Hanwha Investment & Securities has received a 2-year extension of its 'Family-Friendly Company' certification from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family Affairs.
On the 3rd, Hanwha Investment & Securities announced that the certification period was extended until 2026 in recognition of the exemplary operation of family-friendly systems such as maternity and child care support and flexible work during the certification review for family-friendly companies organized by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family Affairs.
The family-friendly enterprise system is a national certification granted to companies that have actively created a work/family compatible environment for workers, such as maternity and childcare support, and the operation of flexible work systems. Since receiving its first certification in 2022, Hanwha Investment & Securities has been steadily expanding its range of institutional support.
The company has operated a support system for pre- and post-natal leave, shortened working hours during pregnancy, and infertility treatment that exceeds legal standards. In addition to this, they explained that they have increased employee satisfaction by introducing a system centered on practical convenience, such as providing caregiving leave before and after school, providing “mom's package” support for employees, and arranging an in-house breastfeeding room.
Welfare has also continued to be strengthened for work-life balance. Lifecycle-based welfare programs have been expanded, including a sabbatical system for self-development at the time of promotion, leave of absence to support degree acquisition and certification preparation for up to 2 years, and welfare services linked to specialized funeral companies.
Kim Do-hyung, Director of Innovation Support at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said, “The family-friendly system is the core foundation for strengthening corporate sustainability and competitiveness,” and “we will further expand the personnel and welfare system so that employees can increase their work engagement and life satisfaction based on a stable work/family balance.”
