View : 2554 Date : 2018-01-10 Writer : ed_camnews

KAIST has been acknowledged as a family-friendly organization by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. KAIST received the certification in recognition of having exemplary working systems for its employees, including flexible work hours, support for childcare and their education, and benefits for dependents. The certification will be valid from December 27, 2017 until November 30, 2020.

KAIST is putting every effort into creating a working environment that prioritizes work-life balance and provides various welfare benefits to all its employees. For instance, KAIST gives a maximum of three years of parental leave and shortens workhours for employees during their pregnancy. Operating multiple daycare centers also eases the burden of parents with infants and toddlers. 


Moreover, KAIST has extended benefits such as providing times for families, prenatal diagnoses, and reducing working hours for employees who need to care for their infants. Furthermore, KAIST offers diverse classes on life-cycles and provides clinic services to all its members.


KAIST cooperates with the local community to operate a science camp for children of those serving in the military, in addition to children of faculty and staff members. It also offers cultural events during the semester, which are open to the public.



KAIST is managing a Customer Satisfaction Center, Center for Ethics and Human Rights, and an Ombudsperson’s office in an effort to address any issues raised by members of the KAIST community and an Innovation Day system was established in order to improve communication with them.
