LG Energy Solution accelerates drive to improve working conditions

By Jhoo Dong-chan, The Korea Times - LG Energy Solution is accelerating its drive to create more jobs and improve working conditions for its employees.

The battery maker, recognized as one of the top 100 employers for job creation by the government in September, has actively undertaken diverse steps to upgrade the quality of its workplace.

To enhance employee convenience and accessibility, it has set up 101 outpost offices across the country, including remote areas such as Jeju Island.

It has also extended its one-year parental leave to two years, while strengthening paid leave for pregnant workers and operating in-house kindergartens. Of its in-house kindergartens, the Ochang Energy Plant kindergarten occupies about 2,000 square meters, the largest such facility operated by a private company in the Cheongju area.

It has implemented pay raises for two consecutive years from 2021 despite the sluggish economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also operates in-house medical centers in its three operation bases in Seoul, Daejeon and Ochang.

Thanks to its efforts, LG Energy Solution was the only Korean company named in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) list this year. The GPTW is an international agency that evaluates various organizations based on employee experience every year.

“LG Energy Solution has become one of the most desirable companies in Korea among young workers,” said a company official. “On top of improving working conditions, we will continue to award our workers boldly who demonstrate outstanding performance.”

The number of LG Energy Solution workers reached 12,000 in the second quarter of this year, a sharp rise from 7,500 in 2020 when it became an independent corporate entity. Ninety-eight percent of employees at the company are permanent workers. (Advertorial)
