Dongwon F&B announced on the 17th that it has been recognized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor for its contributions to the practice of harmonious labor-management culture and has been selected as a '2025 Excellent Company for Labor-Management Culture.'
Since the establishment of its labor union in 1988, Dongwon F&B has maintained a stable labor-management culture without a single dispute for 37 years.
The company has separated negotiation units according to the roles of union members and stabilized the negotiation system through a multi-union solution agreement. It has also restructured the labor-management council (One Mind Council) to complete a field-oriented opinion collection system. The introduction of labor-management cooperation programs aims to build mutual trust, and the company is working to prevent serious accidents through joint safety and health inspection activities.
Moreover, the labor and management at Dongwon F&B are also striving for external cooperation. Since 2004, they have been conducting volunteer activities monthly at places like Grace House and Teresa's House and participated in the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service (K-COMWEL) support project for the formation of cooperative ties, providing a total of 200 million won to 38 partner companies.
In addition, starting in 2023, the company has been operating a 'Culture Designer' program in which young employees directly participate as 'change managers.' Employees selected as culture designers suggest cultural and institutional measures to create a better workplace and play a role in forming a desirable organizational culture through the development of educational content and planning cultural events.
A representative of Dongwon F&B stated, 'This recognition as an excellent company for labor-management culture is the result of our continuous efforts for labor-management harmony at our institutional sectors and business sites.' He added, 'We will continue to maintain an exemplary labor-management culture that responds to each other's needs between the labor union and management.'
