Employee Care and Benefits

Happy Work and Happy Life

Workplace wellness goes beyond physical and mental care; it also helps mitigate hidden risks. At Wistron, we have long been committed to promoting exercise and health management programs. From the moment a new employee joins, we ensure their well-being through regular health check-ups and ongoing care.
Wistron’s offices and plants are known for offering a wide range of engaging employee benefits and activities that help balance work and life. These include travel subsidies, sports competitions, arts and cultural events, family days and parent-child activities, departmental gatherings, team-building events, and educational seminars.
In addition to supporting physical and mental health, Wistron implements various care programs across plants, such as flexible work arrangements and benefits exceeding legal requirements, to help employees achieve a work-life balance.

Employee Health Management

Wistron regularly organizes health campaigns and established a health center and medical room in the office area, serviced by the health management team. They provide emergency medical treatment and health consultation services. In 2024, they assisted with medical services 51 times. Additionally, we introduced specialized medical consultations, offering opportunities to consult with ophthalmologists, gynecologists, urologists, nutritionists, etc.

Wistron provides employees with regular health check-up services to help identify potential health issues early and offers relevant medical advice and follow-up care. The company has established psychological counseling and specialist medical consultation services to assist employees in managing work-related stress and personal issues, thereby safeguarding their mental health.

1. Health Examination

Wistron's health management team divides "Employee Health Management" into four management processes: risk prevention and monitoring, treatment, counseling, and education and training. Their goal is to establish a positive health management cycle. Every year, we offer comprehensive health check-ups to help our employees monitor their health. We invite medical professionals from medical centers to visit various offices and plants to deliver convenient health checks. In 2024, Wistron organized a two-month long company-wide health examination campaign. Through internal promotion and personalized reminders, our participation rate in Taiwan exceeded 94.99%.

After completing the annual health checkups, health management personnel at each office and plant coordinate consultation services, with professional physicians providing one-on-one review sessions of the examination reports. For employees with significant abnormal findings, we offer medical referral assistance and subsequent medical advice, demonstrating genuine care for each employee’s health.

2. Internal Healthcare Platform

At our Taiwan office, we have established an Internal Healthcare Platform. When an employee exhibits health concerns, the system automatically adds them to a reminder list, and designated personnel send detailed health reminder emails specifying which health indicators exceed standard risk thresholds. Health managers regularly follow up through phone interviews and one-on-one consultations, encouraging employees to seek medical care and providing personalized health advice.

Employees suffering major illnesses are reminded of regular follow-up visits every three and six months and offered assistance with medical arrangements. This initiative not only demonstrates our commitment to employee health but also reflects our company’s human-centered care. In today’s fast-paced work environment, we are dedicated to providing every employee with a reliable health support system, helping them maintain both physical and mental well-being as they pursue their career development.

Additionally, during the annual health screenings conducted at Taiwan office locations, specialized check-up items designed specifically for female employees enable early detection and prevention of potential health issues. To provide more comprehensive care for pregnant employees, the company offers dedicated courses that address various questions and challenges encountered during pregnancy, serving as a trusted companion to support them through their pregnancy journey.

2. Parental Leave Applications and Reinstatements

Wistron adheres to local regulations and designs corresponding paid maternity leave and paid parental leave policies. Eligible employees may apply for these leaves accordingly. In Taiwan, we provide nine weeks of paid maternity leave before or after childbirth. After childbirth, employees can apply for paid parental leave in compliance with the law. Employees on paid parental leave are eligible for six months (approximately 24 weeks) of allowances and subsidies, which can be claimed by either or both parents. Wistron will reach out to employees about their intention to return 45 days prior to the completion of the parental leave. Starting in 2024, Wistron offers 30 days of flexible parental leave to meet employees’ short-term childcare needs. In China, regulations may vary by region. From 2022, we have begun implementing parental leave, allowing parents to apply for 10 days of paid parental leave each year until their child reaches the age of three. In the Czech Republic, we provide a total of 28 weeks of maternity and parental leave in accordance with local regulations, along with an additional two weeks of father (paternity) leave. In Mexico and Brazil, we provide approximately 12 and 17 weeks of maternity leave, respectively, along with 5 days of paternity leave.

3. Family Care Resources

Wistron provides various flexible caregiving leave options in accordance with local customs and regulations. When employees have family members or relatives who are sick or experiencing significant incidents, they can request leaves based on their needs to reduce the caregiving burdens on their families.
In Taiwan, full-time employees enjoy seven days of paid leave annually, which exceeds legal requirements. Employees can take leave to care for their families without having to provide supporting documents, offering them the convenience of being able to handle emergencies accordingly. In China, if an employee is the only child and their parents are hospitalized due to illness at the age of 60, they are eligible to apply for 5-15 days of paid nursing leave. In the Czech Republic, employees are entitled to nine days of family caregiving leave, while single parents are given 16 days. We also offer a long-term family caregiving leave of 90 days.

For indirect employees, flexible working hours are available in Taiwan, certain Chinese facilities, Japan, the Czech Republic, Mexico, and Brazil. For example, in Taiwan, employees are given half an hour to one hour of flexible work hours at the start and end of the workday. For direct employees, different shifts are provided for different roles. For instance, shift A is from 7 AM to 4 PM, and shift B is from 8 AM to 5 PM. Employees have the flexibility to adjust their working hours based on the requirements of their tasks. In Czech Republic, Wistron provides part-time job opportunities for candidates or employees caring for young children or just returning from parental leave. This allows them to choose part-time positions and balance their responsibilities in their work and homes.

5. Complete Retirement Plan

To develop a stable retirement plan for the employees and therefore enhance employees’ engagement to the Company, Wistron establishes rules for the employee retirement plan in accordance with the Labor Standard Law and Labor Pension Act. Wistron contributes six percent of applicable employee's monthly wage to the labor pension per month according to Labor Pension Act. Besides, Wistron establishes Supervisory Committee of Workers’ Retirement Fund to allocate employee retirement reserve fund each month in accordance with “Rules for the Allocation and Management of the Workers’ Retirement Fund” and deposits the fund into the dedicated account in the name of Supervisory Committee in the legally established banks.

The headquarters announce a human rights policy to ensure that each site complies with local requirements regarding working hours, annual leave, and employment regulations. Through internal document promotions, training, manuals, etc., the company ensures that all employees are aware of the relevant policy contents. Each department is required to arrange employee leave plans that consider both employee leave rights and production capacity scheduling. A standardized and user-friendly leave application process and platform are established to ensure employees’ leave rights and to enable supervisors to respond promptly to leave requests and handle related matters. Employees are enabled to conveniently check their remaining leave balance at any time, with regular reminders provided to ensure they are aware of their leave rights.
