Talent Cultivation

Compal's talent cultivation and development has been established to support the Company's overall strategies, talent plans, organization structure, and corporate vision. Development focus and tasks are defined for organizational and departmental goals. The requirements of competency development shape the construction of a comprehensive learning/development system and roadmap that provides employees with a rich and varied selection of learning channels. An individual development plan is also provided to employees. Cross-evaluation of performance indicators and potential assessment indicators is used to select key talent. We also strive to cultivate the self-learning ability of employees to prepare them for a technology industry where rapid change and reforms are the only constants. A Compal academic credit system was also implemented for managing the learning performance of all managers. We are continuing to foster a learning organization to open up career prospects and a better future for Compal employees.

Compal began thinking about what workplace skills employees need in response to our rapid global development and organizational staffing requirements so that we can keep pace with change. A rich range of competency courses were therefore developed to prepare workers in advance, strengthen and cultivate the abilities and qualities we need, and compensate for existing weaknesses in learning. In total, more than NT$30 million was invested towards the cultivation of talent across the world during 2023. Total training hours also reached 2.15 million hours. The human capital return on investment rate (ROI) for Compal was 2.18 in 2023.
