Suwon City Implements 'Anti-Corruption and Integrity Enhancement Training'

Suwon City held '2012 Anti-Corruption and Integrity Enhancement Training' on the 21st at the main auditorium of City Hall, targeting employees of the city government and its affiliated agencies.

The training was conducted in two sessions in the morning and afternoon under the theme of 'Integrity and Public Service Ethics,' with approximately 1,000 civil servants in attendance. Lee Byeong-woo, head of the Integrity Countermeasures Division at the Gyeonggi Province Audit Office, was invited as the lecturer.

Lee Byeong-woo explained various methods for civil servants to practice integrity and avoid involvement in corruption while carrying out their duties, including topics such as 'whom integrity serves for,' 'how to create ethical organizations and individuals,' and 'standards for civil servant disciplinary measures,' using concrete examples.

A city official stated, "This training will provide an opportunity for civil servants to reflect once again on the Civil Service Code of Conduct, which presents desirable value standards and conduct standards that should be observed in the performance of duties, and to internalize these principles."

Through recent organizational restructuring, the city has newly established the Integrity Innovation Team, a dedicated unit for enhancing integrity, and is implementing various policies including reward systems for reporting irregularities to prevent corruption and integrity violations, as well as satisfaction surveys targeting visiting citizens.
