Beyond Coway is a two-day vision training course offered to employees to help them understand Coway’s business philosophy of “belief in goodness” and internalize its core values. Employees are able to gain insight in a new space away from their usual office environment. This helps them consider ways through which both they and the company can grow together. In 2016, Coway shared the “belief in goodness” experienced on the field with 572 branch managers and studied cases of success at a “talk concert.”

CEO and newly-hired employees freely share values and bond together.

Experience-oriented communication program for each division to openly share issues and suggest ideas through new experiences outside the office

Each month at Coway, newly-hired employees have an opportunity to introduce themselves in front of all other employees. This helps them build a sense of belonging and work in a more comfortable environment.

Promote labor-management communication by holding regular labor-management meetings and workshops.
Handle grievances via “Pine Tree Bakery,” the in-house online consultation channel.

Coway has established a health and safety management system to prevent accidents through effective management and continuous improvement activities. In addition, we are striving to improve the health and quality of life of our employees and stakeholders by cooperating with business sites and suppliers providing safety & health education materials and evaluating them. We have established an advanced system in two domestic factories(Yugu, Incheon factory) and acquired and maintained the health & safety management system certification (OHSAS / KOSHA 18001).

As an overall consultation and consensus on health and safety, the Occupational Safety and Health Committee, which consists of the same number of labor and management, is operating quarterly. The committee is responsible for the establishment of an industrial accident prevention plan, the preparation and revision of the health & safety management regulations, the safety of workers, and issues concerning health education.

Coway operates a 'Keeping happiness activities' that consists of managers, representatives of employees to prevent and improve safety and health-related issues. Keeping happiness activities are held twice a month, and 32 out of 56 improvements (57.1%) have been improved through inspections and improvements are continuing on unfinished items. In addition, we checked the safety status of the suppliers and maintenance status of the forklift trucks, fire-fighting facilities, and use of dangerous machinery. We will continue to provide a healthy working environment and create an autonomous safety culture.

In order to promote the health promotion of our employees, we support the advance diagnosis of high-risk disadvantaged people, strengthen post management, and provide exercise therapy programs for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal diseases. In addition, we strive to improve employee fitness through lifestyle improvement programs such as weight control events and low-salt diet management.
