Korea&Company Group said on the 18th that it held a "Knowledge Sharing Session" and disclosed details of the event on the 21st. Led by Chairman Cho Hyun-bum, Korea&Company Group shared the experience of Hankookdonggeurami Partners with employees across the group through the session.
The event was themed "The Story of Hankookdonggeurami Partners Building a Culture of Communication and an Inclusive Workplace." The presentation was delivered by Kim Soo-hyun, who is in charge of the HR Support Team at Hankookdonggeurami Partners.
Hankookdonggeurami Partners was founded in 2015 as a subsidiary-type standard workplace for people with disabilities, created to generate jobs for people with disabilities. The company has experience in building a culture of communication and inclusion, and the presentation explained how the organization, which started with hiring people with disabilities, has expanded that culture based on its corporate mission.
The presentation said the company's mission, "Providing hope and value to socially vulnerable groups," was the starting point for its culture-building efforts. It also said the scope of its key activities covered three areas: the local community, customers, and employees, and that its main approach was direct participation and experience-based activities.
Examples included community engagement activities. As community engagement cases, the company highlighted sponsorship-linked support for a disabled badminton league and the hosting of "Crossover Day" in May.
Hankookdonggeurami Partners has sponsored disabled badminton competitions since 2024, and this year it expanded its support by arranging driving experience sessions on Hankook Technoring for the athletes and wheelchair badminton experience programs for employees. Through these efforts, it broadened mutual exchange in the sponsorship relationship.
The company also introduced "Green Impact Day" as a customer-linked activity, connecting employee donations across the group with resource circulation and jobs for people with disabilities. In May, group employees donated clothing, and employees at Hankookdonggeurami Partners washed the donated clothes before delivering them to Goodwill Store. They later visited the store to help organize items and assist with sales.
Along with that, the company introduced programs to improve mutual understanding and communication among employees. It runs sign language classes led directly by an employee who uses sign language as an instructor, as well as the wheelchair badminton experience program "ON Court" and an accessibility awareness program using mobility aids. Hankookdonggeurami Partners continues to operate activities in which employees learn and experience things firsthand.
The Knowledge Sharing Session is a companywide communication program launched in August 2023 based on Korea&Company Group's distinctive "Proactive Culture" and Chairman Cho Hyun-bum's core management philosophy.
Korea&Company Group said the session provided an opportunity to share how Hankookdonggeurami Partners, which began with job creation, has built a culture of communication and inclusion together with its employees. The group also said it plans to continue creating opportunities for employees to share field experience and deepen mutual understanding among staff.
