," emphasizing that "only those who step into the ring have opportunities." Executive Director Choi offered specific advice on storytelling for performance appeal and ways to expand influence.

Woori Financial Group plans to actively encourage the integration of talent discovery and development programs across its group companies. Furthermore, major affiliates will operate specialized programs to expand the pool of potential female leaders, aiming to drive sustainable growth.

Lim Jongryong, Chairman of Woori Financial Group, emphasized, "Diversity is an essential strategy directly linked to a company's sustainable growth," adding, "We will continue to refine our systems to expand the roles of female leaders in key positions."
