In light of Taiwan's low birth rates, which is now a future concern, HIWIN began promoting the "parental benefits" policy in 2013 to increase Taiwan's fertility rate and implement corporate social responsibility. HIWIN encourages employees to have children and shares in childcare expenses by providing a total of NT$180,000 over three years for every child – doubled for twins. Parents who are both HIWIN employees may apply concurrently. With HIWIN promoting welfare and support for employees, a total of 1,242 employees have applied for childcare benefits, and the percentage of employees who return to their original position after childbirth in 2021 was 89%. Employees can safely return to the workplace and realize their self-worth. Also, HIWIN has high regard for labor rights, so men account for a quarter of all applicants for unpaid parental leave, testifying to the fact that in addition to valuing work, HIWIN employees are also dedicated to gender equality within household responsibilities.
