Molex Korea (CEO Lee Jae-hoon) won the '2016 Best Company to Work For Award' hosted by The Korea Economic Magazine for the seventh consecutive year.

The 'Great Place to Work Award,' first established in 2007 and now in its 10th year, is a prestigious awards ceremony hosted by The Korea Economic Magazine and organized by Hankyung Business, Money, and Campus Job & Joy. It selects and awards the nation's best 'great place to work' based on research data from the job information site Saramin, The Korea University Newspaper, and Campus Job & Joy.

Lee Jae-hoon, CEO of Molex Korea, who received the 'Best Company to Work For Award' at the awards ceremony held at the Grand Hilton Hotel in Hongeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on March 31, said, “I believe that the honor of Molex Korea winning the 'Best Company to Work For Award' for seven consecutive years is, above all, due to our efforts to create a workplace where members can take pride in their work and steadily develop their careers amidst an atmosphere that values mutual trust between management and employees, as well as excellent teamwork and communication.”

Based on this, Molex Korea will foster a more free and creative organizational culture so that the dreams and visions of all employees can be enthusiastically realized. "I believe it is the management's job to further increase the sense of pride in belonging to the company through this," he said, expressing his thoughts on the award and his determination.

The criteria for the 'Great Place to Work' award are based on the pride employees feel in the company and high performance satisfaction, stemming from the trust and leadership provided by the company, its CEO, and management. Accordingly, The Korea Economic Magazine evaluates and selects winners based on factors such as corporate finances, welfare benefits, and contributions to society.

Marking the 32nd anniversary of the establishment of its domestic subsidiary, Molex Korea was evaluated as having excellent management credibility and leadership, as well as high pride among its members. Following last year's award, Molex Korea anticipates that this award will further enhance its social contribution and external standing.

Meanwhile, true to its corporate culture that emphasizes communication, Molex Korea utilizes its internal intranet free bulletin board, "Sotong," as a platform for open communication. Based on this culture of free communication, the Young Professionals Group (YPG) activities are taking place within the company. Driven by a Diversity & Inclusion policy, the YPG hosts events in various fields—including self-development, volunteer work, communication, sports, and hobbies—with young employees at its core. Furthermore, "Lex's Go," an electronic company newsletter produced in-house by employees, not only shares various internal news but also provides diverse cultural activities through events such as concerts, movies, amusement park tickets, and dining vouchers.

Meanwhile, Molex Korea is also actively investing in the self-development of its individual employees. Specifically, in addition to providing foreign language learning opportunities through in-house language programs, various types of step-by-step and hierarchical training programs, such as lectures by invited external instructors and external training, are also being successfully operated.

The recently launched Employee Exchange Program is gaining popularity for providing employees with opportunities for overseas training, aiming to enhance work efficiency and personal vision in the global era. In addition, it supports tuition fees for children attending school from kindergarten to university, and provides operating expenses for more than 15 clubs through in-house facilities such as gyms and tennis courts to promote employees' leisure activities and health.
