As of the end of 2025, Chicony Electronics had a global workforce of 17,785 employees (including full-time and part-time employees), representing an increase of 356 employees compared with the end of 2024, reflecting steady organizational growth. Female employees accounted for approximately 59.1% of the total workforce, continuing to rise from 56.63% in 2024. Across global operating sites, manufacturing facilities generally have a higher proportion of female workers due to the nature of production line operations. In contrast, the Taipei Headquarters is primarily composed of R&D talent and managerial decision-making functions, resulting in a relatively higher proportion of male employees, which is consistent with the characteristics of the electronics manufacturing industry.

In terms of age distribution, employees under the age of 30 accounted for approximately 49.0%, mainly reflecting the expansion of the CET, which brought in a large number of young and mid-career manufacturing workers. Employees aged 30 to 50 remained the core talent base at approximately 47.4%, providing critical decision-making support and knowledge transfer, and serving as the backbone of our sustainable transformation.

At the Taipei Headquarters, employees aged 50 and above accounted for 29.97%, demonstrating the Company’s strong commitment to experienced and senior talent.

To promote workplace diversity and inclusion, Chicony continued to actively advance the employment of persons with disabilities in 2025. The global number of employees with disabilities reached 192, representing 1.08% of the total workforce, slightly increasing from 1.07% in 2024, demonstrating our long-term commitment to an inclusive workplace.

2025 Employees' Nationalities

Chicony Electronics has established a systematic and diversified talent recruitment mechanism, continuously optimizing the talent attraction and selection processes across its global operating sites. In terms of recruitment strategy, we continue to deepen industry–academia collaboration.
In 2025, Chicony further expanded its digital recruitment presence by introducing the LinkedIn international talent platform, broadening access to high-quality overseas talent and strengthening our brand visibility in the global talent market. At the same time, the recruitment section on our ESG website has been enhanced. All recruitment activities strictly comply with local labor regulations at each operating location and are guided by the principle of equal opportunity, with any form of employment discrimination strictly prohibited.

Reviewing the past two years (2024–2025), the manufacturing industry generally faced challenges related to employee turnover and labor shortages due to global supply chain restructuring and changes in labor market dynamics. Nevertheless, our overall global employee turnover rate in 2025 was 125.23%, representing a significant decrease of more than 40% compared with 169.27% in 2024, demonstrating the growing effectiveness of our talent management strategies.

The Taiwan operations maintained employee turnover rates below 9% for two consecutive years (7.77% in 2024 and 8.89% in 2025), reflecting a highly healthy level of workforce mobility. In contrast, the turnover rate at the CET increased significantly from 49.38% to 125.83%. This was primarily driven by international customers’ “China Plus One” supply chain strategy requirements.

During the year, two new business units were successively established in Thailand to undertake orders from new customer groups, resulting in rapid large-scale workforce expansion within a short period. As employee training and onboarding processes were unable to scale at the same pace, turnover rates during the initial stage were notably elevated. In addition, global electronics manufacturers and supplier activity continued to move into Thailand to establish factories, and the external pull on talent could not be ignored.

The distribution of employee turnover over the past two consecutive years was primarily concentrated among younger employees under the age of 30, accounting for approximately 58% in 2025. This trend also reflects the younger generation’s stronger preference for greater flexibility in career development.

To cultivate high-potential talent, Chicony Electronics actively promotes industry–academia collaboration through its “Industry-Academia Training Program” in partnership with the Department of Electronic Engineering at National Taipei University of Technology. Chicony regularly conducts campus recruitment to select outstanding interns and provides them with challenging job assignments, aiming to enable interns to deepen their professional technical capabilities during the internship period. Interns are also given the opportunity to learn the professional skills and knowledge of full-time R&D personnel, gain a comprehensive understanding of Chicony’s corporate culture and working environment, and thereby serve as a talent pipeline for future potential employees.
The Taipei University of Technology Industry‒Academia Collaboration Training Program has been jointly carried out by the Workforce Development Agency of the Ministry of Labor, technical universities/colleges, and cooperative enterprises. It integrates diverse learning modes, including academic education (from freshman to senior year), skills training and certification by the Ministry of Labor (freshman), and corporate internships (sophomore to senior year, spanning three years). The program ensures that interns build a solid academic foundation while applying and enhancing their professional skills in a real-world corporate environment.
In addition, Chicony Electronics participates in key college/university campus job fairs every March. Beyond actively recruiting high-potential talent, these events provide opportunities for direct engagement with students, allowing us to answer questions, bridge the gap between academia and industry, assist students in planning their future careers, and help them gain deeper insights into the responsibilities and growth potential of roles within the industry.

Chicony regards talent development as a core driver of growth and has established the “Education and Training Management Procedure.” Through the “Chicony Competency Academy,” it has developed a structured learning framework that integrates both
theoretical knowledge and practical application.

Learning incentive culture

To recognize employees’ commitment to self-development, we has established the “Diligent Learning Award” to honor outstanding employees with the highest annual training hours. In 2025, a total of eight employees received this recognition, demonstrating our strong emphasis on professional growth and career development.
