Employee Welfare Measures

In addition to adhering to the requirements of the Labor Standards Act and other pertinent regulations, we prioritize the well-being of our employees by offering a comprehensive range of benefits and support services including external education and training subsidies, internal training courses or materials, annual employee health checks, group insurance, and optional insurance for dependents.

In accordance with the law, we allocate employee welfare funds and establishes a Welfare Committee to handle employee benefits, including celebratory meals, employee outings, group anniversary celebrations, year-end banquets and discounts at employee shops or group purchasing.

We adhere strictly to legal regulations concerning leave entitlements, including annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, prenatal and postnatal care leave, paternity leave, bereavement leave, and family care leave. In addition, employees enjoy annual subsidized trips and are granted one paid day off for personal travel each year.
We also provide financial support for employees during significant life events such as marriage and childbirth. Moreover, in cases of hospitalization or serious illnesses, we offer both insurance coverage and heartwarming support through gestures like condolence gifts and personal visits.

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.

Through collaboration with specialized occupational physicians, nurses, and psychologists, we aim to provide holistic care for our employees' physical and mental health needs. Our initiatives include organizing health education workshops, nutrition seminars, and psychological counseling sessions. Additionally, we also provide relevant information to encourage our employees to lead active lifestyles with an aim to enhance their cardiovascular function, increase muscle endurance, and prevent injuries and illnesses related to prolonged sitting in the office. By prioritizing employee health and safety, we not only fulfill regulatory requirements but also nurture a dynamic and productive workforce.

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.
