Hanmi Group is launching a company-wide program to enhance employees' artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and spread a field-centered culture of work innovation.

Hanmi Group announced on the 6th that it will implement the 'Hanmi AI Boost Program' for employees across all affiliates, including Hanmi Science and Hanmi Pharmaceutical. The program aims to identify cases in which employees have used AI and digital technologies to improve work efficiency and productivity, and to spread these across the group.

The program operates on a "bottom-up" approach, in which employees identify ideas in the field and implement them directly, rather than the company introducing technology uniformly. The plan is to support the entire process, from idea proposal to development, actual application to work, and performance sharing, thereby accumulating field-validated cases as common assets of the organization.

Hanmi Group will also conduct monthly and annual evaluations and rewards for cases that achieve concrete results such as work automation, productivity improvement, and cost reduction. The evaluation categories consist of the Monthly Excellence Award, the Monthly Communication Champion, and the Annual Innovation Award.

The Monthly Excellence Award targets cases that improve work or implement new functions using Microsoft's work automation platform 'Power Platform' and the AI-based work support tool 'Copilot Studio.' Participants must submit their improvements, solution sources, and screens of actual application, and five outstanding cases are selected each month through AI evaluation and executive evaluation.

The Annual Innovation Award is given to cases among the Monthly Excellence Award winners that show continuous improvement performance and high potential for expansion to other organizations. It will focus on evaluating sustainability and scalability rather than one-time work improvements.

"This is an execution-centered program in which employees create results in the actual work field and accumulate them as organizational assets, rather than simply introducing AI technology," a Hanmi Science official said. "We will strengthen Hanmi Group's own AI-based work innovation culture by supporting employees' voluntary participation and creative attempts."
