By Korea HeraldPublished : April 1, 2013 - 19:32
Kumho Asiana Group chairman Park Sam-koo delivered cash support last weekend to 12 employees diagnosed with cancer, group officials said Monday.
The decision came after a Kumho Tire employee was recently confirmed to have contracted tracheal cancer.
After receiving the latest news, the chairman gave the order to find if there were other cancer patients or those with severe diseases at any of the group’s affiliates.

After receiving the latest news, the chairman gave the order to find if there were other cancer patients or those with severe diseases at any of the group’s affiliates.
The group found a total of 12 employees had been on sick leave. Park then delivered the money through executive officials last weekend.
In June, the chairman had also offered special bonuses worth 700 million won ($627,521) to employees of Kumho Industrial that were suffering because of the slowdown in the construction market.
Last year, he also supported an injured worker at Kumho Tire’s Vietnamese factory to receive treatment in Korea.
“Such activities reflect his entrepreneurial philosophy that prioritizes human management,” said a Kumho official.
