Several major banks are underlining solidarity among employees by honoring high achievers, offering special lectures for rookies and leadership training sessions for newly-promoted team leaders.
Shinhan Bank said it wants to encourage those who were distinguished on the sales frontline in 2022, during a company-wide event at Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul last week.
Led by Shinhan Bank CEO Han Yong-gu, the event invited 9,000 employees and also their family members.
Chairman and CEO Cho Yong-byoung of Shinhan Financial Group, the bank's parent company, was also present.
"Co-prosperity is at the center of our group's corporate culture and our salespeople have indeed displayed such values in their respective workplaces at a time when the country's economy is undergoing difficulty," Cho said.
Han thanked the distinguished sales people "for being courteous to every customer and especially spreading warmness across groups of socially-vulnerable people who need financial support."
