Friendly Workplace
Our goal is to be a happy enterprise that provides a safe workplace for our employees. We are committed to building a transparent and open corporate culture that emphasizes mutual trust and communication, that provides competitive salaries and benefits, complete education and training, and a safe and comfortable workplace that will make talented individuals want to stay with the company. Getac took substantive action to look after our employees and promote a positive feedback cycle of health. In addition, with the best employer awards from around the world and certification as a Healthy Workplace by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Getac was also recognized as a sports enterprise by the MOE Sports Administration in 2020. Getac is actively building a safe, healthy, happy, and vibrant workplace. We hope that every employee finds a healthy balance between work and life through their contributions.
Promotion of a Gender-Equal Workplace
Inviting More Outstanding Professional Women to Share Their Workplace Stories
To create a diverse and inclusive workplace in a traditionally male-dominated tech industry, Getac encourages women to pursue their career goals, unleash their talents, and make a difference.
We also realize that many professional women, beyond equal pay and benefits, also need role models to overcome the intangible constraints they face at work. Outstanding women are often forced to make important career choices on their own due to an entirely different set of pressures and expectations from men, yet have no role models to draw upon from their own life experience. We believe that more women can be inspired to break down the barriers and reach new heights if we can provide them with more success stories. The #SheShowsTheWay event was therefore held for 2020 International Women’s Day to share the growth experiences of Getac employees. We hoped that their stories will encourage more female employees and women interested in the tech industry to follow their dream.
Certification of a Healthy Workplace & Sports Enterprise
Adults spend one-third of their time at their workplace. Health and vigor are the key prerequisites for employee drive and morale. Getac takes concrete steps to care for employees and create a healthy workplace culture. In 2020, in addition to the healthy workplace certification awarded by the Health Promotion Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, it has also been awarded the Sports Enterprise Certification by the Sports Administration of the Ministry of Education. Getac has developed a complete health strategy to build a healthy workplace culture involving data monitoring (regular health exams to obtain an accurate picture of employee health), follow-up education (improve health awareness among employees), cultivation of sports (promoting the habit of exercise) and cultivating a sense of accomplishment (participation in internal and external sporting competitions to build a sense of accomplishment in sports). At Getac, employees are encouraged to “embrace the challenge.” Healthy bodies are essential to better living.
