Employee Care and Benefits

Happy Work and Happy Life

Workplace wellness goes beyond physiological 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 actively promotes health initiatives to enhance employees’ health awareness and knowledge. Health Centers have been established at office locations and are staffed with medical clinics and dedicated health management teams to provide comprehensive healthcare services. In addition to well-established emergency response and medical referral mechanisms, employees have access to routine health consultations.

To further expand the scope of care, we have introduced on-site specialist consultation services covering ophthalmology, gynecology, urology, and nutrition counseling, bringing professional healthcare resources directly into the workplace. 

1. Health Examination

Wistron has established a positive health management cycle built around four key elements: prevention, treatment, counseling, and education. Each year, healthcare teams from medical centers visit our sites to provide accessible health examination services. Through active promotion and outreach, the health examination participation rate in Taiwan reached 95.88% in 2025.

Following the examinations, employees receive one-on-one consultations with physicians to review their results. For employees with significant health concerns, the Company proactively provides medical referral assistance and follow-up support, ensuring comprehensive health care and care. 

2. Internal Healthcare Platform

At Wistron’s Taiwan office locations, the Internal Healthcare Platform is used to conduct automated health risk screening. Employees with abnormal health indicators receive alerts and are contacted by health management specialists for consultations and medical guidance. 

For employees with major health conditions, the Company provides regular follow-up support and medical assistance over a period of three to six months. By combining smart systems with professional healthcare teams, Wistron supports employee health and serves as their greatest advocate.

Childbirth Benefits and Childcare Resources

Wistron actively promotes a family-friendly workplace through the Wistron Lecture Series, helping employees strengthen their knowledge of reproductive health and family care. During the year, seven themed seminars were held covering topics such as urinary health, blood sugar management, and parent-child communication. Spanning preventive health care and psychological support, these programs empowered employees to better care for themselves and their families. The series was popular among employees, attracting more than 1,000 participants and demonstrating Wistron’s commitment to employee and family well-being. 
 
Wistron is committed to protecting maternal health. Additional female-specific examination items are included in annual health checkups to support disease prevention and early screening. For pregnant employees, we provide enhanced care services and professional prenatal education programs to address pregnancy-related concerns and support women through a safe and healthy pregnancy. 

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.

4. Flexible Work Policies

Wistron has established flexible working hour policies across regions and roles to allow employees to balance work and life. 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.
 

6. Employee Support Programs

Wistron have established diverse programs and resources to balance their work, family care and physical and mental health needs.

7. Employee Welfare Programs

Wistron ensures that employees are entitled to leave and establishes a leave policy that is superior to the regulatory leave. 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.
