The eighth-term workplace council achieved results including hosting inter-departmental sports competitions, providing entrance congratulation bonuses for newly hired employees' children, and operating rental car services to create an invigorating workplace atmosphere and develop leisure culture.

As discussion items, the council has been working on employee welfare and benefits by expanding welfare point allocations, improving office working conditions, and enhancing on-duty work conditions.

Through communication with members, we will expand support in areas that are insufficient compared to other cities and counties, including revisions to the code of conduct."

Dongducheon City Mayor O Se-chang said in his remarks, "We have made efforts to improve employee working conditions. As employee rights continue to expand, I hope civil servants will become exemplary public officials who serve the local community."

The Dongducheon City Hall public employees' workplace council was reorganized in June 2004 and consists of approximately 600 civil servants as members, including supporter members.
