Talent Development

Taiwan Mask Corporation regards human rights as a core value of its business operations. Adhering to international human rights norms such as the *Universal Declaration of Human Rights*, the *UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights*, the *UN Global Covenant*, and the *International Labour Organization*, Taiwan Photonics integrates these principles into its company policies and management systems to create a respectful, equal, and friendly environment, ensuring the rights of all employees, customers, and stakeholders are protected. Taiwan Mask Corporation actively promotes human rights awareness and has established a comprehensive grievance mechanism to ensure employee rights are protected. Specific measures include: ■ Human Rights Education: To deepen employees' understanding of human rights, Taiwan Mask Corporation incorporates human rights policy education courses into the training of new employees, emphasizing the company's commitment to and implementation of human rights. ■ Unimpeded Grievance Channels: Taiwan Mask Corporation provides multiple grievance channels, allowing employees to submit grievances online, via email, or in writing. The company strictly protects the information of grievancers and has established relevant disciplinary measures to ensure that employees can express their opinions in a safe and fair environment. Thanks to the collective efforts of all employees, no major human rights violations occurred at any of the Taiwan Mask Group's operating locations in 2024, demonstrating the company's commitment to creating a workplace environment that respects human rights. Taiwan Mask Corporation also values ​​the development of each employee. To help new employees integrate quickly, we have designed a comprehensive "Newcomer Training" system, including: ■ Mentorship Program: Senior employees provide one-on-one training to new employees, covering machine operation and related knowledge. Engineers assist in tracking training progress, ensuring machine operation certification is completed within three months. This system not only standardizes teaching methods but also improves learning efficiency and quality. ■ Educational Courses: Through systematic courses, we help new employees understand company culture, product knowledge, and occupational safety, quickly improving work efficiency. For production line personnel, we regularly hold refresher courses annually to confirm correct operating procedures and review material to maintain high-quality work standards. In addition to new employee training, we also offer diverse career development programs, such as professional skills training courses and career development counseling, to help employees continuously learn, improve their professional skills, find their own stage within the company, and achieve their career goals. Looking ahead to 2025, Taiwan Mask Corporation will formulate a more comprehensive "New Employee Education and Training Management Regulations," planning new employee training courses for departments related to the production line. These regulations will clarify the learning direction and content for new employees and provide senior employees and mentors with training and assessment plans to follow, improving training efficiency and consistency, and further strengthening the talent development system. Based on the principle of "suitable personnel for suitable positions," Taiwan Mask Corporation tailors exclusive training programs for employees of different levels and positions, mainly divided into three categories: new employee training, direct employee education and training, and indirect employee education and training. Through various internal courses, we strengthen the technical training of direct employees, enhance the management functions of indirect employees, strengthen internal communication, and accelerate the integration of new employees into the organization. In addition to continuously organizing internal departmental courses, Taiwan Mask Corporation encourages employees with more than one year of service to become internal seed instructors, sharing their experience and professional knowledge with colleagues to achieve internal knowledge transfer. Through the seed instructor development mechanism, professional teaching skills training is provided, and instructors receive appropriate recognition. Taiwan Mask Corporation also provides external training opportunities for any work-related or needed courses. Employees can apply or be assigned by relevant departments and participate after approval. The diverse and comprehensive courses, combined with a post-course feedback mechanism, not only allow course feedback to serve as an important reference for course improvement but also help supervisors and the human resources department fully understand the needs of subordinates and peers. Taiwan Mask Corporation's education plan implementation rate reached 84.6% this year. In the future, the company will continue to optimize its training program, leveraging employee strengths to lead employees and the company towards the next milestone. In 2024, the total training hours for Taiwan Mask Corporation was 4,484.22 hours, with an average of 8.90 hours per employee; the total training hours for Milo were 84 hours, with an average of 2.15 hours per employee; and the total training hours for Eggersen were 1,612 hours, with an average of 9.54 hours per employee.
