Please introduce briefly about HR job.
The customers of the HR team are members of HL Holdings. We are responsible for HRM, HRD, and OD so that our members can challenge and realize their dreams. In the HRM area, we plan and operate HR planning, recruitment, job duties, evaluation, and compensation. HRD fosters professional and leadership talents develop careers and creates a learning culture. OD is responsible for spreading values/philosophy and creating a good working culture. It is important to analyze various internal and external data to derive meaningful information, and based on this, not only achieve the mid/long-term vision of the organization, but also the will to constantly “improve” so that each of our members can create a growing experience. The HR task is a job that thinks about management and executes them so that the company and its members can all move forward to a better future.

What is daily routine?
HR members must handle regular/irregular tasks on a variety of topics within a one-year cycle. So, multitasking and time management skills are very important. In order not to miss tasks and schedules, we record and share tasks to be performed on a daily basis through a cloud-type collaboration tool. Also, in order not to loosen the schedule that needs to be executed from a mid/long-term perspective, we keep recording goals and progress and share ideas with our team members. In particular, these days, remote work is expanding, and ideas are shared and supplemented through video and audio conferencing at home. In addition, I set my own focus time during working hours. During that time, I handle tasks that require concentration (data analysis, report writing, etc.). And, I use my commute time to keep an eye on recent HR-related issues and trends and try to apply them to my current tasks.

When have you been most proud of your work?
I joined HL Holdings as an experienced employee. Before joining the company, I worked on various HR projects at an HR consulting firm. Among them, the most rewarding project was the establishment of a mid-to-long-term R&D vision and a project to derive an organizational structure for the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy. Since the core of the mid-to-long-term vision of R&D lies in future technology, we collect data (year of announcement, technology topic, budget, organization name, etc.) of all research projects published in the National Science and Technology Knowledge Information Service (NTIS), which is similar to the BCG matrix. This allowed us to predict and suggested future technologies. This methodology was effective and it was a new approach that the researchers had never considered from a technical point of view, and was able to actively use it to set a vision/strategic direction.
Among the projects at HL Holdings, the most rewarding project was to analyze the team’s psychological safety in order to diagnose the level of cultural readiness for our organization’s creative/innovative actions and to operate a change management workshop based on the results. We established the hypothesis that ‘psychological safety will have a positive relationship with team innovation behavior,’ and developed and implemented a diagnostic tool to measure this. In this process, fun activities were added for soft communication with the employees, and a team-customized change management workshop was conducted with the contents of each team's strengths/weaknesses. It was rewarding to see how the atmosphere of the team members changed after the workshop, going through all the processes such as recognizing the problems of corporate culture, measuring, analyzing, and managing change.
