Well-being and Achievement

FET believes that providing equal and competitive compensation and benefits is one of the key factors in retaining talent.

In terms of compensation structure, the Company ensures that the starting salaries for all positions do not vary based on gender, race, religion, political affiliation, marital status, or other non-job-related factors. This guarantees fair and reasonable remuneration for all employees. Furthermore, the salaries for all positions—including non-employee workers—exceed both the government-mandated minimum wage and the minimum cost of living per person as published by the Ministry of Finance.

FET’s compensation system is not only fully compliant with legal requirements but also takes into account employees’ cost of living, demonstrating the Company’s commitment to labor rights and social responsibility.FET participates annually in the Willis Towers Watson salary survey and regularly reviews its compensation policies based on market benchmarks.

The Company also analyzes salary distribution across different job levels, functions, and genders to ensure gender pay equity across all job types. In addition, FET offers year-end bonuses, performance-based bonuses, sales incentives, and special awards to recognize outstanding employees and foster a high-performance corporate culture. In order to drive sustainable growth with costs efficiency and to encourage companywide engagement in ESG efforts, the company offers "Sustainability Incentive Plan" which apply to all employees.
