Woori Investment & Securities CEO and President Hwang Sung-ho believes that the management and the employees should share the same vision to march together toward one direction. That's why Hwang, who is known for spending much time to listen to employees whenever he has chances, emphasizes open management based on communication.
He believes that all decision making process should be transparent, and has been making efforts to set up open corporate culture built upon trust and respect to each other.
Hwang says that the most crucial part of securities business is human. That's what CEOs of most other securities companies would agree, but Hwang's perspective is slightly different. Hwang says he prefers companies that can nurture their employees into ace players rather than the ones that are already equipped with the star players.
"Dream" plays the crucial part here. He stresses that people won't sweat if they don't have dreams. The company should encourage employees to have dream, and the company should support and train them so that they can make the dream come true and become the best player.
Woori is thus known for various support programs that help employees become professionals. It is making efforts to improve remuneration and HR system.
Customer oriented mind, ethics, endless innovation, and global perspective are also required for Woori employees.
