Recently Job Planet and Fortune Korea co-hosted 'Korea’s Top 50 Working Environments' at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul.
A studyvwas conducted of both large scale companies as well as small & medium sized enterprises, including the startups. From April to November a short list of 792 was chosen from a total of 140,000. After final assessment, 50 companies were awarded on the night.
The criteria to select the most satisfying work environment were as follows: Potential for promotion, wages and welfare, balance between work and personal life, work atmosphere, and management.
For the large-scale companies, SK Innovation and Woowa Bros were nominated as the best.
"I hope this event gives opportunities to the companies with great working environments to be recognized publically. Over some areas, medium sized companies showed higher grades compared to larger companies which can be a great guide for others looking for new jobs." Said representative Hee-seung Hwang of Job Planet.
