Labor relations experts identified 'healthy organizational culture' as the most important factor in creating a workplace employees want to work in.
The Central Labor Relations Commission announced the results of a survey conducted from May 8 to 15 with 1,434 commissioners and researchers on the 8th. The commission is an administrative body that mediates and adjudicates disputes related to labor-management issues.
Of these, 44.7% named 'an organization culture free of discrimination and harassment' as the most urgent factor when asked, 'What is the most pressing element for a workplace where you want to work?'
'Fair compensation based on performance' (36.6%), 'ability to demonstrate and develop skills' (11.4%), and 'flexible working hours and clear responsibilities' (7.3%) followed in that order.
They also prioritized 'smooth interpersonal relationships' (38.8%) as the most important factor in becoming a coworker they want to work with. 'Recognized work abilities by superiors and colleagues' (27.9%) followed.
Moreover, they identified 'establishing a culture of trust in the workplace' (73.1%) as the most effective method for preventing and resolving workplace disputes.
Chairman Kim Tae-ki noted, 'To revitalize the economy with the new government, it is important to foster trust among members so that it becomes a workplace where they want to work.'
