Employee Welfare & Care
Everlight upholds the belief in taking care of employees’ lives and caring for their rights. The Company has established a Staff Welfare Committee to coordinate various welfare measures, extending the Company’s care to employees and their families.
▍Creating a Diverse and Gender-Friendly Workplace Environment
- Establish lactation rooms and provide friendly parking spaces during pregnancy.

Employees can apply for parental leave to care for young children. In Taiwan, this includes 8 weeks of paid maternity leave and up to 6 months of government-subsidized unpaid leave. Both parents are eligible. In 2024, both male and female employees had a 100% return rate, reflecting strong family support policies.
