The government has accelerated labor reform discussions, including the introduction of a 4.5-day workweek and the abolition of the comprehensive wage system, as part of its agenda to create “workplaces where work, family, and life coexist.” The government plans to begin with pilot programs in central and local government offices, then expand gradually with industry-specific models and institutional support.

As the debate over the 4.5-day workweek gains momentum, companies are working to prepare their HR systems and workforce strategies. A central challenge is managing diverse work arrangements, workforce adjustments, and performance frameworks under shorter working hours.

Shiftee, an integrated workforce management solution, enables companies to adopt the 4.5-day workweek with ease. With Shiftee, businesses can tailor HR operations to their industry, size, and work arrangements, while accurately managing working hours. The solution automatically updates to reflect changes in labor law, helping companies minimize compliance risks.

Shiftee provides a full suite of workforce management features—including scheduling, time and attendance, leave management, payroll, and report—alongside e-approvals, e-contracts, message, and PC-OFF. It also integrates seamlessly with access control systems (SECOM, ADT CAPS, KT Telecop), HR and ERP systems (Workday, SAP), and productivity tools (Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, Slack). This allows companies to keep their existing systems while unifying workforce management with Shiftee.

Shiftee CEO Shin Seung-won said, “To successfully implement the 4.5-day workweek, companies need a workforce management system that can effectively run various flexible arrangements such as flexible hours and staggered shifts. More than 300,000 companies already use Shiftee, which reflects the strength of our workforce management capabilities.”

Major Shiftee clients include SK, GC Biopharma, Hyundai, Lotte, Hanwha, Shinhan, K Bank, Kakao, Toss, Coupang, the National Assembly Secretariat, the Seoul Metropolitan City, the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, and the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities. Since entering the Taiwanese market in 2023, Shiftee is well-suited for global business environments, supporting overseas subsidiaries of companies such as Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai Mobis, Lotte Chilsung, Blizzard, and AliExpress.
