Talent Capital Development
Talent Cultivation
To maintain a long-term competitive advantage and improve the capabilities of our employees, HIWIN has implemented a comprehensive education and training system, fostering an environment conducive to learning. This system encompasses various types of training, including orientation for new employees, core functional training, professional skill development, managerial skill enhancement, and external training opportunities. Our employees have access to a wide range of training options, such as classroom sessions, e-learning, on-the-job training, external courses, study groups, lectures, exhibition visits, academic pursuits, job rotations, and project assignments. The training content and delivery methods are rich and varied, offering employees ample opportunities for growth and development. In 2024, in-person training courses were continued and complemented with digital learning materials, attracting more employees to participate in training and ensuring that all employees had opportunities to receive training.
HIWIN is a learning-oriented organization that not only invests in the professional development of its employees but also promotes their overall well-being through a variety of activities. These activities include health seminars, volunteer training, service events, cultural enrichment, parenting workshops, legal seminars, and more. Our goal is to foster a culture of lifelong learning and ensure a balanced development of our employees’ work capabilities.
In 2024, we continue to plan our training initiatives with a focus on Smart Manufacturing, Quality Improvement, and Enhanced Management. To assess the effectiveness of our training programs, we utilize the Kirkpatrick Model’s four-level training evaluation framework, which includes Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results. This approach allows us to validate the outcomes of our annual key training and development initiatives. In 2024, we produced a total of 317 post-training projects/work reports, resulting in a combined financial benefit of NT$214 million.
