The Bank is committed to diversity and equality, placing a strong emphasis on gender equality and development. Among all 6,693 employees, there are 2,384 men and 4,309 women*, representing a gender ratio of about 3.6:6.4. The gender ratio for managerial positions is approximately 4:6, demonstrating that the Bank's talent cultivation and promotion system do not differentiate based on gender. All employees have equal opportunities for training and development. In terms of workforce structure, the Bank aims to have female employees comprise 60% of the total workforce and ensure that no single gender exceeds 70% of the total as part of its workforce management objectives. (Note: Data date: December 31, 2023, not including employees of subsidiaries, coverage 98.43%.)

To safeguard the physical and mental health of pregnant and postpartum employees, the Bank has devised the "Maternal Health Protection Program," which includes assessments of the physical and mental needs of pregnant and postpartum employees, evaluations of workplace risks, hazard controls, appropriate work arrangements, regular follow-ups, and performance evaluations. These initiatives aim to create a female-friendly working environment that protects women's rights and promotes gender equality.

The Bank provides various maternity and childcare leaves, including maternity leave, miscarriage leave, prenatal visit leave, paternity leave, family care leave, unpaid parental leave, flexible working hours, childbirth allowances, and preferential childcare programs. These measures alleviate the burden of family and childcare responsibilities, maintain a balance between family and work, and indirectly encourage childbirth and attract talents. Furthermore, we provide menstrual leave for female employees, demonstrating our commitment to women's physiological health and creating a supportive work environment that enables them to fully engage and realize their potential, thereby promoting equal employment opportunities.

To enhance employee welfare and encourage childbirth, the Bank increased childbirth allowances from September 27, 2023 and subsidize employees with NT$50,000 for the first newborn, NT$80,000 for the second one, and NT$360,000 for the third one and above. In 2023, 123 employees applied for such subsidies, and the actual number of newborns was 130. The total subsidy amount was NT$6.86 million.

To demonstrate our commitment to fostering a corporate culture that promotes safety, dignity, ethical work practices, and non-discrimination, and to prevent workplace misconduct, the Bank hereby declares its " Declaration for the Prevention of Workplace Misconduct of Chang Hwa Bank" to prohibit all forms of workplace misconduct within the workplace. All levels of management personnel should use the "Self-Assessment Form of Misconduct in the Workplace" to self-examine any inappropriate conduct and to exercise their supervisory function in preventing workplace misconduct among colleagues.
