To promote occupational illness prevention and health enhancement, Yuanta (FHC) and its subsidiaries ensure that the workplace can become a healthy workplace with peace of mind and nurture physically and mentally healthy employees. We implement a workplace health management program based on the public health three-stage, five-level concept and integrate the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion strategy to advocate workplace health promotion programs and provide a systematic and cyclical employee health protection plan on an ongoing basis.

The measures for workplace health management and occupational illness prevention are summarized as follows:：

1. Yuanta FHC and its subsidiaries provide better routine health checkups for managerial staff and employees than the legal requirement and arrange for annual health checkups at National Taiwan University Hospital for managerial staff, health examination of specific items for employees working at night for long period, and health examination for all colleagues every two years. We also offer health examination report consultation service after the health examination, take the initiative to care about the health condition of colleagues, and actively notify those who need to go back to the hospital for follow-up and re-examination.
2. Workload ailment prevention: We integrate the analysis of annual health checkup results and abnormal workload risk identification assessment questionnaires for risk classification management, and then implement preventive measures and case management accordingly.
3. Ergonomic risk prevention: We conduct assessment based on Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, organize musculoskeletal problem prevention courses, and provide advice to improve the working environment and habits in cooperation with the on-site clinical service physicians.
4. Maternal health protection: We conduct comprehensive environmental risk assessment. The maternal health assessment questionnaire is completed when a colleague is known to be pregnant, which is followed by an assessment to identify if the current work environment and content have any impact on maternal health with the aim to ensure workplace safety and health for pregnant and maternity colleagues.
5. Work fitness management for middle-aged and senior citizens: Registered nurses conduct case management based on employees’ personal health risks and workplace risk assessments, and regularly arrange on-site consultations with labor health service physicians to track medium- and high-risk colleagues, creating a supportive environment and effectively enhancing personal health skills.
6. Prevention of unlawful harm in the performance of duties: We regularly conduct annual workplace hazard identification and risk assessment analysis, and hold regular seminars and activities to strengthen colleagues’ ability to cope with and reduce operational risks, and improve workplace operational safety.
7. Key points for the implementation of operating environment measurement: In compliance with occupational safety and health regulations, we regularly conduct annual workplace environmental monitoring, hazard identification, and risk assessment analysis, and formulate relevant improvement plans to minimize the risks of our colleagues’ operations and improve workplace safety, and have been awarded the “Autonomous Air Quality Label.”

Yuanta Group is a financial services provider that relies heavily on human capital. In order to properly manage and maintain a high-quality workforce, in addition to regular education and training in accordance with the law, we also emphasize on education courses on occupational mental health, organizational communication, and interpersonal interaction. We are also focusing on the issues of workplace motherhood and health protection for middle-aged and senior workers, and have strengthened internal publicity to effectively respond to the related workplace health risks and hazards.

For general colleagues, we conduct annual occupational safety and health education and training for new and current employees, as well as online and physical training courses on the four major occupational safety and health prevention programs, and regularly conduct disaster prevention drills, in compliance with the local regulations.

For colleagues in positions such as occupational safety and health managers, fire management personnel, security personnel, and first-aid personnel, training courses in occupational safety management, fire management, emergency first aid, and disaster prevention and earthquake drills are held every year to reduce the risk of occupational accidents, aiming to provide employees with a safe, healthy, and clean workplace.

Yuanta FHC and its subsidiaries regularly analyze the proportion of abnormalities, screen out high-risk groups, and conduct actual interviews based on the average age of employees and their workplace sedentary lifestyles through a variety of methods, such as health checkups, physical and mental health questionnaires, surveys on the concept of a healthy diet, surveys on the amount of daily activity, and surveys on needs and expectations, in order to design annual activities and health education information on health promotion.

Yuanta FHC and its subsidiaries in accordance with regulations provide on-site health consultation services by medical professionals. In addition to using the services offered by occupational safety and health managers, specialized registered nurses, and contracted specialized physicians, in response to the fact that the international community has been severely affected by infectious diseases in recent years, we have implemented the “Workplace Care Program for Recovered Infectious Disease Victims” internally in accordance with domestic public health policies, and have hired additional contracted Chinese medicine practitioners, family medicine practitioners, dietitians, psychologists, and physical therapists, to offer infected disease victims with one-on-one health guidance, and to proactively take care of colleagues who have resumed work after an infectious disease to alleviate their physical and mental symptoms, thus giving full play to the benefits of occupational health.

Yuanta FHC and its subsidiaries regularly provide “on-site services by statutory healthcare personnel” in accordance with the law, and strengthen the healthcare service channels for communication with employees by cultivating regional branches and offer one-on-one professional healthcare consultation and guidance. We also regularly hold “Appointment with Health” to arrange for colleagues free measurement of blood oxygen, blood pressure, weight, body fat, and other data, and provide personal daily health care advice through a registered nurse who synthesizes the common diseases in Taiwan and the top ten abnormalities in the employee health checkups, to promote preventive medicine and disease prevention and treatment, and to enhance the health awareness of colleagues, in order to achieve the purpose of health promotion in the workplace.

In addition, we have been cooperating with external organizations for a long time, actively integrating internal and external resources, and organizing the workplace health promotion activities of “Protecting Health ∞ Caring Sustainably” in the workplace. The combination of technology-based physical fitness, physical fitness counseling, personal nutrition counseling, psychological card counseling, metabolic syndrome and cancer screening, and other diversified services to cultivate a healthy workplace atmosphere, also demonstrates Yuanta FHC’s dedication to occupational health, employee care, and corporate sustainability.

In addition to helping our colleagues master their physical conditions, we also focus on mental health issues. We have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a digital platform on our employee portal that consolidates the services provided by government agencies and nonprofit organizations, which builds an integrated service interface with five major themes, including “psychological counseling,” “legal counseling,” “medical prevention and treatment,” “care/other counseling,” and “self-assessment,” to guide colleagues to quickly find the information they need. We have further collaborated with non-profit professional psychological counseling organizations to introduce free counseling lines and one-on-one counseling sessions with psychologists to provide assistance on a variety of issues, including family, emotional, interpersonal, and legal aspects. With the help of professional staff, we are able to identify the root cause of the problem, which will help our colleagues to improve their problem solving skills.

In response to the aging of the community and workplace population, and in response to the “Dementia Action Plan” promoted by the Department of Health of the Taipei City Government and the Health Promotion Administration of Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the interactive action care with the community network, Yuanta FHC has established a dementia-friendly community, arranging for the nation’s business locations to participate in dementia-friendly public awareness education and training in phases, with the completion rate of training reaching 100%, and has been certified by dementia-friendly organizations.
