The plant's management team organized the event to recognize employees who have kept operations running amid a demanding production schedule and to break down departmental barriers, encouraging freer communication.
Chairman Nam Bong-gil gave an encouraging speech, and the company honored outstanding employees with awards. A raffle of small gifts drew enthusiastic participation from staff.
Employees relaxed in an informal setting, enjoying fried chicken and beer as they recharged.
One employee said, \"Even though we work in the same plant, it's hard to see colleagues from other departments. Events like this have brought us noticeably closer.\"
Korea Pharmbio had already been taking steps to close the distance with on-site staff — for example, Chairman Nam previously sent a coffee truck to the factory — and this latest event is notable because employees themselves initiated the gathering. The company said it will continue programs aimed at building a workplace culture where employees grow together.
