Gyeonggi Province Confirms Promotion of 73 Grade 5 Team Leaders...Largest-Scale Personnel Reshuffle on Record

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gapdong] Gyeonggi Province held a personnel committee meeting on the 29th and finalized 73 Grade 5 team leader civil servants as promotion candidates.

The 73 Grade 5 promotions mark the largest-scale promotion in approximately 20 years, matching the 73 promoted in January 2019. This is 27 positions (59%) more than the average of 46 personnel selected during the eighth civilian-elected administration.

The province explained that this promotion was conducted with department head evaluations as the baseline, and gave particular emphasis to evaluating whether candidates possessed the capacity to successfully implement key provincial policy initiatives in team leader positions.

Female consideration and regional balance, which became basic principles for promotions during the eighth civilian-elected administration, were also applied in this personnel decision.

Among the 73 total promotees, 22 are women, accounting for 30%, while 18 promotees from Gyeonggi North region account for 25%.

An official from Gyeonggi Province stated, "Promotion of over 70 administrative officers is a significant-scale personnel reshuffle, with only three occurrences in the past 20 years," adding, "As this is an important position responsible for leading provincial administration operations, we expect it will play a significant role in fostering more robust and innovative development of provincial governance going forward."

Meanwhile, civil servants selected as promotion candidates are scheduled to complete the Promotion Leader training course at the Local Government Talent Development Institute during the second half of this year, and will receive promotion appointments in the latter half of this year or early next year.
