Genians Selected as "Korea Top Job-Creating Company"...Pilots 4.5-Day Workweek with AI Innovation

Cybersecurity company Genians has been selected as a "Korea Top Job-Creating Company" in recognition of its achievements in job creation, establishing a flexible work environment, and supporting the growth of its employees. Building on work innovation through AI and digital technology, the company is also participating in Gyeonggi Province's pilot 4.5-day workweek initiative, simultaneously promoting both improved working conditions and greater workplace efficiency.

Genians announced on the 30th that it has been named a "2026 Korea Top Job-Creating Company," an honor organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The Korea Top Job-Creating Company program recognizes companies that have made significant contributions to job creation, work-life balance, and improvement of working environments, thereby leading the way in creating quality jobs. Selected companies receive a range of administrative and financial benefits, such as preferential credit ratings, better loan interest rates, and issuance of expedited immigration cards.

Genians received high marks for continuously expanding hiring of young and skilled professionals while operating flexible work practices and a diverse range of employee support programs. In particular, the company has increased hiring at the junior level, selecting talent based on abilities rather than academic background or gender. It also actively supports the use of family-friendly programs, such as parental leave and maternity leave.

The company also operates its work models with flexibility. Genians has implemented flexible commuting hours and remote work policies, and on the third Friday of every month, it holds "Family Day," allowing employees to finish work at noon to encourage work-life balance.

Support for the development of employees' competencies continues as well. Genians offers training programs tailored to individual needs, financial support for obtaining certifications, and covers expenses related to utilizing AI services. Through the labor-management council, the company collects feedback directly from the field and incorporates it into actual welfare policies, promoting labor-management harmony and improved quality of life for employees.

Genians is committed not only to its recognition as a Top Job-Creating Company but also to accelerating work process innovation using AI. By participating in the "2026 Gyeonggi Province 4.5-day Workweek Pilot Project" led by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Job Foundation, the company has implemented the 4.5-day workweek on a trial basis starting this August.

The company is not simply approaching the new system as a means to reduce working hours or increase employee benefits. Instead, Genians is focusing on using AI to automate repetitive work and restructure traditional work processes, aiming to create a system where performance can be maintained or even enhanced despite shorter working hours.

The core of this approach is to transition repetitive and standardized tasks to AI systems so that employees can focus on creative and strategic responsibilities. The company believes that establishing a highly efficient work system, powered by technology, is essential to ensure that reduced working hours translate into growth and long-term sustainability.

With the 4.5-day workweek pilot and the company’s move toward AI transformation, Genians aims to strengthen its recruitment competitiveness. The company intends to reinforce its employer brand by improving the work environment and innovating work systems, thereby attracting outstanding next-generation IT and security talent and linking this to increased job creation.

Genians CEO Lee Dongbeom said, "Our selection as a Korea Top Job-Creating Company and participation in the 4.5-day workweek pilot project were made possible by the combination of company-wide AI integration, work process innovation, and a culture of respect for employees. Going forward, we will continue to build a highly efficient workplace that achieves both strong performance and work-life satisfaction through ongoing innovation in AI technology, and we will accelerate our growth in the global security market together with top-tier talent."

Genians plans to combine AI-based business automation and flexible work policies to improve employees’ working conditions while boosting workplace productivity, making this the foundation for securing top talent and continuous job growth.
