FPCC has been fair, impartial, and open with its recruiting operation and has never hired child labor to do any work. We maximize our recruitment sources through multiple channels and hire according to the performance of each examinee.

We will continue to recruit new employees as the source of organizational innovation.

There are specific regulations in place for the promotion, evaluating, training, and reward or punishment systems for all employees, so that everyone is treated fairly. As such, no discrimination, violation of human rights, or forced labor incidents occurred in 2022. The ratio of people with physical or mental disorders hired over the most recent four years meets the requirement set forth in the People with Disabilities Rights Protection Act of no less than 1% of the total number of employees.

FPCC takes gender equality very seriously. Even though the ratio of female employees is relatively low due to industry characteristics, female supervisors account for 9.45% level 2 supervisors in 2022, promotion channels are transparent and standardized. The number of second level female supervisors has increased over the past 4 years, and shows our efforts in creating a workplace environment with gender equality. Percentage of senior management hired locally in Taiwan was 100%.
