SK D&D operates various happiness management programs to foster close relationships among employees and cultivate a positive organizational culture. To develop our unique organizational culture, we are implementing the ABCD (A Better Company D&D) project, which supports communication, training, and work innovation across all employees. We conduct an annual 'Happiness Survey' among all employees to evaluate the effectiveness of our happiness management programs. Feedback gathered from the survey is actively incorporated into our organizational culture direction and activity planning. In addition, we encourage organizational communication activities such as ABCD Open Talk, Networking Day, and internal social club activities to facilitate smooth communication between the CEO and employees, thereby enhancing employees' sense of belonging and happiness within the organization.

2024년에는 회사·경영진·구성원 간 정보 공유와 소통을 위한 타운홀 미팅 ‘ABCD 오픈톡’, 비즈니스와 관련된 새로운 인사이트와 경험을 제공하는 공개 강연 ‘ABCD 세미나’, 구성원의 핵심 역량을 강화하고 차세대 리더를 육성하는 성장 프로그램 ‘ABCD 캠퍼스’, 직무 이해도 향상과 유대감 형성을 돕는 구성원 인터뷰 ‘디앤디언 릴레이 인터뷰’, 구성원의 자발적 참여를 기반으로 한 사내 동호회 및 지원 활동 ‘이달의 동호회’ 등을 통해 구성원의 행복 증진에 기여하고 있습니다.

또한 매년 전 구성원을 대상으로 기업문화를 진단하는 ‘컬처 서베이’와 구성원의 행복 수준을 측정하는 ‘행복 베터리 서베이’를 시행하여 프로그램의 효과성을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 개선점을 도출해 향후 프로그램 기획에 적극 반영하고 있습니다.

To actively improve the organizational culture, SK D&D convenes the Management Development Council, a consultative body composed of both company executives and employees, as well as All-Hands Meeting where the grievances and opinions of all employees are heard. The Management Development Council comprises three executives and three employee representatives and meets quarterly to discuss the maintenance and improvement of working conditions and other management issues. Decisions and collective agreements reached through the Council are universally applied to all employees. Additionally, the All-Hands Meeting functions as a platform for sharing mid- and long-term corporate strategies and performance, organizational culture, grievances, and improvement suggestions with all employees. Going forward, we will continue to foster an organizational culture of communication and empathy through diverse programs.

‘ABCD 오픈톡’은 회사-경영진-구성원 간 정보 공유와 소통을 위한 타운홀 미팅으로 약 1~2개월에 한 번 수시로 개최하며, 경영 전략과 실적, 전망을 공유하고 주요 뉴스와 구성원 소식을 나누는 자리입니다. 앞으로도 다양한 프로그램을 운영하여 소통하고 공감하는 기업문화를 조성해 나가겠습니다.

SK D&D supports various welfare programs that promote work-life balance to enhance employee happiness. The key welfare programs include integrated welfare benefits, bereavement/scholarship support, rewards for long-term employees, and coverage for medical check-ups for employees and their families. We aim to expand customized welfare programs by identifying employee needs through a number of different communication channels, including the Management Development Council.

SK D&D operates a maternity protection program to foster a family-friendly and positive corporate culture that supports a healthy work-life balance. Our maternity protection program provides shortened working hours, adjusted commuting hours, and paid leave for medical check-ups, treatment, and rest throughout the pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting periods. We will continue to strive to reduce the burden of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare on our employees, and provide them with the necessary support to maintain and develop their careers.

SK D&D supports employees to develop into 'warm professionals' who can create growth and performance by immersing themselves joyfully with passionate colleagues, based on the direction of nurturing employees through 'Virtuous Cycle for Deep Change and Happiness.' Through a systematic talent development system that provides various work and educational support programs, we seek to nurture individuals who are both 'warm-hearted'—caring for each other with a sense of pride and community—and 'professional'—enjoying the implementation of clear, challenging goals and sharing their experiences.

SK D&D Talent Vision

SK D&D carries out competency-driven recruitment grounded in fair and equal opportunities. Through the SKCT (SK Competency Test)*, we objectively verify the comprehensive competencies that SK employees should possess. To ensure fair opportunities during the recruitment process, we formalize internal regulations prohibiting discrimination based on gender, age, social status, region of origin, school, marital status, pregnancy, and medical history. In addition, we strive to implement fair and transparent recruitment policies, by prioritizing socially vulnerable groups, including individuals with disabilities and low-income backgrounds when screening recruitment documents, and utilizing internal assessments to improve our recruitment efficiency.

Furthermore, SK D&D operates an internal referral system to expand the pool of external talent, aiming to recruit top talent and improve organizational performance. We also operate a buddy program that provides one-on-one support to new employees, helping them adapt to the new work environment. This program supports new employees in assimilating smoothly into SK D&D's organizational culture and work environment through interactions with their buddies.

SK D&D operates an objective performance evaluation system to encourage the development and growth of employees’ competencies and to build a competency-based, performance-driven culture. We set annual performance goals for employees and actively support their goal achievement through year-round competency assessments, staged reviews and interviews as part of our performance management process. Based on a fair performance evaluation process, we provide compensation and promotion opportunities aligned with employees' performance. Looking ahead, we plan to further expand not only monetary rewards but also various non-monetary incentives to enhance motivation and job satisfaction among our employees.
