Human Resources System
KOSCO operates a value- and performance-oriented human resources system that prioritizes competence and achievement over seniority and provides fair evaluation and reasonable compensation.
1. Promotion System
Employees with proven competence, performance, and job capabilities may be selected for accelerated promotion regardless of their length of service or seniority.
Promotion decisions are based on a comprehensive assessment of performance, expertise, contribution to the organization, and future potential, thereby putting a genuine merit- and performance-based personnel policy into practice.
2. Compensation and Rewards
To attract and retain outstanding talent and encourage continuous achievement, KOSCO operates a differentiated compensation system based on each employee’s role, capabilities, performance, responsibilities, and contribution.
Rather than relying on automatic salary increases based solely on length of service, we continue to improve our compensation system so that individual competence, achievements, responsibilities, and contributions are fairly recognized.
We also operate a performance reward system that evaluates and rewards contributions whenever meaningful project or individual achievements are made, rather than applying a uniform annual incentive based only on overall business results.
This approach encourages creativity and a sense of accomplishment while creating a virtuous cycle in which part of the value generated by the company is shared with employees, allowing both the company and its people to grow together.
3. Abolition of the Mandatory Retirement Age
KOSCO has abolished the mandatory retirement age so that employees can continue to apply their accumulated experience and expertise.
Employees with the required competence and commitment may continue working and contributing to the company’s growth regardless of age.
We seek to create a virtuous cycle in which employees and the company grow together over the long term and the resulting value is shared with the wider community.
