Krafton announced on September 11 that it was selected as one of '2026 Korea's Top Job Creation Companies' organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. This marks its fifth selection overall since being named for the first time in 2019.
'Korea's Top Job Creation Companies' is an initiative that selects and encourages companies that have expanded job creation and improved workplace quality. Selected companies receive a certification plaque in the name of the President.
Krafton expanded its family-friendly policies supporting childbirth and childcare starting in 2025. Employees who give birth to a child after January 1, 2025, receive up to 100 million won per child over their lifetime, and the parental leave period has been extended to up to two years.
Along with this, non-monetary support was also strengthened, including work-from-home options for childcare, prenatal exam leave during a spouse's pregnancy, automated hiring procedures for temporary replacements during parental leave, and psychological counseling for returning employees.
After declaring its transition to an 'AI First' company in the second half of 2025, Krafton has allocated an annual budget of approximately 30 billion won starting in 2026 to support employees' utilization of AI tools. According to the company, this is more than 10 times the scale of its previous AI service support. It also operates programs such as internal hackathons for employees to build AI-related experience and capabilities.
Han So-young, Head of HR at Krafton, said, "This recognition is the result of our efforts to improve both the quantity and quality of jobs," adding, "We will continue to build an environment where employees can take on bold challenges without giving up either work or life."
Krafton has been named one of 'Korea's Top Job Creation Companies' five times in total, following selections in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2026.
