ESG
Employee benefits

The company's governance and operational management policies are not only focused on achieving budget and operational results but are also closely integrated with management indicators to fulfill the mission of corporate social responsibility. Beyond achieving profitability, it is crucial to create a friendly workplace environment.

To adequately care for employees, ensure their living conditions, provide excellent working conditions, and meet their needs, we not only provide basic protection in accordance with the law but also establish a friendly workplace environment and organize various employee welfare activities and subsidies.

Our company's year-end bonus system is based on the status of the company's after-tax earnings per share. It considers financial indicators (revenue achievement rate, gross profit achievement rate, operating profit achievement rate, and after-tax net profit achievement rate), non-financial indicators (compliance with laws, major deficiencies in operational risks, and special contributions), and individual employee performance. This bonus is distributed to all colleagues to encourage everyone to strive towards the company's goals. For several consecutive years, the after-tax earnings per share have been above NT$5. The company also shares its profits through employee compensation, bonuses, year-end bonuses, and salary adjustments as a way to give back to all employees.

Employee remuneration is regulated by Article 24 of the company's articles of association. According to this regulation, the company allocates employee and director remuneration from the pre-tax profits after compensating for any losses. If there is any remaining balance, a minimum of 2% must be allocated for employee remuneration. This remuneration can be provided in the form of stock or cash, and the recipients can include employees of subsidiary companies who meet certain conditions.

This plan applies to the service years of all official employees before the implementation of the "Labor Pension Act" on July 1, 2005, and to the subsequent service years of employees who chose to continue applying the Labor Standards Act after the implementation of the "Labor Pension Act." Employees who meet retirement conditions receive retirement payments based on their years of service and the average salary of the six months prior to retirement. For service years within 15 years (inclusive), two units are awarded for each full year of service. For service years exceeding 15 years, one unit is awarded for each full year, with a maximum accumulation of 45 units. The company contributes 2% of the total monthly salary to the retirement fund, which is deposited in a dedicated account under the name of the Labor Retirement Reserve Supervisory Committee at the Taiwan Bank Trust Department.

Retirement payments are made based on the balance and accumulated earnings in the employees' individual retirement accounts, either as monthly retirement payments or as a lump-sum payment. For the fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the company recognized retirement costs of NT$2,059,000 and NT$2,180,000, respectively, under this retirement plan.

  • Communication and Consultation

As a manufacturing plant that prioritizes quality, we employ the following strategies to ensure high standards: (1) Conduct quality tracking in weekly meetings with executives. (2) Hold monthly meetings to review and discuss quality issues. (3) Organize irregular quality meetings as needed. (4) Conduct mid-year and year-end strategy workshops for all employees, including direct production staff, to build consensus. Through a comprehensive process of education, review, and re-education, we maintain a high level of quality, ensuring that customers can purchase our products with confidence and assurance. 

The key difference between a group and a team is that a group is merely a collection of individuals, whereas a team is a unified body of individuals with aligned hearts and minds. We foster unity among employees through leadership and communication based on shared values and ideals, rather than authoritarianism.

We aim to replicate this success in new business divisions.
