Samsung Electronics has begun accepting applications for re-employment after retirement age for multi-child employees. Recently, Samsung has also begun to operate the system in earnest, amid an increasing number of re-employment cases in large companies that bring highly experienced talent back into the organization.

In particular, this is the first time among the top 10 groups in Korea to set separate reemployment standards for multi-child employees and receive formal applications. It is evaluated as an attempt to simultaneously target both social responsibility and securing skilled manpower to resolve the low birth rate.

According to the industry on the 25th, Samsung Electronics recently started accepting applications for re-employment for employees with multiple children (more than three children) who are about to retire. It is part of the “re-employment system after retirement for employees with three or more children” prepared this year after labor-management consultations in February this year.

This year’s first selection process began. It is known that the rehiring targets are not employees who have already retired, but those who are currently working at an imminent retirement age. Applicants are expected to focus on practical fields such as quality management, technical advice, and education as contract workers depending on whether they wish to do so.

The system was designed to reduce intergenerational technology disconnection, transmit the experience of skilled personnel to the organization, and support life-career design for multi-child employees.

This system is noteworthy in that it is not a one-time operation, but is regularized every year.

Once operating standards, including multi-child standards, work suitability, and evaluation systems, are established, there is a possibility that they will be expanded to other affiliates and private large companies depending on whether labor and management agree. From the standpoint of companies, it is an opportunity to have an “internal mentor system” that can systematically transmit skills, while creating a structure in which experienced personnel can play a complex role of social contribution and child support.

Samsung Electronics expects the system to be a practical countermeasure to the problem of manpower gaps occurring at sites where generational change is rapidly under way. In particular, since the know-how of skilled craftsmen in high-tech-based business units such as semiconductors, mobile, and home appliances is irreplaceable for a certain period of time, it is analyzed that manpower recycling after retirement can be an efficient alternative in terms of productivity and technology continuity.

Positive reactions continue inside the company. Some employees reportedly continue to inquire about the application, saying, “I feel the consideration for multi-child employees.” As it is the first attempt, there are many questions about the way the system is operated and working conditions, and interest among executives and employees is increasing.
