The Employee Satisfaction Survey is on a scale from 1 to 7 (strongly agree) points. Items scored higher than or equal to 4 points (neutral) are counted as employee satisfaction rate.
The Employee Engagement Survey includes questions regarding employees' job satisfaction, sense of identity, loyalty, connection between work contribution and company objectives, and work security. SinoPac Holdings also used questions on the actual work to learn whether employees understand the purpose of their work, whether they can attain work-life balance, and whether they can feel a sense of accomplishment at work. The components of the Organizational Climate Survey includes the organization's expectations for personal work performance (work quality and high expectations) and how employees react to stress.
The coverage rate was calculated based on number of employees assessed within the scope of the survey and the total FTEs in SinoPac Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries, excluding dispatched employees. All employees have been included in the scope of the survey since 2020, and the coverage rate is 100% for all groups.
