Cultivate Talent

To build multifaceted learning channels and continuously develop the professional competencies and self-learning needs of employees, in 2023 we introduced the e-learning training platform, digitized the management of education and training courses, and progressively developed e-learning teaching materials, including corporate regulations, product specifications, occupational safety, and manufacturing process to digitize 87% of required fundamental courses. In 2023 we initiated the manufacturing skills e-learning course production project, inventoried the skills of various stations, filmed each procedure and step, and planned and produced 158 e-learning lessons. The production of all lessons as completed, and all lessons already went live for employees to learn the production technology through those videos at their own pace and for key knowledge and technologies to be retained and passed down through digitization.

Training is implemented based on the operational strategies and talents deployment in correspondence to the organizational structure and vision. A comprehensive training roadmap is established based on the competence development needs. Courses are planned by job grade. Apart from planning required courses for professional training, quality control, and management, each year different training programs are offered in response to the future development strategies. In 2023 we included corporate sustainability as a required core course in the management and professional training modules to enhance the ESG concept of employees and develop a total consensus. By combining complete education and training plan with performance and development, we provide employees with opportunities for promotion and job rotation so as to develop all-round talents.

The total hours of training in 2023 of all employees were 11,666 hours, which were 1,621 hours more than that of 2022. The average hours of training per employee were 24.56 hours, which were 2.19 hours more than that of 2022. As the impact of COVID-19 was over in 2023, the training courses for different jobs were offered according to the annual training plan. The amelioration of the e-learning course system also resolved the course shortage problem. Fine-tuning of the description of training hours:
Additionally, the average hours of education and training for male base-level officers, specialists, and direct labor were higher than that of the female in 2023 because the more male employees from training units participated in internal and external training courses.

To verify the training efficacy, we have set the post-training evaluation indicators for each lesson and set the evaluation levels based on the course planning with reference to the Kirkpatrick Model. For example, employees must pass the L2 evaluation for professional courses, the L3 evaluation for 8D improvement procedures or license courses, and the L4 evaluation for process organization courses.

In 2023 the average course satisfaction was 4.62 marks. Professional courses covered manufacturing process courses, quality control courses, ESH courses, and business knowledge sharing courses, with a total of 131 lessons. All trainees completed the post-training tests or submitted the training report. A total of 99.22% of employees receiving external training, such as the ESH license courses and quality management courses, passed the certification and received the respective certificates or licenses. We will continue to verify that employees practice the acquired knowledge and skills in work through training efficacy evaluation so as to make continual improvement of the training program.
