Talent is the precious wealth for the sustainable development of an enterprise. Handa Enterprise always adheres to the talent concept of "Handa is like the sea, accommodating all rivers", and recruits and cultivates talents with its unique employment philosophy of "five non-sole" principles. These principles are: not solely focusing on educational background, not solely considering personal relationships, not solely valuing work experience, not solely based on gender and age, and not solely prioritizing local or non-local candidates.

To help employees unleash their full potential and showcase their talents, Handa Enterprise has established a comprehensive mechanism for recruitment, nurturing, employment, and retention. This system provides a solid platform for ambitious employees to grow and advance. In terms of employee development, the company takes a long-term perspective and implements a structured mentoring program for new employees. It focuses on enhancing employees' abilities in all aspects, helps them plan their career development, and encourages them to take initiative in seeking self-improvement and growth. This fosters a win-win situation for both the company and its employees.

Education and Training

Handa has always spared no effort in providing employees with the necessary job skills and qualities for their growth and career development. Handa Enterprise has established a Business School that is based on talent development planning, the growth and development needs of employees, and job responsibilities. Through research on training needs, development of training plans, organization and implementation of training sessions, and tracking management improvements, the company aims to enhance employees' knowledge structure, improve their overall quality, boost their work skills, work attitude, and behavior patterns, and maximize their potential to achieve the maximization of their life value.

In overseas factories, Handa Industries establishes training programs based on the characteristics of local employees in a master-apprentice connected and on-site training way, sets different training cycles according to the difficulty of the position, and standardizes the training courses to ensure that employees can meet position requirements and adapt to their posts as soon as possible.

In 2023, the enterprise conducted training courses covering various topics including job skills, professional knowledge, general management, safety production, legal education, occupational health, and overall quality enhancement. Over 220 training sessions were held, with approximately 12,000 participants attending the training programs.

Burmese Language Learning Class

To enhance the management capabilities of Chinese personnel stationed in Myanmar, the Clothing Department of the Myanmar factory has launched Burmese language learning classes. These classes teach Chinese personnel simple Burmese phrases necessary for their daily work. 

Language serves as a tool for communication. With the expansion of the factory overseas, it has become essential for both Chinese and local employees to learn each other's languages for daily communication. As both sides learn from each other, the work skills of Chinese and Burmese personnel improve, leading to increased collaboration and efficiency in their work.

Team Leader On-Site Management Enhancement Training Session

In November 2023, the company organized a three-day on-site management enhancement training session for team leaders. The training invited senior industry experts to provide in-depth explanations and discussions on four key areas: how to excel as an outstanding employee, interpersonal relationships and communication, practical on-site management, and understanding and practices of management cadre roles. 

This training, combined with real work scenarios, holds significant importance for enhancing the comprehensive qualities and management abilities of team leaders in the garment factory.

Frontline Workers Skills Competition

To further enhance the skill and quality of frontline workers, the company organizes a skills competition for them, consisting of sewing and inspection contests. Through these competitions, the company aims to motivate and guide employees to embody and practice the spirit of "model workers" and "craftsmanship", empowering them to grow while excelling in their respective positions.

Open up Development Channels

Handa always internally insists on a steady career development path, provides employees with a dual-channel development platform for executive and management positions, continuously works on the promotion mechanisms and practices such as job transfer and rotation. Based on the employment concept, we only appoint personnel on their merits and abilities. We design a multi-level and comprehensive talent development system according to the job competency and promote ambitious employees with strong working ability to the corresponding positions. This initiative has created a fair and equitable competitive atmosphere within the enterprise, and has also offered a reliable system guarantee and correct direction guidance to the healthy growth of more employees. During the year, a total of 118 employees were promoted.

To fully stimulate employees' enthusiasm and creativity, the company has always placed great importance on their growth and development. Therefore, the company adheres to conducting monthly, quarterly, and annual excellence selection activities each year. The aim is to recognize outstanding employees through these selections, setting examples and inspiring all employees to strive for excellence and a sense of belonging. These selection activities not only acknowledge employees' hard work but also recognize their professional skills and teamwork abilities.

These selection activities not only let excellent employees get due honors and rewards, but also let all employees see their direction of efforts and goals.
