I’m praising my colleague

July 18, 2023 | How We Work, Team Wadiz

Wadiz Best Benefits

If you askWadiz, the answer you’ll almost always get is "my colleagues.". And this is despite the fact that we have solid benefits programs, such as Wadiz Funding Points, a book support program, and in-house clubs.

Wadizhas a set of working standards known as the "5 Principles." The third principle is "We meet each other’s needs,’ and this principle reveals what makes a good colleague at Wadiz.

The third of the five Wadiz principles

Wadiz, we have a culture that demonstrates just how much we care about our colleagues. It’s a Praise Relay. Every month at the Impact Forum, based on Wadiz and “Jinguk’s Way of Working,” we recognize a colleague who serves as a role model “Jin-goo of the Month”*—a colleague who serves as a role model—based on Wadiz’s Three Principles and “How Jin-gook Works.”
*Jinguk: Wadizideal employee, symbolizing exceptional talent with authenticity, and a character representing our colleagues

This month’s “Jinguk” is chosen by last month’s “Jinguk,” who also shares the specific reasons for the selection. During this process, we gather feedback from others to ensure that the person I’ve chosen truly deserves the recognition. That’s why there’s never any controversy over the selection—and there never has been!

The scene at the Impact Forum where they announce this month’s “Jin-gook” is just like a scene from a movie where someone is saying goodbye to a lover: “As for our Jin-gook…”

 

What if you were the star of the praise relay?

Since August 2017, approximately 59 people have been selected as "Jinguk of the Month" and received praise from their colleagues. When selected as the star of the Praise Relay, you receive a poster featuring your “Better Message”—a personal aspiration you set when you joined the company—along with a studio-quality profile photo, and 100,000 funding points. One of these posters is proudly displayed on the wall of the Culture Center* at the Pangyo office.
*Culture Center: A cultural space where Wadiz events and club activities take place. It houses the Wadiz in-house café.

Who is this month's honoree?

Which Jin-guk was selected as "Jin-guk of the Month" and received praise from his colleagues? 👀
Here’s a sneak peek at the interview with this month’s “Jinguk,” the recipient of the praise.

What is your "Better Message"?

My motto is “We make things #way better.” In my work, I always ask myself if I’m doing things the right way and if there’s a better approach. I believe those choices ultimately pave the way for a better future and deliver value to both makers and supporters.

How would you describe what I do in a single sentence? 

I see myself as someone who cultivates an environment where our employees can work more happily. To achieve this, I establish institutional frameworks for work, performance evaluations, and employee benefits, and I help create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere and culture through various events and activities. Ultimately, all of this contributes to creating an environment where our employees can do their best work. If I were to express a personal hope, I’d like our Jinguk employees to go beyond simply doing their jobs “well” and instead be able to work “happily.”
