      a. Assign projects to successors to enhance experience.
      b. Job rotations to help succession candidates broaden perspectives  on company operations, quickly identify problems, improve stress tolerance, perform resource allocation, and develop decision makinig skills.  

    Management by Objectives (MBO)

    Since 1992, D-Link has implemented the concept of “Management by Objectives” to systematically integrate our vision, strategic objectives, and employee performance goals to align with the evolving needs of the organization. Through initial goal settings, mid-term evaluations, and final assessments we can ensure effective upward and downward communication throughout the organization, as well as assist in the development and utilization of human resources for managerial and non-managerial staff.

    The combined assessment results of the company’s operational performance and the employee performance management systems will have a direct impact on annual employee promotions and compensations, ensuring opportunities for employees and the organization to grow as one. All employees (except contract employees and employees who have been on leave without pay and reinstated for less than three months) are required to participate in regular performance and career development reviews upon completion of their three-month probationary period.
