Talent Development Program

Education and Training

he company firmly believes that employees are key stakeholders and valuable assets for sustainable corporate growth. To help new employees quickly integrate into the company, understand the corporate culture, align with the business philosophy, and familiarize themselves with management systems, the HR department conducts "New Employee Orientation" upon onboarding. This training includes a company introduction, workplace rules, a corporate integrity briefing, benefits, and an overview of the environment. In addition, senior employees or department supervisors act as mentors to guide and train new hires at their posts. Regular meetings are held between the HR department, mentors, and department supervisors to monitor the progress of new employees and offer support as needed.

To further develop talent and enhance job competencies, the company has established an "Education and Training Procedure" that organizes various internal and external training programs. Employees are also encouraged to participate in external training opportunities, including professional skill development and academic advancement, with the company offering course subsidies to create a diverse learning environment. This continuous learning helps employees grow and meet both the company’s operational needs and their personal career goals.

Training hours for employees in Taiwan and mainland China have increased. For more details, please refer to the respective appendices. (Note: Training programs were reduced in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.)

Performance Evaluation

The company has established comprehensive "Employee Performance Evaluation and Reward/Penalty Management Guidelines" for both Taiwan and mainland China operations. In Taiwan, indirect employees with over six months of service undergo evaluations twice a year. These assessments are divided into job performance and competency evaluations. Performance assessments not only support employees' continuous growth but also serve to attract, retain, and motivate key talent.

At the beginning of the year, supervisors communicate the organization’s overall objectives and guide employees in setting personal work goals aligned with the company's medium- and long-term objectives. The company provides regular performance review channels, offering employees feedback and areas for improvement. Evaluations are conducted with a fair and objective approach, serving as a basis for talent development, internal promotions, salary adjustments, and personnel changes.

Similar to Taiwan, department heads in mainland China also roll out organizational goals annually, guiding employees in setting individual work objectives that align with the organization’s medium- and long-term goals. Regular performance reviews and feedback sessions are conducted to evaluate and enhance employee performance. These assessments are conducted fairly and objectively, forming the foundation for talent development, promotions, salary adjustments, and personnel movement.

Healthy and Safe Workplace

We prioritize the well-being of our employees, fostering an inclusive, diverse, and friendly organizational atmosphere. We are committed to creating a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. In 2023, Wieson pledged to support the CHR Healthy Enterprise Citizen initiative by CommonHealth magazine.

Safety Management

To effectively manage activities, products, and services related to environmental safety and health, the company has implemented robust environmental safety and health management measures in compliance with regulatory standards. Since 2022, Jiangsu Wieson has been planning to introduce the ISO 45001:2018 management system. Other Wieson locations that have not yet adopted ISO 45001 continue to follow regulations set by central authorities, along with local laws and regulations, to establish relevant management practices. These locations adopt a self-regulatory management approach to prevent occupational hazards, ensuring the safety and health of all employees.

The company organizes annual health check-ups for all employees, covering the full cost of physical examinations for new hires. Beyond merely meeting legal requirements, we also exceed regulatory standards in terms of the frequency and scope of these health checks.

In Taiwan, health services are provided in accordance with the Labor Health Protection Regulations. Currently, an occupational medicine specialist visits twice a month for on-site health services, each lasting four hours. Additionally, the company’s occupational nurse offers health consultations on an ad-hoc basis to promote employee wellness and care. Furthermore, the company organizes at least two health seminars annually, addressing topics such as healthy eating, infectious disease prevention, and workplace stress management. To ensure a safe and comfortable working environment, we also conduct workplace environmental assessments every six months in compliance with occupational safety and health laws.

By continuously improving our environmental health and safety performance, we aim to provide employees with a safe working environment where they can enjoy both their work and personal lives in a high-quality workplace.

Workplace Safety Education and Training The company is dedicated to systematically and continuously implementing health and safety practices to minimize the risk of accidents during business operations. Both our Taiwan and mainland China locations have established relevant safety and health work protocols, emergency response plans, and risk identification and management procedures. These measures ensure standardized procedures for hazard identification, accident investigation, and incident response when hazards occur. Regular drills are conducted for all personnel, including emergency response procedure training, evacuation guidance, chemical spill prevention drills, and dormitory evacuation exercises. These drills assess employees' evacuation and assembly times to enhance preparedness. For employees who may come into contact with chemicals, we provide education and training on chemical hazard awareness. This training ensures that chemical handlers fully understand the properties of chemicals, the meaning of related labels, preventive operating procedures, and emergency spill response measures. The training aims to equip employees with proper knowledge of chemical handling to prevent accidents such as fires, explosions, or poisoning due to improper use. In the event of a spill, employees are trained to take swift and effective emergency measures to prevent the escalation of damage, thereby safeguarding lives, property, and the safety of workers, the workplace, and the surrounding environment. 2023 Occupational Safety Training： Training Program Sessions Trainees Hazardous Chemicals and Labeling Education Training 3 39 Hazard Prevention Advocacy (Including Online and In-person) 1 473 Certification-related: Initial, Recertification, Refresher 10 30 Non-Certification: Occupational Safety and Health Education `9 5553 Occupational Safety, Fire, and Natural Disaster Drills 4 1565 Scope of Data: Headquarters and all production sites.

Occupational Injury Statistics

In compliance with occupational safety and health regulations, the company regularly submits reports on occupational injury statistics and analyses according to local government requirements. In the event of a workplace injury, the company follows a reporting procedure to notify relevant supervisors immediately. Accident investigation and analysis are promptly carried out, followed by the implementation of corrective measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

In 2023, Jiangsu Wieson reported three workplace injury cases. After reviewing the causes and details of these incidents, preventive measures were formulated. These included upgrading safety barriers at key entry points and reinforcing safety training and awareness campaigns for relevant personnel. Warning signs were posted throughout the area, and additional protective equipment was installed to prevent future occurrences of similar incidents.

No cases of occupational diseases, as defined by law (including those involving non-employees), were reported in 2023.

Health Protection Measures

Appointment of Contracted Medical Personnel

The company employs professional nursing personnel, including contracted physicians and nurses, as part of an employee health service team dedicated to safeguarding the well-being of our employees. Employees can access appropriate medical advice and care through onsite consultations with occupational physicians and nurses, as well as referrals and other healthcare services while in the workplace.

Employee Health Check-ups

The company fully subsidizes a general physical examination for all new hires and provides annual health check-ups with more comprehensive coverage than standard labor health examinations. These enhanced check-ups include additional services such as ultrasound and cancer screenings.

After each annual health check-up, contracted occupational physicians and nurses analyze the results using the Framingham Risk Score to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease within the next ten years. Based on these findings, a graded management system is implemented to provide preventive care. Employees identified as high-risk are prioritized for follow-up care and health consultations during onsite services provided by the contracted medical team.

Friendly Work Environment

Since 1998, when the company invested in Dongguan Wieson, we have prioritized environmental beautification, air purification, and the reduction of factory emissions to promote employee health. Given the high frequency of vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the factory premises, we have enhanced the greenery around the main roads and buildings by planting trees and vegetation. This not only improves air quality but also elevates employees' mood, increasing their sense of well-being during work.

At our other production base, Jiangsu Wieson, which relocated to a new facility in September 2021, significant efforts were made to incorporate green spaces. With a 15% greenery rate, the improved air quality and comfortable environment contribute to a better work atmosphere, fostering an enhanced sense of well-being among employees.

The "Taiwan Science Park" building features ample public rest areas, with scenic views of Taipei’s iconic 101 Tower. Additionally, the floors occupied by our company include designated relaxation spaces and coffee machines to help employees unwind and recharge during work hours.

 

Wieson Dongguan

The living area of the Dongguan factory boasts 4,000 square meters of greenery, including a 300-square-meter fire pond. The landscaping primarily features evergreen plants, interspersed with tropical fruit trees and flowering plants, offering diverse seasonal scenery throughout the year. The pond is home to various species of fish, and from a higher vantage point, one can view the vibrancy and lush greenery of the company’s living area, brimming with life.

Beyond the living area, the factory grounds are also extensively landscaped, featuring towering King Palm trees, verdant pines, and neatly arranged flower beds, creating a lively and refreshing environment. This greening not only enhances the aesthetic appeal and beautifies the surroundings, but also provides more restful spaces for employees, offering them a visually relaxing atmosphere during their breaks.

Wieson Jiangsu

The Jiangsu plant boasts a green space of 13,516 square meters, with a greenery rate of 15%. The area includes a 200-square-meter fire water pond and a 150-square-meter rainwater recycling pond. The landscape is primarily filled with evergreen plants, complemented by flowering plants and fruit trees, offering a variety of scenic views throughout the year.

From a bird’s-eye view, the entire plant transforms with the seasons: in spring, the greenery flourishes with vibrant blossoms; in summer, the trees stand tall and full, providing shade; in autumn, the leaves turn golden with abundant fruit; and in winter, the trees remain resilient, covered in pristine snow. Set against the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, the plant exudes elegance and vitality. This lush environment not only enhances the plant's aesthetic but also provides employees with a more visually pleasing and comfortable workspace.
