Gyeongbuk Technopark is exemplary in operating various family-friendly policies to help its employees balance work and family life.

The organization has continuously promoted a family-friendly corporate culture through flexible work arrangements, paternity leave, and customized welfare programs. As a result, it first obtained family-friendly certification from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2019 and has been selected as a family-friendly certified company for three consecutive terms, including in 2022 and 2024.

Hain Sung, President of Gyeongbuk Technopark, stated, "Population issues are a shared challenge that require the interest and cooperation of businesses, society, government, and local governments alike," and added, "I will take the lead in ensuring that all employees can enjoy a harmonious life where work and family coexist through a stable working environment."

Hain Sung nominated Bae Youngho, President of Pohang Technopark, and Yoon Chilsuk, President of the Gyeongbuk Institute of IT Convergence Industry Technology, as the next participants in the campaign, encouraging its continued expansion.
