Smart Office and People-centric Technology

Protect the Environment by Eschewing Paper
Environmentally friendly, healthy, and eye-safe ePaper is used extensively throughout our office environments. These include ePaper posters, ePaper signs, and reception information cards. Even the nameplates on office desks, employee ID badges, employee parking permits, and the office Christmas tree are made from ePaper.

High-Tech Epidemic Protection to Keep Employees Safe
A three-pronged strategy based around “advanced deployment, concentric circles of epidemic prevention, and E Ink Care You” was developed. The advanced deployment included: Adjustment of personnel management and office seating, monitoring of domestic/foreign COVID-19 developments, the establishment of a real-time messaging network for all departments, and internal contact tracing survey; Concentric circles of epidemic prevention: 4 levels of epidemic transmission were simulated as concentric circles to ensure that all necessary planning and preparations were in place; E Ink Care You issued each employee with one mask weekly and set up backup work from home plans. All of these measures helped ensure that there were 0 cases of COVID-19 among employees in Taiwan!

Ergonomic and Friendly Working Environment
E Ink created an ergonomic and friendly working environment. The office building was renovated to offer new, well-lit office spaces; women-friendly spaces: Female employees (including pregnant employees) were provided with guaranteed parking spaces, separate breastfeeding rooms, childbirth grants, and new mother packs; compensation that exceeds industry standards: According to publicly available information on the TWSE, our average employee salary in 2019 was ranked 4th among listed opto-electronic companies at NT$1,186,000. This was higher than the industry average of NT$806,000 and higher than the average salary of NT$818,000 reported for listed opto-electronic companies.

Intelligent Learning and Diversified Development

e-Training and Continuous Learning
E Ink continues to promote learning and self-growth among employees. Since E Ink University was established in 2019, the proportion of online courses has increased from 40% (2019) to 90% (2020). Online learning offers a variety of benefits, including paperlessness, flexibility in learning hours, and immunity to COVID-19 restrictions. During 2020, more than 12,115 internal training hours were conducted by E Ink.

Professional Training Blueprint to Strengthen Professional Skills
Basic and advanced professional courses were developed to provide each role with a tailored blueprint for training. An extensive range of professional learning resources helped inspire creativity while also boosting the technical competitiveness of the whole company; a total of 212 courses were conducted in 2020, with over 9,250 hours of training provided to 9,588 people.

Sharing of Global Learning Resources and Potential Development
In 2020 E Ink University Global was established to develop and promote basic courses common to different sites. All global locations can share the learning and training resources from each site as well. Current courses included electronic film technology, Python, and cross-cultural communications. Over 2,854 hours of training were provided to 1,163 people. At the same time, employees with development potential are selected to participate in the Stanford LEAD online learning program. Those who participated in this program find it very helpful by expanding and cultivating international perspectives and corporate strategic thinking.
