Hwaseong City Subsidiary Organizations Show Results from 'Slimming Down' Initiative

Hwaseong City's 'subsidiary organization management modernization plan' is showing tangible results just six months after its launch.

According to the city on the 30th, it determined that subsidiary organizations under its jurisdiction, including the volunteer center and welfare foundation, were operating inefficiently relative to their scale. The city announced that it has been pursuing structural reorganization aimed at streamlining these organizations and improving efficiency.

To this end, the city established and has been operating a Task Force team for subsidiary public enterprise management modernization since August 30 of last year.

Through its structural reorganization work, the Task Force completed the substantive redeployment of personnel from subsidiary organizations—excluding essential staff at organizations such as the Sports Council—on the 4th of this month.

The Facilities Management Corporation, which took over operations from the city at the end of last year, replaced necessary personnel at the Green Environment Center's resident convenience facilities, the National Sports Center, and the Dongtan Complex Culture Center with city personnel.

Rather than hiring new staff, the city redeployed restructured personnel from subsidiary organizations to the corporation, effectively achieving budget savings of 500 million won.

Officials from the city and Facilities Management Corporation stated, "With the redeployment of personnel resulting from the subsidiary organization restructuring on the 4th to the Facilities Management Corporation, the management modernization plan has essentially entered its final stage."

Meanwhile, the Facilities Management Corporation plans to conduct public recruitment for only legally required essential personnel for the public sports facility set to open in mid-May.
