According to the county on the 5th, the monthly employee assemblies, which had not been held during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been resumed since June to provide a platform for communication and harmony among employees. Through voluntary presentations, they are not only generating ideas for county administration development but also pioneering a new culture by sharing information among staff.

At the regular assembly in September, a total of four junior public officials will share information and build consensus for county administration development through 5-minute speeches on various topics such as "Before and After Becoming a Public Official," "Bustling with Books and People at 1004 Bookstore," "Civilian Casualty Incidents in Shinan-gun Before and After the Korean War," and "Achievements in Garden Creation and the Necessity of Gardens."

Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, "In the past, regular assemblies were rigid, focused mainly on the governor’s instructions, and employees participated reluctantly. Recently, they have become so popular that there are no remaining seats in the main auditorium," adding, "Employees now enjoy snacks and communicate with their colleagues’ stories with pleasure. We plan to take the lead in creating a new public service culture across various fields."
