From AI Talent Development to Tangible Benefits: Asia Cement Upgrades to TTQS Silver and Retains “Happy Enterprise” Gold Award

In the face of the low-carbon transition and the wave of digitalization, talent is the crucial driving force behind corporate transformation and steady growth. Asia Cement Corporation (ACC) closely aligns its "talent development and retention" with its operational strategy, implementing it through concrete institutional practices. This commitment has earned the company dual recognition: an upgrade from Bronze to Silver in the Talent Quality-management System (TTQS) assessment, and a consecutive "Happy Enterprise Gold Award in the Manufacturing Sector" from the 1111 Job Bank, thanks to its comprehensive employee benefits and compensation system.

According to historical TTQS assessment data from the Ministry of Labor, only about 8% of evaluated organizations receive the "Silver" medal, demonstrating the success of ACC's continuous refinement of its talent development systems. In response to digital transformation, ACC has been promoting an "AI for All" training program since 2025, strengthening capabilities in net-zero carbon emissions and AI applications, and assisting employees in integrating AI tools into their daily workflows. Post-training tracking shows that 93% of trained employees feel their AI application skills have improved, 80% have developed a daily usage habit, and their average work time has been reduced by approximately 30%. Furthermore, through targeted course planning and outcome tracking, ACC enhances managers' coaching abilities and promotes the transfer of organizational knowledge and professional experience.

The key to creating a happy workplace lies in providing "tangible and meaningful" benefits to employees. According to the 1111 Job Bank's 2026 survey on "The Most Tangible Benefits for Office Workers," the top five priorities are: transparent bonus sharing, competitive salaries, reasonable working hours, needs-tailored benefits, and managerial respect and trust. ACC ensures employees share in the company's operational success by offering highly competitive salaries, employee compensation, and an Employee Stock Ownership Trust (ESOT). The company also integrates sustainability goals into performance management by establishing an "Energy-Saving Performance Bonus" to encourage employees to actively implement carbon reduction. Regarding employee care, ACC provides benefits that exceed legal requirements, including 30 days of fully paid sick leave per year, 3 days of volunteer leave, and a flexible NT$12,000 travel allowance, comprehensively supporting employees' physical and mental health as well as their quality of life.

In terms of retirement security, ACC raised the employer's labor pension contribution rate for grassroots employees from the statutory 6% to 6.1% at the beginning of the year. The company further announced that starting December 1, 2026, the employer contribution rate for all employees will be uniformly increased to 6.5%—representing a growth of over 8% in the contribution rate. By upgrading retirement security and perfecting employee benefits, ACC turns employee care into concrete institutional practices. The effectiveness of these measures is directly reflected in its remarkably high talent retention rate of 91% for three consecutive years.

Yu Tung-lin, Vice President of Human Resources at ACC, stated that achieving the TTQS Silver medal signifies the company's ongoing integration of talent cultivation with operational strategy, ensuring that training serves as a vital pillar for low-carbon and digital transformation. Winning the Happy Enterprise Gold Award once again is a profound validation of the company's compensation system and welfare measures. Moving forward, ACC will continue to optimize its talent cultivation, compensation rewards, and retirement security, empowering employees to unleash their full potential and grow alongside the enterprise.
