How far will Mayor Kim Kyung-ho's communication efforts in Gwangjin District go?
Since his inauguration as the 8th elected mayor of Gwangjin District, Mayor Kim has shown tremendous interest in communicating with employees.
This is interpreted as a strategic move by Mayor Kim to foster a warm organizational culture and improve the quality of services for district residents.
These communication efforts by Mayor Kim continue steadily.
Through the first regular ordinance meeting of the new year, Mayor Kim has connected the ‘Communication Talk Concert’ with the ‘Straightforward Dialogue Room,’ and continues active communication and empathy with employees through initiatives such as ‘Birthday Celebration Day’ with employees celebrating their birthdays, and ‘How to Use Good Friend Kim Kyung-ho (Text the Mayor for Counseling).’
Meanwhile, another internal communication channel in Gwangjin District has been activated.
On the 9th, unusually, the union branch chief representing employees' voices attended the district-dong expanded executive meeting. This was proposed by Mayor Kim Kyung-ho to promote harmony with employees through proper understanding and expanded communication regarding district administrative issues.
Additionally, hopeful employees below grade 7 were allowed to observe, providing an opportunity to directly feel and empathize with district administrative issues.
Furthermore, to operate the district-dong expanded executive meetings more efficiently and facilitate smooth collaboration between departments, the attendance was expanded to include the Facilities Management Corporation and the Culture and Welfare Foundation, and the frequency of meetings was consolidated from twice a month to once a month.
Previously, the district included the union in the T/F task force established to promote transparent and fair personnel management and foster a desirable organizational culture, reflecting employees' thoughts and opinions. The ‘Exchange Cooperation Team’ was renamed the ‘Labor-Management External Cooperation Team,’ opening a genuine communication channel with employees.
Mayor Kim Kyung-ho of Gwangjin District said, “There is a tendency to feel uncomfortable about the union. It is necessary to improve relations through close dialogue in labor-management relations,” and added, “We need to meet and talk frequently. I will share and communicate district administrative issues and employees' opinions together with the union.”
Going forward, the district plans to take the lead in creating a vibrant and flexible organizational culture through various communication channels with employees, such as ‘Communication and Talk Meetings with New Employees,’ ‘Mukbang Meetings with Employees Who Have Completed Probation,’ and ‘Encouragement Meetings for Friendly Employees.’
