HLP is an evaluation system for managers, including executives, where departmental practitioners evaluate and diagnose leaders to strengthen proper leadership and team capabilities. The Elite Hanmi Award and the 10 virtues of Leadership are commitments of employees towards Hanmi Pharmaceutical's direction and goals, and they represent the core values of Hanmi Pharmaceutical's talent management.

We will attract global top talent and establish a culture where all employees grow together with a sense of ownership, thereby realizing sustainable corporate value.
