We provide competitive remuneration as well as training and development opportunities for attracting and retaining professional talents. Additionally, we employ workers who are not employees to provide services and facilitate the execution of internal operations, such as deliver service in direct stores.
We take human rights in the workplace seriously and we value workforce diversity. Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our culture and core values. We have an unwavering commitment to diversity with the aim of making everyone feel a sense of belonging within our organization. We are committed to building a highly diverse community with talented professionals – a community filled with various perspectives, ideas, and backgrounds that contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture.
TWM is an equal employment opportunity employer, and its application processes center on the principles of open and fair recruitment. Our diversity initiatives and strategies are designed to attract, develop, and advance the most talented individuals regardless of any dimension of diversity. Remuneration for candidates is evaluated according to their education, experiences, specialty and certification. There is no discrimination based on gender, sexual preference, age, marital status, race or disability in terms of remuneration, benefits, promotion, raises, term, training, working conditions and right to work.
At the end of 2023, TWM and its subsidiaries had 5,991 employees, all employees were locally hired. 99.10% of employees are Han people. Most of emplpyees were between the ages of 31 to 50. (<30 years old : 15.9%；30-50 year old : 68.2%；>50 years old : 15.9%) Females comprised 48.4% and males comprised 51.6% of all employees. Females accounted for 48.0% of the positions in management (the slight decline in the indicator is due to workforce fluctuations), and we are on track to meet our target to 50% by 2025. By 2025, we aim to have 50% of women in all management positions. Females in junior management positions is 50.8%. Females in top management positions is 33.9%. According to the “Women in the workplace study 2023” conducted by McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org, the representation of women at (senior) vice president level is around 28~33%. The percentage of female executives in our company is higher compared to the percentage of women in senior leadership positions in the Women in the Workplace Study 2023. The higher percentage of female executives in our company demonstrates that our company values diversity and promotes female advancement in leadership roles. This is a positive sign that our company is committed to creating an inclusive and supportive work environment that offers equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender. By promoting gender diversity in leadership positions, our company can benefit from a wider range of perspectives and experiences, which can ultimately lead to improved decision-making and better business outcomes. Females in management positions in revenue-generating functions (e.g. sales) is 52.6%. Women in STEM-related positions is 16.2%.

(Statutory quota: 57; actual hire: 92)

The company has been actively engaging foreign recruitment recently, particularly targeting foreigners from Southeast Asia. We have explored and developed various recruitment channels. We contacted Southeast Asian communities in Taiwan and established relationships with overseas student groups in universities. In addition, we actively joined government and private organizations that assist in matching foreign workers. We have become a member of Contact Taiwan, which is a national internet platform of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Contact Taiwan’s mission is to engage oversea Chinese and global talent to work, live and invest in Taiwan. We participated in the physical overseas job fair for foreign students in Taiwan, and posted job vacancies on the Foreign Trade Development Association. Through aforementioned various recruitment channels, we hope to increase the employment of more foreign professionals. Increasing the hiring of foreign professionals can benefit our company in various ways. First, it brings diversity to our workforce, which can lead to increased creativity and innovation in problem-solving. Second, it can provide a wider range of perspectives and expertise to our team. Overall, hiring foreign professionals can help us build a stronger and more competitive team, and better position us for success in the global market.Management positions breakdown by ethnicity: Han people: 99.45%、Indigenous employees: 0.55%、foreign employees:0%.

When new employees are hired, they are given our employment contracts to review in advance. All employees are required to submit signed employment contracts when they come onboard to protect the rights of both parties.
We promote diversity management to maximize our diverse workforce to generate innovations and new values. Seeking to provide attractive value for customers by meeting varied market needs and keeping ahead of the curve in a fast-changing competitive environment, we consistently pursued diversity management, deriving our competitive edge from a diverse workforce with different attributes. We aspire to achieve sustainable corporate growth by paying respect to positive heterogeneity and leverage the growth to provide new value.
- *Note
The number of new hires and turnovers as well as their gender and age distributions in 2023 are shown in the table below.
To reduce the turnover rate, we need to understand and determine the reason why employees are leaving the company. The best way to learn this is by conducting exit interviews before an employee leaves to clarify the reason for their resignation and find the root cause. The information we gather from these exit interviews will allow us to share and discuss with hiring managers to find solutions to reduce the turnover rate. Moreover, we provide career consulting to departing employees, and some of them withdraw their resignation following the exit interview.

(1) We conduct exit interviews with departing employees to gather feedback and insights to help us identify areas for improvement. We have successfully retained employees who were considering leaving due to personal reasons such as relocation. For instance, we had an employee who had to resign due to her spouse's work relocation to Germany, but we successfully retain her by implementing a remote work arrangement. We have also accommodated requests from employees who wanted to relocate to different cities in Taiwan. Through project-based adjustments, we were able to retain talented employees and keep them within the company. Additionally, we provide internal transfers or unit adjustments opportunities to departing employees. Some of them choose to stay in the company and transfer to other business units that better match their professional skills and career development.
(2) New employees Care Programs- reduces turnover rate
Through implementation of orientation, questionnaires, mentor program, online community, manuals etc., new
employees can reflect inquires or questions and get feedback timely.
New employee workshop is held for employees who served a period of 3 to 12 months. Top executives are
invited to give talks to employees and feedback to their opinions. The recommendation rate of this
workshop reached 97.4% in 2023. Due to the effective implementation of our new employee programs,
consisting of orientation, mentorship, new employee online community, on-job training, the turnover rate
of the participants was 29.7% lower than those who did not attend the workshop.
(3) Career Development Program
We encourage employee’s involvement in career management. During performance evaluation, employees can
express their career development objectives and willingness to have job rotation within the division or
cross-functional division, and even affiliated companies through online career development survey. The
survey provides references to supervisors when redesigning and assigning tasks. We conduct employee
engagement survey in 2023. The survey results show that " My work gave me a sense of personal
accomplishment." - the satisfaction rate is 84%”. Depending on each employee’s survey result, supervisors
shall periodically discuss with employees about career plans and provide suggestions for their future
careers. Internal job vacancies are posted on intranet and employees can apply for internal transfer. We
encourage employees take initiative to enrich learning experiences and fulfill career development through
internal job rotation.
By adopting these strategies, we have been able to reduce our voluntary turnover rate and retain top talent. However, we understand that we must continue to listen to our employees' feedback and adapt to their needs to ensure their satisfaction and engagement in our company. Our commitment to reducing turnover rates is an ongoing effort, and we will continue to explore innovative approaches to retain our employees and promote a positive and rewarding work environment.
