April 16, 2015 - Chang Rok Woo, chairman of Yulchon was today awarded the 2015 President’s Award for spearheading an initiative that provides employment opportunities for the disabled. This honor was presented at an event organized by the Korea Employment Agency.
Yulchon currently employs eight people with physical and mental disabilities who are each given the right amount of work within areas that best fit their capabilities. The firm continues to provide proactive support to foster their development as valued employees. A range of positions are being planned to offer even more opportunities in the future. This initiative will look to expand the scope of work beyond maintenance and custodial duties and into administrative areas.
“Providing employment opportunities to the disabled does more than simply give them a chance to make a living, it also lets them stand tall as proud, contributing members of the community,” said Chang Rok Woo, chairman of Yulchon. “We are obligated, not only as a law firm but as people, to provide them with good welfare and the safety net of employment and we intend to continue improving this area as we believe this is our social responsibility.”
