Human Rights Policy

Shin Kong Security recognizes and adheres to the principles outlined in international human rights conventions such as the ‘United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights’, the ‘United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights’, the ‘United Nations Global Compact’, and the ‘International Labor Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work’ by staying committed to protecting the basic human rights of employees and creating a work environment that values the dignity and worth of the individual. Furthermore, the company complies with labor-related laws and regulations in all operating locations, and establishes appropriate management methods and procedures to prevent any human rights violations and infringements, in order to fulfill corporate social responsibility and protect the basic human rights of all employees, clients and stakeholders. In 2021, the company formulated a ‘Human Rights Protection Policy’ to protect our current employees and expects our suppliers and contractors to adhere to the following principles to protect human rights:

  1. Comply with local labor and environmental laws and regulations in the operating locations to ensure reasonable working conditions and a safe and healthy working environment for employees.
  2. Strive to create a working environment that provides equal employment opportunities for all, is free from discrimination, harassment, and differential treatment regardless of race, nationality, age, gender, marital status, political stance, religious belief, etc.
  3. No forced labor and no child labor.
  4. Respect employees’ privacy.
  5. Establish a smooth labor-management communication channel, provide a complaint mechanism, and conduct immediate investigation and implement remedial and improvement measures in case of human rights violations.
  6. Regularly review and evaluate the human rights system and practices.

Parental Policies

In addition to providing benefits such as menstrual leave, prenatal checkup leave, maternity leave and parental leave to female employees, the number of prenatal checkup accompaniment and paternity leaves have been extended to 7 days in response to the government’s policy of encouraging childbirth. Additionally, the requirement of spouse employment has been removed for the application of parental leave and family care leave is eligible for employees whose family members receive preventive vaccination, suffer from critical illnesses or encounter major events, in order to encourage employees and their spouses to share the responsibility of raising children. Furthermore, to enable married female employees to perform a balancing act between work and family, we have implemented the Maternal Health Protection program. For pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding female employees, nursing staff will assist them in conducting self-assessment of their health conditions and workplace hazard assessment together with occupational safety staff. Besides, we also arrange for maternal health protection interviews and work adaptation assessments by clinical health service physicians to help our female employees go through this important and special time in their lives.

Diversity Employment

SKS values job opportunities for the disadvantaged groups. We actively cooperate with the national policy and make good use of our resources to hire persons with disabilities and indigenous people, creating opportunities for talents to fit the right place in a friendly work environment. Additionally, in line with our philosophy of caring and taking care of our employees, we have set up a massage room on B1 of our Neihu headquarters building. The massage room is open to 20 people per day, and each person is entitled to two massage sessions per week and two free stress relief massages in the birthday month, in the hope to enhance the cohesiveness, centripetal force, and work efficiency of our employees, and at the same time, to do our best to contribute to the society.
