Korea South-East Power has won the 2026 UNLEASH Award at the UNLEASH World exhibition in Paris, France on October 22. The award, co-organized by the European Association for People Management and UNLEASH, recognizes companies that have made significant strides in human resources and talent development. The award was given to Korea South-East Power for its innovative approach to skills-based talent development in response to the energy transition era.
The company has developed a comprehensive skills-based talent development system that defines the required skills in critical areas such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), renewable energy, and carbon-free energy. This system is integrated into all aspects of personnel management, including education, career development, promotion, and placement.
To support the energy transition, Korea South-East Power assessed each employee’s skill level by combining competency diagnoses with supervisor evaluations. This data was then used to establish Individual Development Plans and job-specific career development pathways for each employee. Their learning system also supports the transformation towards AI across operations, with members participating in step-by-step AI learning programs and having their certification acquisitions reflected in personnel management.
The company was particularly praised for incorporating employee voices into training courses, expanding participation in training demand surveys, and introducing training programs based on on-site feedback. They also established an integrated learning platform that connects diagnosis, learning, and coaching in a single system.
Korea South-East Power's President, Lee Hyun-bin, stated that the award recognizes their members' capabilities at a global stage, as they strive for stable electricity supply, harmonious energy transition, and prosperity together. He added that the company aims to foster talent that links field experience with new technologies and lead an energy transition that the public can visibly experience.
