Hana Financial Group Employees Use Sign Language to Connect at Deaf Sports Day

Dozens of employees from Hana Financial Group dedicated their time to support the 38th Seoul Association of the Deaf Sports Day, held at Noryangjin Football Field. The volunteers, numbering around 30, actively participated in event operations, demonstrating a commitment to fostering an inclusive environment.

Utilizing sign language skills acquired through the company's educational programs, the employees engaged with deaf participants, sharing smiles and creating a meaningful experience. One volunteer shared, "Although my skills are somewhat lacking, it was a meaningful time where I could communicate with the hearing impaired and share laughter and joy using the sign language I learned through the 'Employee Sign Language Education.'"

Hana Financial Group has been consistently promoting an inclusive culture since 2023, offering regular sign language courses twice a year. To date, over 300 employees have completed the 7th training session, which began in May. Beyond classroom learning, the company actively links these skills with volunteer activities for the hearing impaired.

The group's commitment extends to various support initiatives for individuals with disabilities, including facility renovations, providing learning aids for children and adolescents, and supporting employment opportunities for those with developmental and hearing impairments. A representative from the ESG Planning Team expressed hope that these diverse volunteer activities will spread a culture of inclusion throughout society, pledging to expand employee participation in such programs to deliver messages of hope.
