Employee Training

When engaging new employees in orientation training, we not only assign them externally to receive training on new technologies and the latest laws and regulations but also provide them with internal training. This not only allows our employees to have access to new information but also helps our seed talents develop inductive integration and presentation skills. To bring our employees' talent into full play and develop talents of high quality, we provide occupational training for individuals and relevant training programs required by laws and regulations.
Having received the "Work-Life Balance" subsidy from the Ministry of Labor, we organized an employee assistance program and invited the founder and CEO of the "Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society" to provide a stress reduction program that lasted for 4 weeks. Targeting cadres and mid-level executives of the company, the training this time is aimed at assisting the trainees to reduce stress and solve problems under multiple pressures such as organizational requirements, project completion, team expectations, family pressure, and physical stress. Many trainees changed significantly after the training and applied it to their families and work. Even the family members of the trainees felt the power of "mindfulness".

Pension Plan

According to the provisions of the Labor Standards Act, we have established a pension plan and engaged all our employees in it. Under the supervision of the supervisory committee of the workers' retirement reserve fund, a joint organization of workers and employers, the labor retirement reserve fund is allocated according to the prescribed ratio and is saved in a special account at the Bank of Taiwan (formerly Central Trust of China). Since July 1, 2005, we have established a pension plan with a defined contribution of 6% each month based on the provisions of the Labor Pension Act, which applies to employees of Taiwanese nationality.

Introduction of Professional Medical Management Consultants

To promote risk management in healthcare, create a healthy workplace, and raise our employees' awareness of healthcare, we collaborate with professional medical management consultants and recruited licensed physicians and registered nurses to take care of our employees' physical health. We also worked with professional psychologists to take care of our employees' mental health. Furthermore, we also provide health education, food & nutrition workshop, mental health seminar, and physical fitness program to help our employees improve cardiopulmonary function, increase muscle endurance, and prevent injuries and diseases related to long-term sitting positions in the office. We not only meet statutory and regulatory requirements but also protect our employees so that they can bring their vitality and creativity into full play.

Labor-management agreement on the protection of employee rights and interests

In addition to buying labor insurance and national health insurance for all our employees as required by law, we also allocate labor retirement reserves and pay labor pensions every month in preparation of labor retirement according to Labor Standards Act along with other working conditions. To promote labor-management cooperation and create a win-win situation for labor and management, we select representatives of both labor and management and hold regular labor-management meetings every quarter. Should there be major issues that emerge out of expectation, we would also hold special meetings to jointly discuss labor-management issues.
