The resignation rate is 5% for Korea-based employees and 15.6% for 
overseas employees. Samsung Electronics 
actively analyzes the factors behind employee turnover and reflects these 
findings in its HR management 
policies. We also operate a career development center to help retiring 
employees find new jobs or start new Business .

Reasons Given for Resignations:
Labor and Human Rights 
Samsung Electronics abides by all labor and human rights laws in each 
region it operates and strictly enforces 
a ban on child labor, forced labor and workplace discrimination, in 
accordance with articles 4, 6 and 
16 of the company’s rules of employment. In addition, we strictly abide by 
the 24 ILO conventions ratified by 
the South Korean government. Samsung Electronics believes that mutually 
beneficial development through 
collaboration should be the basis of its labor relations management. The 
company operates a Management- 
Labor Council that inspects overseas operation sites and utilizes other 
communication channels to monitor

Wage by Region 
Samsung Electronics is complying with minimum wage laws in all 
countries. It pays up to three-times the 
minimum salary in regions in order to help improve the welfare and 
quality of life of its employees.
Employee Injury Management 
Although the rate of employee injuries increased in 2011 compared to 2010, 68% of 
injuries occurred during sports activities conducted at company social events. 
Samsung Electronics has since published a safety guideline and implemented a 
program to raise awareness of the importance of stretching and other exercises 
to prevent injuries in non-industrial activities. 
We are also conducting regularly scheduled health and safety trainings on a wide 
range of issues, including industrial safety and employee health management.
