The ideal talent

A country where people are a resource, SK raises them

SK seeks to foster talent in a country where talent is the number one resource.

The core of human resource management of SK is the belief that the success or failure of a company largely depends on how people’s capabilities are nurtured and put to use.
As such, SK has established the policies and systems of human resource management necessary to ensure that its organizational members can spontaneously and proactively bring out the best in themselves.

A forest that nurtures talent

Nurturing human resources is similar to planting and cultivating a tree. You take on a 50 year commitment when you plant a tree. With human resources, you need to plan for 100 years. When I decided to build 'a forest that breeds talent,' many objected to my idea, saying that the investment period was too long. But those who love their country, plant trees. While you take a stroll through the forest that breeds talent, remind yourself that people are at the root of a company.
