Woori Bank announced on the 14th that it will remove information such as education, military service, and region of origin from employee personnel cards to establish a 'performance-oriented' organizational culture.

Previously, personnel cards were used as basic data for employee personnel management. In addition to information necessary for assessing work capabilities, such as work experience, certifications, and awards, they also included information that could lead to biases, such as education, military service, and region of origin.

Woori Bank explained that this is a measure reflecting President Jeong Jin-wan's personnel philosophy of establishing a performance-oriented personnel culture that competes on merit.

Since the beginning of this year, Woori Bank has been operating a 'self-development challenge' that sets individual training and certification goals. Those who obtain many certifications will receive special consideration in personnel matters.
