Overview of Human Resource Structure
With regards to HTC’s global allocation, hiring and retaining motivated and exceptional employees is a key objective of HTC’s human resources strategy. HTC hires new employees through open selection procedures, with candidates offered positions based on merit. We permit no discrimination based on ethnicity, skin color, social status, language, religion, political affiliation, country / region of origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, appearance, disability, professional association membership or other similar considerations not relevant to job performance. According to HTC global expansion requirement, we recruit elites with diversity around the world via various channels to spread the HTC innovation spirit.
At the end of 2023, HTC global employee workforce totaled 2,079. Of these, 28.17% of the global supervisors were women. In addition, HTC's 2023 turnover rate of direct employee in Taiwan is 10.19%, including manufacturing colleagues and contract employees; The global turnover rate of indirect staff was 9.47%, including general colleagues, interns and contract employees; The voluntary turnover rate for full-time employees worldwide is 9.59%.
