In an era where people frequently change jobs in search of a good job or higher salary, employees increasingly prioritize work-life balance and corporate culture over salary when considering a career change. Lenovo Korea has been ranked among the best companies to work for in South Korea.

Lenovo Korea announced on the 8th that it was selected as a '2023 Great Company to Work For in Korea' by the Great Place to Work Institute (GPTW), a global trust management evaluation organization, and hosted by GPTW Korea.

At this awards ceremony, Lenovo Korea ranked 17th among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Korea in 2023, and Lenovo Korea Site Leader Shin Kyu-sik, CEO, was selected as the most respected CEO in Korea.

Lenovo Korea was also recognized for its institutional foundation for balancing work and family life and for establishing a corporate culture that is conducive to working mothers, and was included on the list of "Great Companies for Women and Working Moms in Korea." Additionally, Lenovo Korea jointly won awards in the "Best Companies to Work For in Korea for Millennials" and "Best Companies to Work For in Korea for Seniors." Joo Hyun-mi, head of Lenovo Korea's HR team, was named the "GPTW Innovation Leader in Korea."

Lenovo Korea's corporate culture is based on the principle of "People First." Ultimately, people define the company's vision and culture, and the sense of accomplishment and belonging felt by employees is the foundation of Lenovo's business. Lenovo implements a flexible work schedule to promote work-life balance, conducts diversity and inclusion training twice a year, and operates an open forum and innovation center to facilitate open communication about company culture and company life.

Lenovo Korea's people-centered culture ultimately leads to customer satisfaction. As the company slogan suggests, "Happy employees create happy customers," employees set at least one customer-focused goal each year when setting their personal goals. Additionally, we regularly hold 'CX (Customer Experience) Day' to share within the company the efforts and best practices of employees to reflect the voices of internal and external customers.

“A corporate culture that prioritizes employee happiness and fulfillment naturally leads to positive work performance and company growth,” said Shin Kyu-sik, CEO of Lenovo Korea Site Leader. “At this time, it is important to support an open culture where employees and departments can exchange ideas and feedback, as well as an attitude of listening to others’ opinions.”

He also said, “Considering the diverse age groups and individual lives of our employees, including the MZ generation, seniors, and working moms, we will spare no support to create a work environment and corporate culture that is continuously good for our employees.”

Meanwhile, the GPTW Institute is an organization that researches and promotes trust management in collaboration with 103 countries around the world, including the United States, Europe, Central and South America, Japan, and China. Evaluations are conducted through a trust management index and a cultural assessment, comprised of five categories: trust, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
