Semiconductor Talent Cultivation
In line with the goal of "nurturing semiconductor talent" and fulfilling corporate social responsibility, the Company has long been dedicated to sharpening the skills of both internal and external talent. Additionally, it has redoubled efforts to fulfill its obligation in cultivating semiconductor emerging talent by actively engaging in various industry-academia collaboration initiatives in 2024.
Wafer Works promotes various industry-academia collaboration and internship activities each year. In 2024, the Company partnered with institutions such as Chung Yuan Christian University, Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, and Fan Shu Vocational School, engaging a total of 49 students. From the school stage onward, the Company cultivates talent in semiconductor materials, actively matches students with internship positions, and provides professional courses that enable students to gain deeper knowledge and technical skills in semiconductor materials during their studies. Upon graduation, interns are promoted and retained as full-time employees. In 2024, 9 interns were converted to regular positions, and their development was closely aligned with future talent development pathways, laying a strong foundation for the cultivation of semiconductor professionals and fulfilling the Company’s corporate social responsibility.
Performance Management and Career Planning
Consistent attention to employees and team members cultivates a mindset geared towards future enhancements and encourages forward-looking dialogues. At Wafer Works, we execute performance management via an open appraisal system accessible to all permanent staff. Through routine performance evaluations, managers conduct performance interviews with employees, addressing goal attainment, suggestions for skill enhancement, and career feedback. By understanding the differences in task completion and expectations between employees and supervisors, we underscore the mechanism of "prioritizing employee development over performance assessment."
Additionally, timely feedback and support, accessible at any time and from anywhere, facilitate swift improvements, ensuring prompt resolution of any performance issues. The Company highly values communication and feedback, nurturing and developing individual employee capabilities, thereby enhancing competitiveness and overall organizational efficiency, essential for corporate advancement.
In November each year, supervisors, in alignment with departmental goals for the following year and employees' career intentions and personal development needs, devise individual annual development plans. This allows employees to proactively acquire the knowledge and skills required for their positions, preparing them for future career development and achieving performance enhancement and development goals. During the year-end review, the effectiveness of their execution is evaluated based on the goals, job responsibilities, and learning plans set at the beginning of the year.
The Company conducts annual performance evaluations, wherein assessment criteria are tailored to job titles and responsibilities, serving as benchmarks for year-end bonuses, promotions, or salary adjustments. As per regulations, all employees with over a month's tenure undergo evaluations, with a 100% participation rate.
