The Korea Small Enterprise and Market Service said on the 8th that it held a "coffee sharing event" to foster a labor-management win-win culture to mark the 100th day since Chair In Tae-yeon took office and the labor union's founding day (May 12).
The event was organized at the suggestion of the SEMAS labor union. About 700 cups of five types of beverages, including Americano, vanilla latte, and lemonade, were provided to employees. About 500 employees, including staff at headquarters and regional centers, took part freely during their breaks.
Union Chair Yoon Ji-hoon presented a bouquet to Chair In to mark the 100th day since taking office. Employees also left messages of support and suggestions for the chair and the union.
A campaign to spread a culture of integrity was also held alongside the event. Stickers with the phrase "prohibition of unfair work orders" were attached to the beverages provided, delivering messages to raise employees' awareness of integrity and to establish a sound organizational culture. Participants in customer service training at regional centers also joined the event, making it a time to reflect on the value of communication and unity within the organization.
Chair In said, "I am grateful that labor and management came together on the occasion of the 100th day since I took office and the union's founding," adding, "We will continue to build a healthy organizational culture based on mutual respect and communication, and we will work so that labor and management together can be a reliable ally for small business owners."
