EMPLOYEES

Korean Re actively supports a healthy work-life balance for our employees, with the aim of nurturing a creativity-driven corporate culture.

More Satisfied with Working & Personal Lives

Korean Re has implemented diverse measures to help employees maintain a heathier state of mind and body. In 2019, “Refresh Vacation” was introduced, granting long-term employees to take time off for a month or more while being supported financially by the company. After taking advantage of this time off, our colleagues can come back to work refreshed and then focus more productively on their jobs. Furthermore, under our policy for employees with young children, working moms can use flexible working hours to strike a balance between work and childrearing. “PC-Off” is another program we have established, one whose mandate is to guarantee life-after-work for employees. As such, Korean Re is doing its best—and still seeking further room for improvement—to enhance the work-life balance of employees and thus improve the quality of their work and personal lives.

A Pleasant Atmosphere and a Time to Recharge

A healthy mind is as important as a healthy body. We have designed our work spaces in a way to soothe people’s minds and induce their creativity. In order to ensure a “green office,” we have placed plants in working areas both for aesthetic purposes and peace of mind.We have installed a special staircase called “Stairways to Health” from B1 to the 12th floor so that everyone is encouraged to get more exercise. Each frequent user’s mileage can be converted into cash for donation so that they can take part in a social contribution program called “Hope-Sharing Donation.” The 12th floor features a stress-free zone called “Employee Lounge,” an area only accessible to our employees. We also set up our “Exciting Zone” with exercise machines, a pool table, a ping-pong table, a foosball table, and an electronic dart set. In the “Employee Lounge,” there are coffee machines available for everyone in the company. This gives colleagues a chance to enjoy a coffee break with others, or spend time alone while relaxing in massage chairs or in rooms designed to rest, and which are separated for men and women.These various resting and activity zones help facilitate the creativity of employees, leading them to improve the quality of their work output.

Supporting Personal Development

Korean Re’s online library was launched in 2019. All employees at the head office and overseas branches, as well as other offices, can access online books by computer, personal tablet, mobile phone, or other mobile devices.We at Korean Re strongly encourage employees to seek diverse activities for fun and socializing with colleagues. In addition to existing clubs for hiking, bowling, swimming, skiing, baseball, tennis, soccer, fishing, literature, band practice, marathons, and indoor golf. In 2017, we organized new clubs for dancing, magic performances, e-sports, cycling, table tennis, ceramic art, and book clubs. In 2018, we created DIY (Do It Yourself), charity volunteering, photography, indoor wall climbing, and board game (Genius) clubs. In 2019, we added a cooking club to this list. As a result, there are about 30 clubs that reflect the diverse interests of different generations of employees at Korean Re, all of which provide an opportunity for personal development as well as time to have fun with teammates and colleagues.
