Creating a Workplace with Diversity and Inclusion
Cathay provides indigenous employees with indigenous holiday leave. Indigenous employees may choose to take leave during any day of their tribe's holiday. Cathay’s office buildings have barrier-free facilities to help employees with disabilities to adapt to the work environment. Finally, we encourage employees to participate in volunteer activities that serve new immigrants, indigenous people, and people with disabilities, and communicate ideas through e-newsletters or special topic lectures, in order to improve employees’ understanding and identification with a workplace culture of diversity and tolerance. We will continue to implement the strategy of developing overseas markets using local talent with the goal of recruiting 85% of all overseas employees from local communities.

Cathay encourages female employees to utilize their abilities, and has set a long term target for female employee percentage to achieve 60%, in hopes to inspire equality in recruitment. Evidently, even by a stricter definition where only office staff statistics are accounted for, Cathay FHC has still already met the target, setting a benchmark for the finance sector in Taiwan.
