Employee Well-being

The work-life balance for employees is most important to D-Link, and taking care of each employee has been our on-going commitment. We hold workplace safety and health seminars from time to time, offer regular medical examinations to monitor employees’ health, and on-site nursing staff to provide the latest health information. A fully-equipped gym with shower facilities in our office building are also free to employees for usage.

Freedom of Association

D-Link respects every employee’s right to freedom of association and the right to form a union according to law. To establish a friendly and smooth communication channel to protect the rights and interests of employees, the Company has set up a labor-management meeting, an employee welfare committee, an employee suggestion box, and an employee complaint channel (general complaints and workplace sexual harassment complaints). Since December 2022, to provide multiple channels for employees to express their ideas and suggestions, the “Appointment with Supervisors” campaign has been arranged, so that the Company can also better understand the opinions of employees, and then reach a consensus through discussions.

Protection for Female Employees

D-Link adheres to all relevant gender equality regulations for female employees. We offer private nursing rooms, maternity leave, flexible working hours (start time 8:00 to 9:30 AM, end time 5:00 to 6:30 PM), and paid family leave superior to the regulations to help female employees achieve a healthy work-life balance. 
D-Link avoids gender inequality in recruitment and promotion. The percentage of female employees increased from 41.3% in the end of 2021 to 45.0%, up 3.7%. The percentage of female employees continues to grow every year, with 55.6% of senior executives being female; in the future, we will continue to increase the proportion of female supervisors to female employees to achieve substantive equality.
In 2022, 121 new employees were hired, and in terms of gender ratio distribution, the percentage of female new employees was 2.1% higher than that of male new employees.
In 2022, 163 new employees resigned, and in terms of gender ratio distribution, the percentage of female employees resigned was 6.8% lower than that of male employees resigned.

Labor Standards

D-Link has not experienced any incidents of non-compliance with labor standards resulting in penalties in the year of 2022.
