SK Networks is expanding hands-on employee programs and executive communication events as it pushes to build what it calls a company that grows together. The company said the effort goes beyond benefits, aiming to strengthen interaction and collaboration among employees through workplace culture.
The company said it recently held a “carnation candle-making” event ahead of Family Month and Parents’ Day, allowing employees to create gifts for their parents. Earlier, during the Lunar New Year holiday period, it ran an “icing cookie class” where employees decorated cookies as a creative break from work.
SK Networks said it continues to offer experience-based programs that support work-life balance, including a spring “Cheonggyecheon running class” and a “personal tea blending class.” The company said the activities are intended to do more than provide hobbies, helping employees communicate more naturally and build a collaborative culture.
One employee who joined the icing cookie class said it was “a time to put down work stress for a while and recharge creative energy,” adding, “I hope there will be more programs like this where we can communicate comfortably with colleagues.”
The company is also strengthening forums that bring management and employees together. SK Networks said it runs “SKMS Day” on the third Friday of every month, including a “Connect Time” session in which the CEO and other executives share the company’s status and direction.
Connect Time includes team introductions, presentations on best practices in AI and digital transformation, an SKMS quiz and lectures by outside speakers, the company said. It is held both online and offline so all employees can participate, and it also serves as a platform where employee feedback can be reflected in management, SK Networks said.
The company said interest and participation have risen this year as it has expanded content on strong AX (AI transformation) cases and practical experience sharing. SK Networks said it plans to further broaden field-focused communication to strengthen execution and organizational cohesion.
“Communication between management and employees is key to strengthening execution,” a SK Networks official said. “As an AI-centered business holding company, we will continue to expand sincere communication programs to build a foundation for growth.”
