Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il Introduces District Division Status, Organizational Restructuring, and Promotion Expansion Plans

Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il held a 'communication forum' at the Suji-gu Office conference room on the 8th, listening to employees' various suggestions regarding city administration and difficulties encountered in the field.

At the forum, employees raised diverse opinions and suggestions including personnel evaluation methods, support for new public officials' adaptation and attrition prevention measures, personnel allocation to reduce workload, and expansion of health checkup capacity and institutions.

When Suji-gu employees requested an opportunity to take educational courses to improve artificial intelligence (AI) competency, Mayor Lee instructed relevant departments to "not only conduct training at city hall, but also conduct it at district offices and organize a list of online educational programs to announce to employees."

In response to a suggestion to prepare measures to prevent attrition of new public officials, the mayor instructed relevant departments to review strengthening support for mentors participating in new official mentoring programs.

Prior to the forum, Mayor Lee said in his opening remarks, "There have been many achievements and changes until the 9th mayoral term, and I believe these achievements were possible because I worked together with you. I have made efforts to improve employees' working conditions, and I will maintain this direction during the 9th mayoral term."

The mayor introduced the organizational operational direction including the status of district division initiatives, organizational restructuring plans such as establishment of new divisions and teams and personnel expansion, personnel management direction such as expanded seniority-based promotions and preferential treatment for employees in disaster and intensive work departments, and employee welfare.

Meanwhile, this forum was organized to reflect opinions from a consultation meeting with the Yongin Special City Labor Union in August and to broadly listen to opinions from employees working in the field.

Mayor Lee held a communication forum with Giheung-gu staff at Giheung-gu Office on the 6th, and plans to hold a communication forum with Cheokin-gu staff at Cheokin-gu Office on the 12th.
