Workplace Diversity and Gender Equality
Employees' loyalty to the company forms the foundation of corporate competitiveness. Our company upholds the principle that employees are valuable assets. By implementing fair and benevolent human resource policies and enhancing welfare systems, we take proper care of our employees. We also attract talented individuals through multiple channels, enabling Capital Futures' employees to create value in their work while maintaining a balance between work and life.
Capital Futures has always been dedicated to creating a family-friendly workplace environment. We secure low-rate group insurance for our employees and their families. In caring for our female colleagues, we align with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's breastfeeding policies and foster a supportive workplace for childcare. To alleviate employees' work stress, we provide subsidies for recreational clubs and offer a cloud learning system. Through these initiatives, we aim to help employees maintain a balanced and fulfilling life in learning, work, and personal well-being.
Our company's policies and regulations are established in accordance with and adhere to labor and related laws, ensuring the protection of all employees' legal rights. Our compensation policy is not lower than the statutory minimum wage, and there is no discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, age, race, or religion. New hires' salaries are determined based on market conditions, education, and experience, and salaries are set according to job responsibilities without gender-based discrepancies. Personnel actions such as employment, transfer, and salary adjustments comply with Article 5 of the Employment Service Act, ensuring no discrimination based on race, class, language, ideology, religion, political affiliation, place of origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, appearance, facial features, or disability. Our main operations are located in Taiwan, and to ensure local employment opportunities, we prioritize hiring local residents. All senior management positions are held by nationals.
Our company conducts regular assessments and reviews of all employees' performance to facilitate their future career planning. We have established the "Employee Performance Evaluation Guidelines." The annual assessment criteria for employees are set according to talent development, retention requirements, and core competencies, with specific evaluation items and weights for each position. Each year, all employees, regardless of gender or employee category (except for those in the probationary period), undergo assessments. This review mechanism aims to promote and reward outstanding employees and provide guidance and additional training for underperforming employees, aligning their career development with the company's mission for mutual growth and prosperity.

Our company is committed to fostering a workplace environment that promotes gender equality and friendliness. We have implemented several concrete measures, as detailed below:
- Establishment of Employee Breastfeeding Rooms
- During pregnancy, employees may apply for a transfer to a more suitable position within their unit that aligns with their abilities.
- Employees raising children under three years old may apply for shift adjustments or reduce their daily working hours by one hour. However, the reduced working hours are not eligible for pay.
- Employees who have been employed for at least six months may apply for parental leave without pay for each child until the child reaches the age of three, with a maximum leave period of two years.
- When employees apply to return to work after parental leave, their unit must not refuse reinstatement, treat the leave as absence, or take any adverse actions such as affecting attendance bonuses, performance appraisals, or imposing other unfavorable treatment.
- Miscarriage Leave: Employees who experience a miscarriage after three months of pregnancy are entitled to four weeks of maternity leave. Those who miscarry after two months but before three months are entitled to one week of maternity leave. For miscarriages within two months of pregnancy, five days of maternity leave are provided. Full pay is granted during these leave periods.
- The company is dedicated to supporting pregnant employees by preparing a special “Mom Care Package” containing practical gifts. This package not only offers blessings for newborns but also helps employees conveniently care for their babies. Additionally, we provide thoughtful safety identification tags for pregnant employees to ensure their workplace safety, fully demonstrating our commitment to employee care and well-being.
- Family Care Leave: To assist employees in caring for their elders and children, the company provides 14 days of family care leave annually.
