[아이뉴스24 윤지혜 기자] Kakao improves the controversial personnel evaluation system.
On the 2nd, from 10:30 am on the 2nd, Kakao held an open talk meeting on personnel evaluation for all employees of the headquarters for 2 hours. At the event, which was broadcast live on Kakao TV, joint representatives Yeo Min-soo and Jo Soo-yong, as well as personnel in charge of personnel organization participated in answering inquiries from employees.
An official at Kakao explained, “It was a place to hear free and honest opinions on various topics such as evaluation, compensation, organizational culture, and bullying in the workplace.” .
The controversy over the Kakao personnel evaluation arose on the 17th of last month when an article was posted on the worker community’blind’, suggesting an extreme choice due to bullying in the workplace.
In particular, criticism of the item’Would you like to work with this person?’ among the’multi-faceted evaluation’ systems evaluated by fellow employees was great. There were many criticisms that it was too much to disclose to individuals how much of a person who did not want to work with me was compared to the average of the entire company.
In response, Kakao Chairman Kim Beom-soo was concerned that it was “a warning light that we need to look back” at an in-house meeting held on the 25th of last month.
Kakao plans to improve the system in a way that gives positive recognition to employees while maintaining the strengths of peers and upward evaluation. A seat will be created to reflect the opinions of employees, and a separate survey will be conducted.
An official at Kakao said, “Through this meeting, we have expressed our will to improve the points that have negative opinions,” and said, “We will continue to communicate so that the opinions of employees with various opinions on evaluation and compensation can be reflected.”
