Changwon Special City Holds Workshop for Low-Tenure Public Officials: "Communicate and Recharge"

This workshop, held for the first time this year, is designed to support the stable adaptation and continuous growth of newly appointed public officials. It will run for two days until November 6. The program focuses on sharing experiences gained during the first year of service, fostering emotional stability, and strengthening bonds and a sense of belonging within the organization through team-building activities.

The main programs include: a talk show for public officials where colleagues share their experiences and exchange know-how with senior officials; asset management education tailored for newcomers to the workforce; and various collaborative activities that use AI techniques to analyze and solve problems.

In particular, the team-building activities incorporating AI techniques received high satisfaction from participants, as they highlighted the importance of creative thinking and collaboration in problem-solving.

One newly appointed civil servant who attended the workshop commented, "I still vividly remember the day I started my work with much encouragement during the orientation right after my appointment. Now, a year later, I am grateful and honored to share another moment of growth together through this workshop."

Jung Sookyi, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, stated, "Through this workshop, participants were able to share their concerns, learn know-how from senior colleagues, and develop a sense of pride as members of Changwon Special City. We plan to continue operating various programs to ensure that low-tenure employees can grow stably in the future."

In 2026, the city plans to lead organizational culture innovation and establishment through various initiatives, such as the 'Intergenerational Empathy Class' where both junior and senior staff participate, and the 'Integrated Employee Stress Survey (IESS)' to support healthy public service life by managing stress for all employees.
