Physical and Mental Health
According to health definition of World Health Organization (WHO): health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. In addition to the physical aspect, attention and care should also be given to related psychological and interpersonal issues in order to achieve true Whole-person wellness. We expect employees to achieve a balance between work, health, and life in the workplace through various measures. Starting in 2016, we applied for and obtained certification from the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare for a healthy workplace every two years, and received the Health Promotion Mark.
Integration of Health Resources, Assistance to Work Adaptation
Formosa Laboratories plans to collaborate with management consulting company or counseling center in 2023. This measure assists corporate and employees in resolving issues related to work adaptation, organizational relationships, and potential emotional stress they may encounter. Meanwhile, EAPs (Employee Assistance Programs) will be introduced, installing new wellness center by the integration of internal and external professionalized service resources to help employees solve problems affecting their work performance due to health, family, legal, and mental issues.

Encourage Smoking Cessation, Reduce the Risk of Disease
Smoking increases the risk of developing diseases such as heart disease and cancer. In order to promote the health of our employees, we held smoking cessation activities and lectures in 2020 to encourage colleagues to quit smoking. In 2021, we awarded employees who have quit smoking for one year to recognize their determination and encourage them to continue maintaining a smoke-free lifestyle.
Hold a smoking cessation seminar, where the speaker and colleagues share the preparation of the smoking cessation lecturer.
Healthy Fat Loss, Enjoy a Slim Life.
Obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. In response to the health issues of employees, the Company held a health promotion event called "Enjoy a Slim Life" in 2021. It encouraged colleagues to record their weight and body fat regularly to monitor their progress, and participate in running events to increase physical activity. By establishing good dietary and exercise habits, employees not only achieve a healthy physique, enhanced physical fitness, and vitality but also reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
