The Company also has an Employee Welfare Committee that organizes exciting and interesting recreation activities on a yearly basis to maintain employees' work-life balance as well as physical and mental well-being, and create a sustainably healthy workplace. We believe a competitive and stable workforce to be essential for improving the productivity and competitive advantage of the Company. We continue to design and provide an environment where talents may thrive. Through talent cultivation, we strive to become the best employer that looks after talents.

  • Diversified recruitment policy

    Since Nanya has business operations based in Taiwan and overseas, the nationalities of the Company's employees are quite diverse. Our operations are distributed both domestically and internationally, so our employees' nationalities are highly diverse. In addition to employing Taiwanese nationals, in 2024, we employed individuals from 13 different nationalities, including Mainland Chinese, French, German, Japanese, American, Burmese, Italian, Kenyan, South Korean, Turkish, British, Indonesian, and Malaysian, forming an internationally diverse workplace. We also align with and support the government's policy of encouraging the employment of people with disabilities, creating a friendly and diverse workplace. As of December 2024, we employed 42 individuals with disabilities in Taiwan, with a hiring rate of 1.17%. We will continue to employ a sufficient number of people with disabilities, providing suitable job vacancies to increase their employment opportunities and build a diverse and inclusive workplace.

  • Stable workforce

    The capital and technology-intensive semiconductor industry requires not only substantial investment in plant and manufacturing equipment costing tens of billions of NTD, but also a large number of talented engineering professionals for Nanya Technology's production operations. In 2024, our Taiwan and overseas subsidiaries employed 3,693 regular employees (including 85 interns). The gender ratio among regular employees is approximately 2.6:1, with 2,671 male employees (72.3%) and 1,022 female employees (27.7%). In 2024, Nanya Technology had 33 female managers in executive and middle management positions, representing 12.55% of this level. This number has been increasing over the years and based on this trend, the projected percentage of female managers is expected to reach 13% by 2025. The average age of our employees is 39.10 years, and the 30-50 age group constitutes our main labor force, comprising 68.48% of the total regular employees. The educational level of our workforce is primarily concentrated on the bachelor's and master's levels. All regular and non-regular employees are directly hired by the Company, with no part-time employees in 2024. 100% of our workforce is full-time.

  • Attracting High-Quality Talent

    In 2024, our Taiwan recruitment efforts resulted in 411 hires with an investment of approximately NT$720,000, yielding an average cost per hire of NT$1,764. We employ diverse recruitment channels, including online advertisements and internal referrals, and posting talent recruitment information on our official social media platform to enhance company visibility. Furthermore, we strengthen industry-academia collaborations to target students, focusing on their technical and practical skills to proactively identify and recruit outstanding talent and overcome recruitment challenges. Our university recruitment events, themed Leading the Future with Your Intelligence, feature on-campus interactions, communication, and seminars, encouraging aspiring tech professionals to bravely pursue and realize their dreams as well as contribute to the development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry.

Talent Retention

Comprehensive Work Security

In response to industry changes and operational environment challenges, the Company continuously promotes fair and reasonable work practices, prioritizing the protection of employee work rights. Under the Formosa Plastics Group's human resource integration and utilization mechanism, we prioritize internal transfers over layoffs in terms of workforce adjustment. To motivate employees to achieve organizational goals and retain outstanding talent, we have established a quarterly incentive bonus system, encouraging employees to actively pursue business targets and share in the Company's success. In 2024, our voluntary turnover rate was 6.21% (with a male to female turnover ratio of approximately 3.29:1), an increase of 1.63% compared to 2023, which was 4.58%. Such an increase is attributed to the overall industry environment and market conditions raising employees' incentives to resign. To stabilize our workforce, starting in July 2024, we implemented several measures: an adjustment to the starting salary for entry-level employees with no experience, routine annual salary adjustments for all managers and employees, and structural salary adjustments for specific departments and professionals, aiming to ensure a happy and safe working environment for employees.

Offering Good Remuneration

To ensure the competitiveness of our overall remuneration package, our compensation and benefits system is planned and reviewed through local salary surveys and regional salary benchmarking associations, taking into account industry competitiveness, macroeconomic factors, and the sustainable operation of the corporate culture. Monthly salary includes base salary, meal/transportation/regional allowances, operational allowance, and efficiency bonus. Additionally, we provide variable remuneration such as bonuses, which are determined by individual employee performance and the achievement rate of organizational goals (or profitability), regardless of gender, to reward employees for excellent performance and share our success. In 2024, the average salary for full-time non-managerial employees was NT$1,379,000, a 13% increase compared to 2023. The median salary for full-time non-managerial employees was NT$1,111,000.

Talent Development Guidelines

The Five New Initiatives: Innovation Practice, Development & Sales, Construction & Maintenance, Talent Development, Cultivation & Application

Subsequent to our We Together. We Learn. We Grow Co-Learning Gathering, which commenced in 2021 and spanned three consecutive years, our talent cultivation program was revised in 2024 to align with the Company's development strategy. Consequently, we launched the Five New Initiatives: New Process Autonomous Technology, New Product Development and Sales, New Workforce Competencies Development, New Generation Management Skills, and New Skills Application & Cultivation Guidelines. The employee training and development action plans are outlined as follows:

Diverse learning paths

Based on the Five New Initiatives, Nanya Technology provides employees with diverse learning models, promotes lifelong learning and supports employee career development by offering a comprehensive and diverse range of learning channels to meet their varied learning needs.

W.A.K.E Up Actions: Fostering a Friendly Workplace

Beyond offering industry-competitive wages, Nanya Technology promotes an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), complemented by its WAKE Up Actions initiative which provides comprehensive welfare across four key pillars: Wellness, Assistance, Kindness, and Exercise. Our goal is to build a happy workplace and cultivating a group of joyful tech professionals.

  • Wellness

    The Company works with a medical team at Chang Gung Hospital to provide more frequent employee health examinations than required by law. A health center is set up in fabs with nurses compliant with regulations, and doctors are also stationed in fabs.

  • Assistance

    To provide employees with a friendly and convenient work environment, the Company planned meals, accommodations, shuttle buses, and parking lots. The Company also has an Employee Welfare Committee available to arrange diverse benefits and activities for employees. In 2024, a total of 8,455 people participated in various activities organized by the Employee Welfare Committee.

  • Kindness

    To help new recruits adapt to the new workplace as quickly as possible, a counselor is made available to offer regular assistance, counseling, and guidance services to new employees who have joined the Company for less than two years, those who have taken the initiative to ask for help, referrals from supervisors, and employees who have taken long sick leaves. The goal is to reduce employees' feeling of insecurity caused by being in a new environment and help them integrate into the Company as quickly as possible. Furthermore, we brought in the professional counseling institution "Teacher Chang Foundation." in 2019 to accompany employees in using scientific methods to determine the underlying cause when they find themselves in a dilemma, stabilizing employees' work quality as well as physical and mental wellbeing.

  • Exercise

    The multi-purpose sports and recreation center includes air track, basketball court, badminton court, KTV, pool table, table tennis, aerobics room, massage chair, and fitness equipment. Nanya organizes a variety of events to promote sports for the mental-physical balance of employees. We organized a series of "Sports Festival" activities in 2019. Departments and clubs submitted creative proposals to utilize sports venues and facilities for sports promotion, creative thinking, and creating a more lively atmosphere in the Company.

Employee Protection and Communication

To cultivate harmonious labor relations, promote cooperation between labor and management, and enhance employee welfare, we have established diverse and transparent communication channels. These enable employees to express their views on fundamental working condition issues, including health and safety and employee benefits. We actively seek to understand employee concerns and address issues promptly to foster positive labor-management communication. Employees can also provide feedback on Company rules and regulations through the management system feedback channel. Employees can openly communicate with management on various public and private matters, working conditions, compensation and benefits, or personal opinions through the following channels:

  • Meetings
    • Regular convention of employee meetings
    • Administration contact window forum
    • Production line workers' quarterly meetings
    • Unscheduled department meetings
  • Two-way communication platforms
    • Life Space
    • Feedbacks and opinions
  • Electronic survey
    • Satisfaction with catering service
    • Satisfaction with activities
    • Employee Engagement Survey

Zero-Tolerance for Harassment and Discrimination

Employee Human Rights Protection

Nanya Technology is highly attentive to labor rights and has established a Human Rights Policy as well as Labor and Ethics Policy. These policies follow international human rights standards, including the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct, SA8000 Social Accountability Standard, International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), along with relevant local laws. Nanya Technology promotes human rights risk assessment and management to build a supportive workplace that embraces inclusivity and diversity.

They jointly advise on and deliberate the occupational safety and health management system, the status of safety and health goals, incident investigations, and project performance. To enhance safety and health communication as well as legal compliance, we regularly verify local regulations and review internal management policies, contingency response procedures, and environmental safety operating procedures.

In 2024, these efforts included 38 internal audits, leading to 11 corrective action requests. Moreover, we foster bilateral communication through internal audits, conduct annual third-party external audits, and leverage the Safety & Environment Event Tracking System (SETS).
