Learning and Development Blueprint
To equip employees with the necessary basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes for their work, and to align with the company’s long-term development, AcBel promotes a competency-based talent development program and development blueprint. This provides employees with learning resources and rotation opportunities to build momentum for transformation and growth and to enrich individual career development possibilities.
AcBel implements a training credit system, establishing learning and development blueprints for different positions and levels that are linked to job promotions. Employees can participate in different learning paths based on their personal development needs. For example, in Taiwan, each employee must complete at least 24 credits per year. In 2022, the completion rate for employees at level 3 and above was 88%, which slightly increased to 89% in 2023. The company will continue to encourage employees to engage in self-directed learning, stimulate their workplace potential, and encourage all employees to participate in learning, thereby enhancing the company’s overall competitiveness.
Overview of Employee Education and Training Implementation
In 2023, the company invested 23,986 thousand NTD in training expenses, accounting for 0.44% of operating expenses. This investment amount represents a 51% increase compared to 2022 and marks the fourth consecutive year of growth, demonstrating the company’s commitment to talent development and cultivation. During the corporate transformation phase, the company also invested in the development and cultivation of transformation talent, such as competency restructuring, internal promotion, and analysis of the current capabilities of transformation talent, providing a crucial foundation for future training planning. Additionally, adapting to new learning models, the company offered diverse and efficient micro-course resources for employees tochoose flexibly, which also contributed to the increase in education and training expenses.
The company continuously invests resources to provide a variety of online and in-person education and training courses. In 2023, AcBel held a total of 270 in-person courses, with a completion rate of 87%. Additionally, the company introduced a mobile learning system through an app, offering employees diverse and self-directed learning resources. Domestic and international employees can access online courses, complete quizzes, and fill out satisfaction surveys at any time via digital devices. This comprehensive education and training program encourages a culture of learning across departments and the entire company. By the end of 2023, 145 online courses were available, with a total of 14,008 participants and a completion rate of 89%. The 2023 statistics show that the average satisfaction score for in-person courses was 3.71, and for digital courses, it was 3.65 (out of 4, with a basic threshold of 3.2).
Incentives for Certificates and Language Learning
In line with AcBel’s international development strategy, the company encourages employees to participate in language learning courses and related exams in their spare time to improve their foreign language proficiency. Employees who pass the certification exams are awarded language bonuses. Although the number of applicants and the amount of learning subsidies decreased in 2023, the language bonuses and “foreign language certification subsidy amounts” continued to increase. This indicates that employees’ foreign language learning has progressed from the learning stage to passing certification exams and receiving bonuses, reflecting their learning achievements.
Human Rights Training
All operational sites of the company conduct human rights assessments and evaluations. Employee education and training are used to strengthen human rights awareness, ensuring that employees’ rights are 100% protected, demonstrating the company’s commitment to reducing the risk of human rights violations. Considering the different management methods at each operational site, some Factories independently plan and conduct training programs. Management-level courses are provided, while general employees receive enhanced awareness campaigns.
