Division, the Internal Control Team, and trade management

extended to include office workers at the Safe Production and
Engineering Staff Office since 2022. We will continue to expand
flexible work arrangements for employees to maintain a worklife balance while they continue to fully engage in their career
and generate successful outcomes.
To help employees juggle the responsibilities of work and
childrearing, we have expanded our in-house infrastructure to
include breast-feeding/lactation facilities and provide up to
one year of parental leave for employees with a child/children
in grade 2 or below. We also offer a family care vacation of up
to 10 days and a family care leave of up to 90 days per year to
meet the urgent care needs of our employees and their families
arising from illness, accidents or the deteriorating conditions of
aging family members. Employees can also opt to reduce their
work hours to 20 hours per week (4 hours/day) or five hours per
week (1 hour/day, reserved for the caretaking period) to care
for their child and/or family members without taking a leave of
operations, including at the Headquarters, R&D centers and
plants to facilitate the work life of our employees while tending
to their parenthood duties. Aside from governmental subsidies, all
operational expenses of these daycare centers are shouldered by
