Establishment of Organizational Culture Team, Park Leisure Team, and Public Architecture Team 2... Improving Organizational Culture and Responding to New Administrative Demands

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) is reorganizing its organization and will implement it starting from the 15th of this month.

The district diagnosed problems that arose after the large-scale organizational restructuring in January 2023 and conducted an internal organizational diagnosis from March to May this year to prepare a reorganization plan for improvement and supplementation.

The second organizational restructuring of the 8th elected term is based on actively responding to new administrative demands arising from social and environmental changes, and efficiently operating the organization through team mergers and personnel reallocation to promptly promote pledged projects.

This reorganization maintains the existing structure of 6 bureaus, 2 offices, 35 divisions, and 157 teams (based on the main office), but internally restructures by ▲establishing 3 new teams ▲abolishing or transferring 2 teams ▲merging 1 team ▲renaming 5 teams ▲transferring 2 tasks, and plans to reallocate personnel by department.

Key restructuring details include the establishment of the Organizational Culture Team, Park Leisure Team, and Public Architecture Team 2 in the General Affairs Division, Park and Greenery Division, and Architecture Division, respectively. The Organizational Culture Team will serve as a communication channel between generations, especially focusing on MZ generation public officials who have become a social issue, and will strive for organizational integration. The Park Leisure Team is designed to expand everyday resting spaces, and the Public Architecture Team 2 is set up to promptly respond to and promote residents' demands for cultural, welfare, and convenience facilities.

Additionally, the organization will be restructured focusing on core areas such as major priority tasks and pledged projects to enhance work efficiency. The Contract Review Team of the Audit Office and the Architectural Information Team of the Architecture Division will be abolished, with their tasks transferred to the Audit Team and Architectural Planning Team, respectively. In the Cleaning Administration Division, the Recycling Activation Team and Food Waste Management Team will be integrated into the Resource Circulation Team.

The welfare sector will also unify customized welfare service tasks to provide convenience to residents. The solitary death tasks within the Case Management Team of the Livelihood Security Division and the Single-Person Household Support Team will be reorganized into the Solitary Death Policy Team of the Welfare Policy Division, and the Housing Benefit Team of the Disabled Welfare Division will move to the Livelihood Security Division.

Other changes include transferring tasks related to the Saemaeul Women's Association from the Family Childcare Division to the Autonomous Administration Division, and moving the operation and management of the Startup and Workers Comprehensive Support Center from the Regional Economy Division to the Job Support Division.

Furthermore, to improve task visibility by team, the Welfare Team of the General Affairs Division will be renamed the Welfare Labor Team, the Learning Support Team of the Education Support Division will become the Career and College Admission Team, the Child and Youth Team of the Child and Youth Division will be renamed the Youth Welfare Team, the Public Architecture Team of the Architecture Division will be Public Architecture Team 1, and the Energy Saving Team of the Environment Division will be renamed the Environmental Policy Team.

Moreover, in line with the government's policy of freezing total personnel, Guro-gu plans to reallocate personnel from declining or overlapping functions to core areas such as pledged projects without changing the total number of staff, accelerating the promotion of priority projects needed by residents.

Mayor Moon Heon-il of Guro-gu said, “This organizational restructuring reflects Guro-gu’s determination to proactively and efficiently address local issues,” and added, “We will do our best to actively implement policies that residents can feel and provide high-quality administrative services.”
