Smart Working
As part of its initiative to establish kt as a great workplace, kt played a pioneering role in the Korean market by adopting the Smart Working system, a system that allows the employees the flexibility to choose their physical workplace. By adopting this innovative way of doing business, the company aims to help its female employees who struggle to maintain a balance between their childcare and work responsibilities. Working moms who apply for Smart Working are given the flexibility of working from their homes. Male employees can also sign up for Smart Working, and work at the KT office nearest to their home. As a means of further promoting this initiative, in September 2010 kt opened the Smart Working Center in its Bundang office, equipping the space with high definition video conference facilities and personal work spaces. As of 2011, there are a total of nine Smart Working Centers being operated. kt plans to increase this number to 35 by the year 2013.
