Dongducheon City to Improve Unreasonable Work Regulations and Eliminate Malpractices

Dongducheon City (Mayor Oh Se-chang) announced that it will improve unreasonable work regulations and eliminate malpractices and improper practices to boost employee morale through communication and empathy within the organization and to create an honest and healthy organizational culture through fair task implementation.

The city's policy is to pursue gradual organizational change through continuous monitoring by collecting employee opinions on cases where inefficient work processes reduce work efficiency and hidden malpractices within the organization, designating them as tasks requiring improvement, conducting campaigns and employee training, and encouraging voluntary improvement efforts.

Dongducheon City will conduct a survey targeting all employees by August 4, with the work regulation improvement sector to be handled by the relevant departments, and malpractice cases to be designated as "Monthly Focus Elimination Practices" to be implemented starting in September. The city plans to inspect implementation status in December and formulate improvement measures for any areas lacking sufficient progress.

In addition, the city will operate the "Regulatory Reform and Practice Improvement Window" on a continuous basis as an open channel for discovering and spreading cases that affect organizational development and honest organizational culture through various employee opinions and initiatives to boost employee morale.

Mayor Oh Se-chang stated, "As times change within the civil service sector, identifying and improving the conflicts between old and new cultures and problems that everyone empathizes with but cannot solve on their own will create a vibrant and mature civil service society, which will be an opportunity to take one step further toward open administration for citizens."
