Youngone announced on the 15th that under the leadership of Vice Chairman Seong Rae-eun, it has implemented policies to create a family-friendly corporate culture, including a childcare allowance system and flexible working hours.
Beginning this month, Youngone will provide a monthly childcare allowance of 200,000 won to employees with children under the age of 6. It has established a policy that allows parent employees of elementary school students in the second grade and below to apply for and utilize flexible working hours without distinction between genders.
Youngone is a company where the proportion of female employees reaches 70% and the ratio of female executives is 50%, highlighting the active participation of women.
Given the high proportion of female employees, the company has been implementing a childcare leave and childcare-related reduced work hours policy since last year, along with providing annual transportation expenses (taxi) of 1 million won to pregnant workers, fostering a corporate culture that considers female employees during pregnancy and childbirth.
Vice Chairman Seong Rae-eun said, "I believe that creating an environment where employees can lead healthy and stable lives at work and at home is the most fundamental birth encouragement policy," adding, "Youngone's continuous efforts in this regard could contribute to solving population issues."
Meanwhile, Vice Chairman Seong participated in the 'Population Issue Awareness Improvement Relay Campaign' at the suggestion of Yoon Sang-hyun, Vice Chairman of Kolmar Holdings.
This campaign was jointly planned by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korean Health and Welfare Talent Development Institute to raise awareness of the importance of addressing population structure changes due to low birth rates and aging.
Vice Chairman Seong identified Song Byeong-jun, Chairman of Com2uS Group, as the next participant in the relay.
