SK networks has established and continues to improve indicators of happiness gauged to build an organizational culture in which human rights of the members are respected and their growth and happiness promoted.
An employee happiness survey is conducted every month on The Happiness Day to identify the overall level of members’ happiness (human rights, safety, growth/Competence development, etc.) and the level of happiness strategy implementation (SV-BM, etc.). Members opinions are also asked to find out their thoughts about where the company is headed and how to create a better place to work.
The Happiness Survey is conducted eleven times a year in total. They are composed of three measurement-type and eight thinking-type surveys. Quarterly measurement-type survey questions makes it possible to regularly identify the status of the entire organization including efforts for member happiness and sustainable management, work satisfaction and the degree of engagement. Based on this, thinking-type survey questions are structured to listen to members’ opinions that will be used as a basis for creating solutions for system improvement.
Survey results are posted monthly on the in-house bulletin board to be shared with all the members. Major tasks generated from the survey are continuously discussed among related departments. Happiness Board activities will be used to improve the company system and environment.

SK networks has designated every 3rd Friday of the month as “Happiness Day” to encourage the employees to reflect on their happiness and surroundings. “Happiness Day” is a time for employees to plan and pursue various activities for their own happiness without any restriction on activity or space for 4 hours in the afternoon. Employees can share their feelings by writing about their joyful moments during this day on the ‘Happiness’ and ‘Hangstagram’ bulletin board.
Led by our CEO, the “Happiness Board” consists of 12 members who come together once a month to discuss solutions concerning employee pain points and to study and discuss happiness strategies as well as action plans to find a detailed resolution that will make “our” workplace happier.
