The World Class Corporations Association announced on the 28th that it held a 'CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Forum' at the L Tower in Seocho District, Seoul. This forum focused on personnel and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, with the participation of about 50 executives and employees from member corporations.
At the keynote speech, Lee Hyung-gu, CEO of the global human resources consulting firm Marsh McLennan, explained key measures for personnel management at each stage of business under the theme of 'HR strategies for global advanced corporations.'
He particularly noted, "The most critical challenge for global expansion is overcoming local talent acquisition and cultural fit," adding, "It is important to establish leadership development suitable for the local area and a long-term talent management system even after local hiring."
Kim Ji-soo, executive director at Mercer Korea, said, "Recently, global corporate executives have recognized the use of AI as both the biggest opportunity and threat," and remarked, "To increase work productivity in the future, technology-centered personnel management and employee retraining are essential."
Lee Hee-jin, executive director at Mercer Korea, shared the factors affecting productivity based on the analysis of human resources (HR) productivity metrics.
The Korea Productivity Center also participated in the forum to explain the importance of preparing for the disclosure of ESG information and self-guidelines, as well as conducting environmental assessments throughout the entire product process.
