Gyeonggi Province Hosts Seminars for Foreign-Invested Enterprises to Cope with Phased Return to Normal Life

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Center for Foreign Investment Enterprises will hold two seminars on the 10th and 17th, selecting key issues in the human resources and labor management sectors and the accounting and finance sectors to strengthen the capacity of foreign-invested enterprises in the era of phased return to normal life.

At the 'HR (Human Resources) Seminar' to be held on the 10th at Gravity Hotel in Pangyo, Seongnam City, in response to the phased return to normal life (with corona) era, various issues related to multiple work arrangements such as remote work will be reviewed once again, and diverse cases will be shared so that foreign-invested enterprises can select and operate the most ideal and rational work arrangements.

In particular, this seminar will invite labor consultants specializing in foreign companies to present actual cases gained through trial and error by many enterprises and to develop preventive measures against legal issues between companies and workers, thereby helping achieve sustainable business management between workers and companies.

Additionally, corporate officials including human resources and labor management field practitioners are expected to attend and participate in a free discussion session where they share their implementation cases of work arrangements and how they resolved and stabilized problems that arose in the process of operating remote work and flexible working arrangements.

The 'Financial Seminar' to be held on the 17th at Ramada Plaza Hotel in Suwon is designed for chief financial officers (CFOs) of foreign-invested enterprises and finance-related executives to share opinions on financial risk management strategies for foreign-invested enterprises in the COVID-19 era.

As this is a time when active efforts are required for financial risk management tailored to each company's situation, lectures by accounting professionals specializing in foreign companies will cover ▲domestic and international economic outlook and financial market prospects ▲matters to be considered in mergers and divisions of companies ▲Korea's accounting transparency and audit procedures.

The seminar will be made available on the YouTube channel for companies unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts. Videos can be viewed by anyone by searching for 'Gyeonggi Center for Foreign Investment Enterprises.'

The Gyeonggi Center for Foreign Investment Enterprises operates a sustainable foreign investment environment by supporting foreign-invested enterprises not only with grievance handling and recruitment services after they invest in Gyeonggi Province, but also with customized educational support and professional information-sharing networks in specialized fields such as legal amendments.
