Polaris Shipping is drawing attention as it is taking the lead in spreading a culture of supporting work-family balance.

Polaris Shipping announced on the 8th that it is actively participating in the spread of a culture of work-family balance support by introducing a new childbirth incentive system to ease the burden of childbirth and childcare on executives and employees and create a stable work-life parallel environment.

Under the recently introduced childbirth incentive system, Polaris Shipping recently paid 9 million won to employees who gave birth to twins and 6 million won to executives and employees who gave birth to their second child. Polaris Shipping also provides a monthly childcare allowance of 200,000 won until the age of 6 (72 months) after childbirth.

With the implementation of Polaris Shipping's newly introduced childbirth incentive and childcare allowance system, a total of 24.4 million won will be provided, including 10 million won in childbirth incentives and 14.4 million won in childcare allowances (200,000 won per month × 72 months), for example, if you give birth to your third child.

"In addition to the childbirth incentive and childcare allowance system, we will establish a corporate culture where employees and their families can be happy together by establishing a vacation for spouse checkups and expanding the scope of flexible work for caregivers," a Polaris Shipping official said. We will continue to strengthen the maternity protection and work-family balance support system to create an environment where employees can work with confidence, he said.
