Realizing temp-to-perm transition
Hanwha was the first company among the top 10 Korean conglomerates to switch 2,043 temporary jobs to permanent positions at the end of January, 2013.

As a result, the share of temporary workers in Hanwha’s overall payroll structure dropped from 17% to 10.4%. This is less than one third of Korea’s average standing at 33.8%, and even significantly less than OECD average at 25%. In addition, with 60% of the permanent- switched positions occupied by women, Hanwha has contributed to women empowerment, a major issue of today’s society.

Temporary workers in Korea are typically employed on a two-year contract and are significantly more vulnerable in terms of job stability compared with permanent positions.
Job-centric personnel management and promotion/ compensation structure
Hanwha’s job grade system does not follow seniority or salary class but the value of the duty each employee assumes.

Unlike in the past when job grades were structured according to the length of service, the company applies an advanced personnel management system that centers on individuals’ competency, performance, and the value of duty each employee assumes. Those whose performance and competency in their respective positions are fully verified will be moved to a higher job position. Likewise, when the value of the given job position goes up, promotion will be carried out. Individuals’ competency, performance, and growth potential are subject to a fair and rigid evaluation process. The fast-track system, in particular, offers faster promotion opportunities to those who excel at their jobs to provide more chances for growth. The compensation structure has been reshuffled to focus on performance to encourage ambitious goal-setting and achievement (e.g. increasing incentives over basic salary) in line with Hanwha’s vision. It also includes a spot bonus program for high performers.

Welfare for the happiness of every Hanwha employee

A caring welfare system for working mothers
The happiness of every family begins with the mother’s own.

This is why Hanwha Group emphasizes employee benefits particularly focused on childbirth and childcare and puts women-related welfare on top of anything else. Hanwha subsidizes subfertility treatment and procedure costs to encourage pregnancy and childbirth, in addition to allowing shorter working hours and providing prenatal and baby products through the「Hanwha Moms Package」designed to support healthy and happy births. After giving birth, working moms at Hanwha can choose their working hours during early days of childcare. Furthermore, the in-house daycare and nursery allow them to take care of their children even while at work. The company also grants leave of absence around start of school semester for parental support.

A warm-hearted welfare for the wellbeing of families
Hanwha Group believes true employee welfare can only be achieved by taking care of both the employees and their families.

Accordingly, the Group adopts the「Refresh Leave」system, which allows employees to take up to 10 consecutive business days to leave work and spend the time with their families. In order to encourage actual use of Refresh leaves, employees are offered Hanwha’s accommodation services and leisure facilities (e.g. Hanwha Resorts) at a discount or are given Welfare Points which can be used like money. The Group wants its people to truly benefit from “refreshing” with their families during their time off. Affiliate companies run their own welfare programs:「Family Day」is a given day of a week designated to promote a culture of work-life balance.
