To conform to the essence of the “gender equality” in the Employment Act, the Company has outlined “Regulations Governing Anti-discrimination and Anti-harassment” and established a “Complaint Investigation Committee” that specializes in the handling of employee complaints about work-related discrimination and improper behavior. The investigation committee has five members, three of whom are female. Our effective control has resulted in no incident of discrimination being reported in 2020. Training Courses are provided to employees, and occasional promotion lectures during business meeting and during new employee onbroading are also held to raise awareness to the issue in the workplace.

Chunghwa Telecom now applies “Employees Performance Evaluation Guidelines” which are utilized in the evaluation of employee performance to develop the corporate culture where employees, customers, shareholders, and the Company will all be winners. Supervision will be provided for underperforming employees who will be guided until the appropriate improvement has been made and they are back on track.
Chunghwa Telecom conducts performance appraisal at three different levels: entry-level staff, entry and mid-level managers, and senior managers. Performance appraisal involves a series of face-to-face discussions between employees and line managers at the beginning of a year to set personal goals, and also at mid-year and years end to evaluate the degree of employee contribution to Company performance. During these sessions, managers also discuss career plans and suggest courses relevant to the future career of each employee. Performance bonuses and employee remuneration are tied to performance.

We have a “Compensation Committee” in place to ensure that compensation for the best talent is competitive. In addition, the Company has a transparent system for sharing business performance with its employees. Compensation for executive management has been standardized and details are disclosed publicly in the annual reports. The Company offers equal compensation for all entry-level employees of the same grade. Those who possess relevant skills and work experience may have compensation evaluated based on educational background, career experience, expertise, and professional qualifications. Under no circumstances will compensation ever be determined by gender or racial differences. The median employee compensation of all employees (except for CEO) is NT$ 1,299 thousand in 2020, while the mean employee compensation of all employees (except for CEO) is NT$ 1,270 thousand in 2020.
