Gov. Nam: "Will pursue province administration based on data and citizen needs"

Governor Nam Kyung-pil of Gyeonggi Province stated his intention to lead provincial administration under two principles: 'data-driven' and 'citizen-centric' approach.

Governor Nam, attending an employee workshop at the Gyeonggi Northern Regional Office held at Song-am Space Center in Jangheung-myeon, Yangju City on the 15th, said, "Through recent discussions with department heads and staff members on major projects in Gyeonggi Province, I gained two insights." He added, "Going forward, before making any decision, we will ask whether we have conducted data analysis and whether it reflects what residents want, and then make a decision."

Governor Nam further stated, "The provincial administration going forward will be a process of scientifically analyzing and implementing what residents want."

Governor Nam also requested at a forum on the Ttabok dormitory held on the 14th that a demand survey be conducted first, citing insufficient data, before resuming discussions.

Additionally, Governor Nam mentioned four recently announced personnel principles and promised employees that he will strictly adhere to them during his tenure.

Governor Nam detailed the four personnel principles and explained in detail how each would be applied.

Governor Nam said, "While no personnel decision can be completely free of complaints, through fair and transparent personnel management, we will minimize discontent," and added, "We will prioritize personnel management that favors diligent workers, those who produce results, and those who work hard behind the scenes, regardless of their background or job category."

Based on recent personnel forums between Governor Nam Kyung-pil and employees, Gyeonggi Province has established four personnel principles: ▲providing equal opportunities for administrative and technical staff assignments, ▲strengthening incentives for expertise enhancement, ▲implementing promotions considering fairness between departments and agencies, and ▲showing consideration for long-term employees in difficult or unpopular departments.
