Diversity and Inclusion
Support employment diversity and equity with actions
- We uphold the concept of equality for everyone. In addition to employing foreign workers from multiple countries, the company also leverages its inclusion spirit in hiring native foreign spouses (the so-called “spouses from China, spouses from other countries”) by employing 0 part-time workers and 3 interns.
- In terms of promotion, nationality is not a factor to be considered. Promotion is offered depending on management capability. There are five supervisors with foreign nationals in 2023.
Care for disadvantaged groups
- We pay special attention to employment for disadvantaged groups. In 2023, there were no newly employed individuals with mild disability. With this, the company retains a total of 8 mentally/physically disadvantaged individuals including 2 individuals with severe physical disability. In terms of proportion, our employees have 1.7% disability people, which is more than the mandatory employment 1.0% rate based on the “People with Disabilities Rights Protection Act.”
- In addition, the company also employs 6 financially disadvantaged employees, and this accounts for 1.3% of the total employee number. In the event the company needs extended working hours (overtime), such employees with urgent financial needs than those of other employees will be considered. Therefore, departments will be requested to arrange overtime for employees of this group to increase their income.
Statistics for employment of physically disadvantaged individuals during the last 3 years
Year | Shulin | Yingge | Dongshan | Total | Employment Percentage |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2021 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 1.2% |
2022 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 8 | 1.7% |
2023 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 8 | 1.7% |
Migrant worker care
We comply with related labor laws from the International Labour Organization, the International Organization for Migration, various international covenants, and the Domestic Labor Standards Act. Starting in 2022, the company initiated a full-scale implementation of a” Zero Relocation Fee” policy for migrant workers. To protect migrant worker’s rights, related expenses incurred during the employment process such as domestic and foreign pandemic prevention expenses, domestic and foreign service fees, physical examination fees and residence certificate fees will all be assumed in full amount by the company. This not only releases migrant workers’ financial pressure when coming to Taiwan but also allows migrant workers to utilize these saved expenses to improve their quality of life as well as that of their families.
“Zero Placement Fee” policy for migrant workers has resulted in the reimbursement of fees for a total of 126 migrant workers.
Resulted in the reimbursement of fees amounting to $3,103,811 TWD in 2023.
Each migrant worker can save an average of $24,633 TWD on transportation expenses.
▲ We promoted a new workplace culture through DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), celebrating the Philippines holiday Christmas together in 2023. We organized the event “Phili Sweet Christmas” to enhance employees’ sense of belonging and significantly boost morality within the company.
