Employees are brought closer with diversified community activities.
WT has seven major clubs. They offer exclusive courses and activities for their members, as well as a wide range of activities with different themes, large and small, for all employees to join. A variety of public interest activities are organized to advocate environmental protection and social care, during which employees may relax and have fun through meaningful club activities, and build family and parent-child relations. The club general assembly held at the beginning of each year allow new employees to know and choose their favorite clubs to join. The company makes continuous efforts to seek breakthroughs and set up more different types of clubs for a diversified all-round development, so that employees may enjoy hobbies and physical and mental relaxation after work.
Club activities are actively promoted to foster chemistry between colleagues.
Annual WT Cup badminton and basketball games were held to promote health and sports.
Annual WT Cup badminton and basketball games were organized to enhance communication and entertainment among employees through competitions. The company provides prize money, trophies, medals and a fully-equipped venue, so that employees can experience the atmosphere of a formal competition. Customers and manufacturers are widely invited to team up and participate in the games, so as to build friendship in the court or field, enhance interaction, letting go of work pressure, and share pure enthusiasm for sports. In order to promote ball games, WT Cup Friendship Games are planned to be held in 2023. The match format and scale will be adjusted and partner companies invited to form teams for round-robin matches. WT values and promotes health and sports to a broader extent.
Marathon Club: Challenging self limits
The club participated in five marathon competitions in 2022, including Sanchong National Marathon, Alishan Cloud Road Run, New Taipei City Railway Marathon Relay, Far East New Century Classic Marathon, and Suhua Marathon Road Race. The club has two boss-level runners. The club president Chang Jiajun won the seventh place in the Soochow International Ultra-marathon 2022, and the club member Lu Shimiao, ranked 86th among the top 100 women Marathon runners in Taiwan, won the championship in the Sanchong National Marathon in District.
Many employees who have long been fond of road running often participate in large and small competitions, encourage each other to finish the competition, and exchange health care and sports information with each other. It is their enthusiasm after work. The company also provides subsidies and publicity to invite more employees to participate, in hope to make sports-loving one of its key elements and a part of WT spirits.
Physical and mental health of employees are cared for with flower arrangements and low-carbon diet cooking
The flower arrangement club holds flower arrangement courses from time to time. The extensive courses provide a variety of plant knowledge, and increase the awareness of the crucial role of green plants in slowing down global warming and effectively improving the green atmosphere in the office. Green life is contributed by practices in all aspects. When employees brought their own pots to redecorate, they did not only give the pots a new chance, but also put the concept of recycling and reuse into practice. On the occasion of Thanksgiving, a pressed flower plate making session was organized from the perspective of “food”. Through plate making, gratitude and respect were expressed for the food and everyone of us who have worked so hard for it. Not wasting food is an act of conservation, as it eventually reduces carbon emissions. The Cooking Club has a series of courses centered around the theme of eating vegetables for better health. With healthy low-carbon diet as the main orientation, it advocates healthy diet among employees. The employees are taught to select seasonal and local ingredients, get a variety of whole food whenever possible, and purchase and eat in moderation without wasting, as keeping a healthy low-carbon diet contribute to the protection of earth as well as the health of the employees and their own families.
Weekly Fruit Day is offered for employees’ health and diet in partnership with small farmers.
Selected fresh delicious drinks without safety concerns are provided. Coffees are prepared with top Swiss automatic coffee machines using carefully selected quality coffee beans that have passed SGS toxin tests. Tea drinks are brewed from organic tea from a non-toxic natural farming plantation in Ruisui, Hualien. High-quality fresh milk drinks certified with FSSC 22000 Food Safety Management System are strictly checked for impurities and expiration date upon arrival to ensure that employees enjoy the safest and healthiest fresh milk.
WT is committed to advocating the importance of balanced meals and breakfast. Breakfast bar events were organized to provide a variety of healthy and balanced meals. With the concept of “eat less meat and more vegetables; reduce carbon and increase health”, plant-based diet activities were held to promote low carbon diet and serve the purpose of energy saving, carbon reduction, health enhancement, and physical burden alleviation. This year, an elaborate breakfast bar was arranged for Christmas. While senior executives dressed in Santa Claus served meals, employees enjoyed a delicious breakfast and received Christmas gifts, making it an unforgettable Christmas with a double surprise.
On the weekly Fruit Day, healthy and safe fresh fruits from our small long-term partner farmers in central Taiwan are offered to the employees. The direct fruit procurement from the place of origin improve the farmers’ income, so that they can focus on growing healthier and more delicious fruits, reduce the use of pesticides and allow the land rest. Direct delivery from the place of origin also reduces food carbon footprint.
While the fruits are distributed, their grower’s story is told and words shared. The transparent production and marketing creates an emotional bond between employees and the fruits in their hands. In 2022, a total of 16.13 metric tons of fresh fruit were purchased. From the launch of Fruit Day to the end of 2022, a total of 74.18 metric tons of fruit have been purchased to benefit 20 fruit farmers.
Mutual benefits are reached from the partnership with 20 fruit farmers.
