[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Lotte Card announced on the 30th that it won the Grand Prize at the '2021 Work-Life Balance Excellent Company Case Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

This contest is an event that evaluates and awards workplaces that have contributed to improving corporate competitiveness and enhancing workers' quality of life by improving employment culture through various systems and activities, based on practicality, concreteness, applicability, and communication.

Lotte Card was highly evaluated for its efforts to establish a work-life balance culture by promoting various internal campaigns such as a code of conduct that leaders must follow, working smartly, and refraining from work-related contact after leaving work.

In addition, Lotte Card operates various systems to balance employees' work and life and increase job satisfaction. It has introduced flexible work systems, PC off systems, and telecommuting systems to create a flexible organizational culture environment. It also implements systems encouraging rest and leave, such as automatic parental leave, family care leave, elementary school child care leave, and shared annual leave systems. Furthermore, it operates a workplace daycare center and supports work-family balance through family-friendly management by shortening working hours for pregnant or childcare workers.

A Lotte Card official said, "We are striving to explore and improve systems from the employees' perspective," adding, "We will devote ourselves further to creating family-friendly welfare systems and environments that improve work-life balance in line with the times."
