We arrange different types of training according to the employee needs at different stages, including the orientation training, professional competency training and management competency training. Apart from recruiting in-house instructors to share their experience, we hire external professional instructors or send employees to courses or seminars organized by external organizations from time to time to enrich the work knowledge and capacity of employees.

The Company arranges internal education and training sessions for new hires. The courses include company rules and systems, regulatory compliance, ethical management principles, the Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct, management measures for preventing insider trading, advocacy for the prohibition of insider trading, etc. The courses promote employees’ morality and ethics as the company's primary requirements. The introduction to the operating system and brand, explanation for product launch and logistics, etc. also help personnel quickly become familiar with the workplace environment and basic rules.
 
Talent is the most important asset of the company. Course units or projects are shared internally with personnel during their employment to reinforce their work knowledge. As for specialized or management skills, appropriate courses offered by external lecturers are arranged to further improve the employees' work capabilities. In order to encourage employees to develop reading habits and gain new knowledge, we have subscribed to books, newspapers, and magazines for them to borrow. For managers who are middle-level and above, we provide the online version of the CommonWealth Magazine. The total expenses in 2021 were about NT$71,000.
 

New hires must be evaluated before the end of the three-month probation period. For full-time personnel who have worked for three months, the company conducts two performance appraisals a year (in June and December). Personnel is categorized under three types, management, marketing and sales, and general personnel.
 
Full-time personnel discusses their work objectives with their supervisors according to the annual plan or job description at the beginning of the year. In the middle of the year, the progress is reviewed, and discussions are conducted to see if the work objectives should be adjusted for the second half of the year. At the end of the year, the implementation results are reviewed again, and the review results are used as the bases for bonus distribution, promotion, salary raise, etc., and the feedback on the performance appraisal is used to assess the participants and contents for the organization of education and training sessions.

Employee safety is our top consideration. We avoid dangerous installations in the workplace. The Building Management Committee performs fire equipment checks periodically. Security guards implement access management on people entering the office building. CCTV cameras are installed in the common area for security guards to monitor anomalies at all times. A gated access control system is installed at the office entrance to control access with the keycard after opening times. We also publicize and remind employees of epidemic prevention, work safety concepts, and measures during morning assemblies to enhance employee safety protection.

For epidemic diseases or disasters, such as influenza, earthquakes, etc. the company conducts promotion on relevant prevention or precautions from time to time to strengthen the employees' knowledge of pandemic control and disaster prevention. The company also uses group or external resources (such as government agencies and disaster prevention associations) to arrange 1 to 2-hour internal seminars on safety or health knowledge from time to time. However, due to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic that started in 2020, the course arrangements with external lecturers were suspended and internal occupational safety and hygiene training was used to ensure employees' safety and disaster prevention awareness and their familiarity with various first aid SOPs. In 2021, during the period when the pandemic situation was relatively mild, the company coordinated seed personnel from each office to receive education and training in the "First Aid Training Class" in external agencies with a total of 4 people receiving a total of 72 hours of training.
 
In response to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic that started in 2020, the president has invited the heads of various departments to hold pandemic control meetings regularly. They communicated the latest development and discussed and resolved pandemic control measures to maintain workplace safety and employees' health, which has minimized the impact of the pandemic on the company's operations. The head of human resources and general affairs coordinates the pandemic control measures and serves as the point of contact for pandemic control announcements and reporting of abnormal events.
