Korea Expressway Corporation and one of its subsidiaries spent about 3.8 billion won to provide tablet PCs to all employees, but it turned out that there were problems with poor management, such as retirees leaving the company with them.
According to data submitted by Rep. Kang Dae-sik of the National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, Korea Expressway Corporation and its subsidiary Korea Expressway Corporation Service spent a total budget of 3.8 billion, giving all 15,000 employees a tablet PC for education in 2021. paid
Samsung Electronics was selected as the supplier after two rounds of unsuccessful bids, Korea Expressway Corporation purchased 8805 Galaxy Tab A7 models, and Expressway Corporation Service purchased 6317 Galaxy Tab A8 units.
Korea Expressway Corporation announced that it had temporarily introduced tablet PCs according to labor-management negotiations to activate online education and support telecommuting in response to COVID-19. Korea Expressway Corporation Service also explained that it made this decision by reflecting the special characteristics of on-site shift workers who are difficult to receive training in the office.
However, tablet PCs were also provided to presidents and executives who could be trained with office PCs, and in the case of road construction services, it was revealed that about 2,000 of the paid personnel were not shift workers.
Since the tablet PC is a computer consumable for education, it was managed as an off-balance sheet asset of the corporation according to the standard management of goods, but about 1,400 employees who left the company left the company with the tablet PC as it was.
The number of tablets returned by former employees was 31, and the recovery rate was only 2%.
At a time when Korea Expressway Corporation’s debt exceeded 35 trillion won last year, it was pointed out that it was negligent management.
