The Small Business Market Promotion Agency announced that it held its third-quarter Labor-Management Council meeting on September 17 in Dream Square, Mapo District, Seoul, followed by a shopping event at Mangwon Market in preparation for Chuseok.
This meeting was conducted in an open format, allowing employees to participate, moving away from the previous approach that primarily involved agency leaders and union representatives.
The agency plans to foster a trusted labor-management culture based on participation and communication among its members.
Following the meeting, officials visited Mangwon Market to assess the supply and price trends of essential goods and to listen to on-site concerns.
The items purchased during the shopping event will be delivered to four senior centers in the area, including Songbaek, Seorim, Daeju, and Ochil, through the Mangwon 1-dong Community Center, benefiting elderly residents living alone.
Additionally, a community service activity titled 'Community Coexistence Sharing Volunteer Activity' was conducted for elderly individuals living alone in Dong-gu, Daejeon, where the proportion of solitary seniors is high.
A volunteer team of 10 from the agency delivered blankets and 10 kg of rice to 50 households of elderly individuals living alone and provided companionship services to check on their well-being and health.
Intae Yeon, the agency's director, stated, "We will continue to engage in field-centered social contribution activities with our employees to collaboratively address community issues and promote coexistence."
