Character Education
Everlight Chemical hopes that character education can motivate employees to develop good character and enhance their sense of fulfillment in their work, family and personal lives, making good character a lifelong pursuit. Promotion of character education is based on the Everlight Character First Implementation Measures. Managers at all levels embody the spirit of service and practice servant leadership. They are asked to lead by inspiring team members and lead by example, so that employees can resonate and connect with the Company’s culture and philosophy.

Regular Performance and Career Development Reviews
  • We conduct regular performance reviews for all employees in accordance with our Performance Review Procedures. Performance reviews are conducted in May and November each year, where performance is evaluated against key annual goals and will serve as the basis for future training and promotion.
  • As of the end of 2022, performance reviews for all full-time employees have been completed.
  • At annual performance reviews, managers discuss with employees organizational development and changes, department needs, and new task requirements to help employees improve work quality and acquire the necessary knowledge, mindset and skills.
  • In 2022, we also introduced the Individual Development Plan (IDP) program incorporating the Managerial Assessment of Proficiency (MAP) tool to enhance employee competence and strengthen organizational robustness, which will further enhance the Company’s competitiveness.
