Talent Cultivation and Development

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.

Mid-to-Senior Management Training in Business Operations
  •   Sandbox Simulation and Financial Acumen Training

Compal is actively pursuing diversification. To help our mid-to-senior managers overcome management blind spots and conventional thinking when facing challenges in new fields, technologies, and market changes, we hosted four sessions of the Business Operations & Sandbox Strategy course in 2024. Through simulated business operations, this program cultivated managers' financial thinking and gave them a holistic perspective of what it takes to be a successful leader. Concurrently, we arranged four sessions of the Financial Acumen Workshop to strengthen managers' capabilities in financial statement analysis and resource allocation. Through these training programs, we continuously empower our mid-to-senior managers enable them to respond more flexibly to market changes, formulate more forward-looking strategies, facilitate organizational innovation, and ensure the Company maintains its competitive edge.

  • Coaching-style leadership training: To help mid-to-senior managers build high-performance teams, we reinforce their leadership thinking, coaching knowledge, skills, and techniques. This training incorporates practical case studies for in-depth discussion, allowing managers to examine departmental strategies for talent selection, development, utilization, and retention. Guided by external consultants and peer interaction, managers learned to lead their teams more effectively. Beyond in-class learning, a structured learning journey is planned post-course to ensure practical application and encourage greater engagement in leadership roles.

 

  • Accountable team execution: Compal launched a series of accountability-themed courses to establish a common accountability mindset and language among front-line managers. In this way, managers can set a positive example for team members, work together to accomplish key departmental and company results ,and enforce accountability management at Compal.
To ensure the effectiveness of talent development, Compal designed learning journeys lasting three months to half a year, which incorporated diverse learning resources to help managers effectively apply what they have learned.

Common Program

DEI Improvement Program

 At Compal, we believe in giving everyone the same opportunities and strive to create a diverse, friendly workplace in order to recruit the best talent. We will begin by creating a diversity, equity, and nclusion environment, starting with ourselves.

Transition Program for Retiring and Departing Employees

Compal places great importance on supporting employees throughout all stages of their career journey. For those facing resignation, retirement, or career transitions, the company continues to provide comprehensive transition support programs to help employees navigate changes smoothly, while sustaining their career value and quality of life. We actively promote initiatives in the following three areas:

 

  •  Pre-retirement Planning and Support

To help employees effectively plan for life after retirement, Compal provides a legally compliant pension system and offers a range of pre-retirement support services aimed at equipping employees with essential knowledge for retirement readiness. In 2025, two seminars on “Pre-retirement Planning”were held, featuring financial  experts from professional  banking institutions who shared

 insights on topics such as cash flow planning before and after retirement, asset succession, and risk management in retirement. The seminars reached a total of 328 participants, with an average satisfaction score of 9.23 out of 10. To further enhance personalized support, one-on-one consultation services were also provided by financial experts to help employees analyze their individual situations. Compal will continue to develop relevant resources to ensure every employee receives proper care and guidance during the final stage of their career journey. 

 

  • Internal Talent Mobility Program

To provide stable support throughout different stages of employees’ career development, Compal has implemented an Internal Talent Mobility Program. When internal job vacancies arise, they are publicly posted on the internal platform, giving employees the opportunity to apply proactively. HR assists in resume matching and interview arrangements. If both the employee and the hiring department agree, the transfer process will begin, accompanied by a post-transfer work plan and follow-up support.
In addition, for employees enrolled in a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), HR also assists in evaluating suitable positions and arranging internal transfers. This approach helps avoid a single-path resignation outcome, supporting employees in transitioning to appropriate roles and continuing their career development.

 

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to Support Career Transitions

To ensure employees receive adequate support and resources when facing career transitions, resignations, or retirement, Compal introduced the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in 2019. In collaboration with external professional counseling teams, the program provides services such as psychological counseling, career planning (including resignation and retirement), and retirement financial consultations. Employees can apply for these services based on their individual needs, helping reduce stress and uncertainty during transitional periods.

 

Digital Skills Training

  •  Mid-to-Senior Management – AI Literacy Consensus Camp

 To enhance our management team's digital leadership, Compal specifically hosted an “AI Literacy Consensus Camp”. The CEO and mid-to-senior managers from both domestic and overseas facilities participated to deepen their understanding and application of AI. This event brought together industry experts to analyze the latest AI trends and simultaneously keep abreast of relevant regulatory compliance points, while ensuring that the Company's AI applications are both innovative and responsible. Furthermore, through sharing corporate practical cases and analyzing AI project implementation, the program helped the management team stay updated on key aspects of digital transformation, thus laying a solid foundation for Compal's future AI development and further promoting company-wide digital transformation. This course involved 219 persons-time for 1,533 training hours, with a course satisfaction of 9.18 out of 10.

 

  • All employees - AI-related skill improvement training

In 2024, facing the rapid changes of the digital era, Compal actively enhanced all employees’ digital capabilities. Through diverse learning channels, every employee can master key digital skills. In 2024, we offered five online learning courses, covering core topics, such as AI fundamental concepts, sustainable development, digital transformation, and smart manufacturing, allowing employees to learn independently anytime and anywhere. In addition, through five seminars, we invited industry experts to analyze the latest technology trends, along with practical case studies, to help employees integrate digital thinking into their daily work. These training programs not only improved employees' digital literacy but also fostered inter-departmental collaboration and innovation. In 2024, digital skills-related training involved 4,378 persons-time for 8,278 training hours. Looking ahead to 2025, we will continue to invest more resources in digital skills training to ensure every employee remains competitive in the digital era and grows with the Company.

 

Promotion Credit System

To ensure that every Compal employee possesses the knowledge and skills required for their role when they are appointed to a new management position, hierarchical learning courses were developed for different competencies. By enhancing the employee’s character and ability, we can satisfy the needs of organizational development and maximize training perform through more effective use of training resources. The skill requirements for each position are clearly defined. Open and transparent mechanisms for continuing education have been drawn up to align employees’ growth with performance targets and business development.

 

Establishing a common Compal lexicon from top-down promotion of training system

Between 2017 and 2024, 30,639 persons-time have been trained for a total of 210,680 hours. Compal will continue to implement this program in the future to cultivate sustainable talent development. The promotion credit system is an initiative that has been running for more than seven years so far. Through the program, every employee making the transition from individual worker to manager receives practical and realistic training from the Company to improve their sustainable employability. In 2024, 30.5% of all employees improved the skills required for their new position through the promotion credit system. The system also played a part in the promotion of 39.1% employees. It now continues to construct a positive feedback loop between the promotion of Compal’s business development and corporate culture. The goal is to establish a common language for our talent pool.

 
Potential Talent Assessment and Individual Development Plan (IDP)

The Compal Individual Development (IDP) is a personalized development plan based on the Compal Core Model supplemented by professional assessment tools. An objective and systematic mechanism is used to identify key talents (including potential talent, junior/middle management).

To cultivate and establish a pool of quality talent in a more comprehensive manner, two-way communication and discussions with key talent and their direct supervisors are conducted to co-develop key development targets for the year. Different development methods are utilized (including: training courses, regular one-to-one interviews, long-term coaching, or task assignments) and auxiliary systems used to conduct follow-ups and reviews of development outcomes and plan progress each year (mid-year and end-of-year). A positive feedback mechanism is encouraged and enforced. Through this year-long program, potential talent and managers under development can hone their own strengths or target areas, demonstrate the key behaviors sought by the Company, and ultimately produce changes in behavior. In response to talent requirements of long-term organizational development, supervisors may also increase the IDP planning and review frequency for general employees, and adjust the development plan as necessary. Sustained development planning and skills cultivation will contribute to the overall talent pool at Compal.

A total of 3,258 employees took part in this program in 2024. The retention rate of participating employees reached 94.7% as well. The program is therefore conducive to the continued forging of quality talent, building of key knowledge, and improving of overall competitiveness at Compal.

Compliance of Code of Conduct

Establishing a system of rewards and penalties for employees’ compliance with the code of conduct, including incorporating it into employee performance appraisal systems, and linking it to their compensation. If an employee violates the company's code of conduct, verified violations will result in disciplinary action, and in severe cases, termination of their employment contract.

 

New Employee Training Program

We hope that new hires can adapt to their new role and master the required skills and concepts as quickly as possible so they immediately undergo a series of new hire training courses once they join the Company. The mentor system also provides one-to-one training to help new hires adapt to the Compal culture and shorten the learning curve. New hires are offered a new hire support survey one month after they start work to ensure timely assistance if necessary.

Diverse Evaluation Modes

Employee Reskilling and Transition Support

To meet the challenges of AI-driven transformation and the global shift toward net-zero, employees must develop the necessary capabilities. We have launched a series of practical courses covering AI applications, agile transformation, digital governance, cybersecurity, and data visualization—including Power BI, generative AI in office tools, and AI use cases in healthcare, telecom, manufacturing, and ESG. These programs help employees strengthen decision-making, improve human-AI collaboration, and support digital innovation.

As climate and sustainability demands accelerate, Compal recognizes that roles like manufacturing, design, procurement, and quality must gain carbon and sustainability skills. Through our “Product Carbon Footprint Training Program,” employees are equipped with expertise in carbon accounting, life cycle assessment, and ISO 14067 reporting—building cross-functional capability and ensuring no one is left behind in the transition.
