Cybersecurity corporations Genians said on the 30th that it has been piloting a 4.5-day workweek since on the 1st of last month.
The pilot introduction of the 4.5-day workweek was pursued as part of participation in the “2026 Gyeonggi Province 4.5-day workweek pilot project,” promoted by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Job Foundation.
A company official said the decision to join the 4.5-day workweek pilot “started from a companywide consensus that, beyond simply shortening working hours or expanding benefits, we can produce higher performance within the same amount of time through AI-based task automation and process reorganization.”
The plan is to transfer repetitive and standardized tasks to an AI system to build a high-engagement, high-efficiency environment where employees can focus only on more creative and strategic core work.
Genians plans to use participation in this 4.5-day workweek pilot and the acceleration of its AI transition as a springboard to further strengthen its hiring brand, secure top talent in next-generation IT and security, and speed up new job creation.
Meanwhile, Genians was also selected for “2026 Korea Top Jobs Corporations,” organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL). “Korea Top Jobs Corporations” carefully selects private companies that lead the creation of quality jobs by achieving job creation outcomes and practicing work-life balance and improving work environments.
Genians earned high marks for continuous job expansion centered on young people and professionals, an excellent flexible work environment, and a variety of benefits that support employee growth. Genians has also pursued staggered working hours, remote work, and “Family Day,” which allows employees to leave at 12 p.m. on the third Friday of every month.
Chief Executive Officer Lee Dong-beom of Genians said, “Being chosen as a Korea Top Jobs Corporations company and pushing the 4.5-day workweek pilot were achievements made possible by combining companywide AI internalization, task process innovation, and a corporate culture that respects employees,” adding, “We will continue to build a high-efficiency workplace that captures both work and performance based on continuous AI technology innovation, and accelerate growth in the global security market together with excellent talent.”
