Regular Health Checkups
To take care of employees' physical and mental health, BOT provides employees with health checkup subsidies. Employees aged above 40 may receive regular health checkups once every two years. Employees aged below 40 may receive regular health checkups once every three years. In 2023, BOT offered health checkups for employees aged above 40 for 5,748 people. To protect employees from influenza, BOT arranged for a medical team from the public diagnosis and treatment service office affiliated with the National Defense Medical Center in Taipei to provide vaccination for free to 83 employees.
Professional Health Counseling
BOT has hired specially appointed professional physicians to provide onsite health services. In 2023, six onsite health counseling sessions were held, with a total of 59 participants. For psychological health, BOT has signed up to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Entrusted Handling Contract with Yulian Management Consulting Co., Ltd. The bank has also established a counseling mechanism to provide employees with appropriate pipelines to alleviate work stress and pressure. In 2023, five employees who used this mechanism indicated in the satisfaction survey that the counseling process helped them alleviate feelings of anxiety and unease and that they felt encouraged and supported in this process.
Occupational Disaster Prevention and Health Protection
Considering the four protection programs standardized in the "Occupational Safety and Health Act" (prevention of human-induced hazards, prevention of abnormal workload-triggered disorders, prevention of unlawful infringements in the performance of duties, and maternal health protection), BOT has established relevant plans and measures to implement hazard identification and risk assessment for employees and workplaces, and annually establishes an occupational health and safety management and automatic inspection plan. Each unit is required to effectively implement these plans and measures to safeguard employees' health and safety and prevent the occurrence of occupational disasters.
