Doosan Group announced on the 23rd that it will strengthen its support systems for childbirth and childcare to create a work environment compatible with both work and family.
This year, Doosan Group has established a new 'childcare leave supporter subsidy,' which provides up to 500,000 won per person to team members of employees on childcare leave for more than six months. This aims to alleviate the burden on other team members due to employee childcare leave.
Doosan Group has also increased its financial support for childbirth. Employees and their spouses will receive congratulatory payments of 3 million won for their first child, 5 million won for their second child, and 10 million won for the third child and beyond. Additionally, from when the child reaches the age of 1, the company provides monthly childcare support of 200,000 won for two years.
In addition to monetary support, the leave and vacation systems have also been strengthened. Employees can take one additional year of childcare leave beyond the legal period, and spousal maternity leave can be extended by an additional 10 days. For the first month of legal childcare leave, the company will cover the difference in salary after excluding the government support.
A Doosan Group official noted, "We plan to continuously enhance the systems to create a work environment where members can be more engaged and satisfied, maximizing the effects. Through this, we expect that the company's competitiveness will also be strengthened in the long term."
