Performance Review

To help employees enhance professional capability and performance while developing growth and potential, FENC has clearly delineated the protocol for performance review. Benchmarks are established based on employees’ positions as well as performance in corporate sustainability. Indicators considered include energy reduction, promotion of green business, R&D on green products, corporate governance and optimization of human resources. The Company provides a performance-driven bonus system to incentivize employees and senior managers with exceptional performance. With the exception of interns, employees yet to complete the first year of employment or on leave without pay, all permanent employees are subject to performance review. In 2022, performance reviews for 100% of FENC employees have been completed.

Performance Review for Employees

Productivity-linked incentive is issued based on business operation as well as departmental and personal performance. Twenty percent of employees’ monthly salaries come from this incentive system. Indicators for the incentive include productivity milestone, quality, energy and occupational safety, which encourage employees to engage in improving occupational safety; energy and carbon reduction; environmental protection and recycling; production flow, and ultimately help FENC achieve sustainable management.

The performance review for employees is conducted at least once a year and serves as a key reference for salary adjustment, bonus, promotion and dismissal.

Fostering Employee Career Planning

Talents are critical to a corporation’s ability to navigate through capricious waters and towards victory. Therefore, talent cultivation should be strategically thought out with foresight to keep pace with corporate growth. Balancing the macro-organizational and the micro-employee perspectives, talent development should be based on the corporate core values, organizational development and departmental needs. Employee training at FENC is conducted through diverse channels integrated by its E-training management system. In the spirit of continuous refinement and optimization, the Company is on track to complete an omnidirectional training blueprint that will shape it into a holistic learning organization.

In the beginning of each year, discussions are held between employees and their supervisors to establish future training programs. By the middle of the year, employees undergo training, apply the knowledge they acquire and share it through the organizational knowledge sharing team so they can learn from each other. Each stage is calibrated to foster personalized and sophisticated training track. The corporate training system provides specialized training. Starting from day one, employees are assigned mentors to guide them through the available learning resources. Regular orientation camps and the mandatory general training help new recruits get acquainted with the corporate culture and develop their own network. Once they get situated at their posts, professional training begins with an emphasis on occupational safety and health as well as regulatory training on human rights. With time, as they develop the qualifications for the management positions, management training kicks in at various levels to further develop their abilities to embrace future challenges and organizational development.

FENC has been a repeating winner of Talent Quality-management System (TTQS) Silver Medal and People Development Excellence Award from SGS CSR Awards. FENC also received the 5th consecutive People Development Award from Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) in 2022. FENC has established a reputation for the quality and performance in talent development.

Management approaches are project-specific, and the results are evaluated based on the Kirkpatrick Model.
