NEOWIZ Wins Grand Prize at 3rd Disability Employment Consulting Outcome Sharing

NEOWIZ announced on November 12 that it received the Minister of Employment and Labor Award, the grand prize at the 3rd Disability Employment Consulting Outcome Sharing Conference, in recognition of fulfilling 100% of its mandatory disability employment quota through direct headquarters hiring.

Hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and organized by the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the conference took place on November 11 at the Peace & Park Convention in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. According to NEOWIZ, the evaluation recognized its efforts to connect disability employment with employee welfare and working environment improvements while establishing a foundation for sustained, stable employment.

NEOWIZ directly hired 100% of its legally mandated disability employment quota in April 2025. Considering the characteristics of the gaming industry, where repetitive tasks are relatively rare, the company identified roles for disabled employees within internal service areas. These include car washing services (Car Care), health keeping, English and Chinese language classes, and IT support.

Employment support was centered around Able Hands, an internal dedicated organization. By assigning dedicated management personnel, NEOWIZ connected recruitment with education and training, job placement, and follow-up care, supporting both jobs for disabled workers and improvements to the overall employee work environment.

A NEOWIZ representative said, “This award is meaningful as it recognizes our efforts to identify roles where disabled employees can demonstrate their capabilities and create an environment where we can work together.” They added, “We will continue to expand disability employment opportunities and foster an environment where all members can work together stably.”

NEOWIZ received an A rating in the Social (S) category and an overall B+ rating in the 2026 domestic corporate ESG evaluation by the Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability (KCGS). In July, the company published its first sustainability report since its founding. Its ESG management focuses on enhancing user communication and satisfaction, human resource management, information protection and data security, and creating eco-friendly workplaces.
