iM Financial Chairman Hwang Byung-woo Holds Town Hall With Employees

iM Financial Group said Monday it held a town hall meeting at iM Bank’s second headquarters to strengthen communication with holding company employees.

The event, titled “iM PRO Donation Challenge with the CEO,” combined an open discussion with a participatory giving program run by the iM Social Contribution Foundation.

Chairman Hwang Byung-woo has promoted employee communication as an ongoing part of corporate culture since taking office. The group held town halls last year on themes including “COFFEE with CEO,” which featured a barista experience, and “Talk & ART.” This year’s session paired donations for vulnerable groups with a candid Q&A between Hwang and employees.

The meeting focused on the group’s new way of working, “iM P.R.O (W.O.W ver.2).” “iM P.R.O,” proposed by Hwang, is built around five core keywords: creativity, performance, responsibility, cooperation and autonomy, and is intended to guide professional work practices.

Hwang and employees exchanged unfiltered questions and answers on topics including his reflections after ending his concurrent role as bank president, the link between individual achievement and company growth, and insights from attending CES 2026. The group also recognized “iM PRO outstanding employees” selected through a pre-event survey, underscoring a performance- and behavior-focused culture.

“Communication between the CEO and employees, without being bound by formality, is the foundation of an organization’s competitiveness,” Hwang said. “We will build a corporate culture where enjoyable communication like today leads to enjoyable work and an enjoyable workplace.”
