Interview about job

  • Please introduce briefly about HR job.

    The customers of the HR team are members of HL Holdings. We are responsible for HRM, HRD, and OD so that our members can challenge and realize their dreams. In the HRM area, we plan and operate HR planning, recruitment, job duties, evaluation, and compensation. HRD fosters professional and leadership talents develop careers and creates a learning culture. OD is responsible for spreading values/philosophy and creating a good working culture. It is important to analyze various internal and external data to derive meaningful information, and based on this, not only achieve the mid/long-term vision of the organization, but also the will to constantly “improve” so that each of our members can create a growing experience. The HR task is a job that thinks about management and executes them so that the company and its members can all move forward to a better future.

  • What is daily routine?

    HR members must handle regular/irregular tasks on a variety of topics within a one-year cycle. So, multitasking and time management skills are very important. In order not to miss tasks and schedules, we record and share tasks to be performed on a daily basis through a cloud-type collaboration tool. Also, in order not to loosen the schedule that needs to be executed from a mid/long-term perspective, we keep recording goals and progress and share ideas with our team members. In particular, these days, remote work is expanding, and ideas are shared and supplemented through video and audio conferencing at home. In addition, I set my own focus time during working hours. During that time, I handle tasks that require concentration (data analysis, report writing, etc.). And, I use my commute time to keep an eye on recent HR-related issues and trends and try to apply them to my current tasks.

  • When have you been most proud of your work?

    I joined HL Holdings as an experienced employee. Before joining the company, I worked on various HR projects at an HR consulting firm. Among them, the most rewarding project was the establishment of a mid-to-long-term R&D vision and a project to derive an organizational structure for the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy. Since the core of the mid-to-long-term vision of R&D lies in future technology, we collect data (year of announcement, technology topic, budget, organization name, etc.) of all research projects published in the National Science and Technology Knowledge Information Service (NTIS), which is similar to the BCG matrix. This allowed us to predict and suggested future technologies. This methodology was effective and it was a new approach that the researchers had never considered from a technical point of view, and was able to actively use it to set a vision/strategic direction. Among the projects at HL Holdings, the most rewarding project was to analyze the team’s psychological safety in order to diagnose the level of cultural readiness for our organization’s creative/innovative actions and to operate a change management workshop based on the results. We established the hypothesis that ‘psychological safety will have a positive relationship with team innovation behavior,’ and developed and implemented a diagnostic tool to measure this. In this process, fun activities were added for soft communication with the employees, and a team-customized change management workshop was conducted with the contents of each team's strengths/weaknesses. It was rewarding to see how the atmosphere of the team members changed after the workshop, going through all the processes such as recognizing the problems of corporate culture, measuring, analyzing, and managing change.

Interview about Competency

  • What do you think are the most necessary competencies for HR managers?

    Among the competencies required of an HR member, planning is the most important. A lot of detailed competencies are required for good planning. For organizational and individual growth, the ability to independently perform various processes such as problem awareness, problem definition, data analysis, current status identification, improvement, and planning/operation is required. In this process, communication skills to cooperate with the relevant departments are also important to create the best results. In addition, for smooth communication within the organization, not only expertise in the task but also a sufficient understanding of our organization's business and environment is required. Therefore, the attitude to continuously learn and understand is also important as well.

  • Please give the advice for the applicant.

    The steps toward a new place are accompanied by anticipation, excitement, and worry. I also joined HL Holdings as an experienced employee, so I think I can understand the feelings of the applicants a little. Throw away your worries at HL Holdings. HL Holdings has “the best colleagues to respect” in each field. I am sure that If you experience a flexible corporate culture that can only be experienced at HL Holdings, you will know how valuable this choice is now.
