Yeoju City Holds Integrity Communication and Empathy TALK with Senior Civil Servants

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] On the 17th, Yeoju City held an 'Integrity Communication and Empathy TALK with Senior Civil Servants' at the Korea Colmar Training Center, presided over by Mayor Lee Chung-woo, with attendance from senior civil servants of grade 5 and above, the president of Yeoju Urban Development Corporation, and the chairman of the Yeoju Sejong Culture Foundation.

The event proceeded in the order of the mayor's integrity talk, integrity practice pledges, and integrity education. Participants engaged in free question-and-answer sessions and suggestions on topics including ▲organizational culture improvement ▲shared awareness of corruption-vulnerable areas ▲practical integrity measures, discussing substantive improvement plans.

In particular, attending civil servants addressed last year's corruption-vulnerable area diagnostics and improvement measures as key agenda items. To strengthen more trustworthy administration, they intensively diagnosed representative vulnerable factors such as 'improper directives,' 'workplace bullying and budget misexecution,' and agreed to improve these by enhancing communication with members and strengthening transparent and accountable administration.

In a special lecture by integrity expert instructor Bae Jung-ae, she presented issues regarding workplace bullying, leadership for superiors in establishing sound organizational culture, practical communication methods and cases for 'zero workplace bullying,' which garnered great resonance from participants.

Mayor Lee Chung-woo stated, "Integrity is the foundation of citizens' trust and the core value of Yeoju City administration," and added, "The city will continue to promote transparent and trusted city administration through expanding integrity leadership education and spreading outstanding integrity practices."
