The Way We Work - BeActEngage
The environment is characterized by accelerated change in society and economy. Air Liquide needs to adapt its ways of working to meet the challenges and to leverage on new opportunities. Hence, in 2020 ALFE is implementing a Group program - BeActEngage - that defines its working principles, its basic ethical attitude, and its ability and willingness to act in an agile manner in a constantly changing environment. 3 pillars of BeActEngage are:- Be: Living its fundamentals (Safety, Ethics, Long-term performance)
- Act: Acting for its success (Deliver, being proactive & taking ownership; Care about customers, patients & colleagues; Adapt to the changing environment)
- Engage: Creating engaging environment for its teams (Give purpose sharing the Why; Trust and be trusted; Grow its people, giving guidance and learning opportunities)
MyVoice & EX Roadshows - Listen to the voices of employees
In 2019, ALFE was chosen as one of the four countries in the world to launch the new Group initiative - MyVoice, a very key milestone for the company transformation journey and for its “Employee eXperience (EX)” improvement ambition.In 2020, 96% of all employees participated in the MyVoice survey, and 850 insightful comments were received from across the company. After gathering feedback, task force teams for each action item were assigned, and 12 physical roadshows were organized to report the action plans and improvement results. Through the company-level actions, ALFE hopes to enhance EX and make it a better place to work.
Covid Mitigation - To protect whom we care the most
Since the beginning of 2020, Covid-19 has been changing the way people live. To protect the health of its employees, customers, patients and partners, all plants and offices in ALFE were mobilized at the beginning of the outbreak to take multiple precautionary measures to ensure the continuity of its business and services, including:- Establishing a Covid Committee right away to monitor and make decisions on a daily basis.
- Deploying hygiene related measures, such as environment disinfection, health-protection regulations, and virtual meetings/interviews...etc.
- Activating BCP and practicing Team A & Team B.
EAP Program - Safeguard Employees' Physical & Mental Health
In 2020, ALFE launched the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to provide employees and their family members a professional and confidential counselling/advice service on a wide range of work and life topics/issues where COVID-19 virus pandemic impact is also included. As part of the EAP, 4 lectures covering topics from work to parenting were conducted. Up to March of 2021, 74 times of EAP consulting services were applied by ALFE employees. Furthermore, a new Nursing Service at sites is also in place to look after employees’ occupational safety & health. Employees are eligible to biweekly face-to-face consultancy with medical professionals.Sports Month - Walk into a Healthy Lifestyle
In the context of COVID-19, many physical activities are limited. In order to encourage employees to exercise more, a one-month online walking campaign - Sports Month - was organized in 2020. A total of 370 colleagues, more than 60% of ALFE’s employees, have participated in this activity. In terms of the overall performance, 27.3 laps of walking distance around the island was achieved eventually. That means every participant walked 8,208 steps averagely per day.
Nonstop Learning - AL University Virtual Campus
Air Liquide’s stated objective is to become a “learning organization” in which employees' development is its top priority. In 2020, Air Liquide University (ALU) decided to create an opportunity out of this Covid crisis and to “bounce back” with a new offering: ALU Virtual Campus. ALFE proactively leveraged the Virtual Campus and encouraged employees to join. Through different professional fields and diverse domestic and international rotation programs, ALFE assists each employee to create an individual career path. In 2020, the total training hour of ALFE is 23,344 hours, equivalent to nearly 40 hours per employee.Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) Week - Embrace Individual Differences
Inclusion enables people to leverage the differences, and contributes to creating sustainable and innovative solutions to society's major challenges. Establishing a corporate culture of Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) is one of the keys to enhance employees’ sense of identity and create a better working environment in Air Liquide.On International Women’s Day in 2021, ALFE held its 1st "I&D Week", covering topics including Gender Equality, Bias Challenge, and Generations at Work. In addition to the physical events, a one-month "BINGO Challenge'' was launched to encourage employees to learn 23 I&D e-learnings through its learning platform.
Sustainability Month - Cleans Up the Beaches and Our Lifestyle!
Air Liquide just committed to a 33% reduction objective in its carbon emission by 2035 (compared to 2020), and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. As part of efforts to work towards the objective, ALFE has extended its CSR efforts from a “Volunteer Day” to a “Sustainability Month” in 2020. The company organized four week-long activities covering subjects in line with AL Group’s Climate Objectives: the daily use of plastics, the responsible management of email inboxes, and sustainable mobility. Those taking part were therefore able, for an entire month, to advance their knowledge, propose solutions and take effective action for the planet.The climax of the Sustainability Month is the Volunteer Day. In 2020, ALFE held the 4th year Volunteer Day to clean 3 beaches in North, Central and South of Taiwan. To amplify the impact of the event, ALFE also invited Nanya Technology, a key customer of Electronics, to join the beach cleaning activity. In total, nearly 300 volunteers from ALFE & Nanya cleared 2.4 tons of garbage. Whether the number of participants or the amount of garbage cleaned, both set a new record!
Safety Education - Long-term contribution to tribe students
Furthermore, ALFE continuously contributes to the safety and gas science education. Inheriting the Group’s core value on safety, ALFE rolled out its School Safety Education program in 2017 at Mekarang Elementary School, a remote aboriginal-based school in Hsinchu. Through bi-weekly courses, ALFE volunteers are dedicated to enrich children’s knowledge about gas science and safety education, to stimulate students from the tribe and to unlock the door to a wider world of knowledge.Upholding the business philosophy of Air Liquide Group in safety, health and environmental protection, ALFE is not only committed to creating value for customers with innovation, but also focusing on developing local employees, enhancing Employee eXperience, helping disadvantaged groups, protecting the environment, and giving back to society.

我們的工作方式－BeActEngage
現今環境的特徵為社會和經濟的加速變化。因此，液空集團也需要調整工作方式，以因應挑戰並掌握新機會。亞東在2020年導入BeActEngage的集團計劃，其定義了員工的工作原則、基本的道德態度，以及在不斷變化的環境中，迅速採取行動的能力和意願。BeActEngage的三個基本原則是：- Be：落實基本原則（安全、道德和長期績效）
- Act：為成功而努力（積極主動且承擔責任，關懷客戶、病患和同仁，適應變化的環境）
- Engage：創造同心協力的環境，以吸引團隊成員投入（制訂目標並分享原因，信任他人並獲得信任，發展人才並提供指導和學習機會）
MyVoice員工調查＆員工體驗巡演－傾聽員工的聲音
2019年，亞東被母公司液空集團選為全球四個試行新專案－「MyVoice員工調查」的國家之一，也是亞太區唯一試行的分公司。MyVoice新專案的推動，是公司轉型和改善員工體驗的重要里程碑。2020年，共有高達96%的員工參與，並提供高達850則寶貴意見。在收到員工回饋之後，公司針對每項行動組成任務團隊，並安排12場實體「巡演」，面對面地向員工報告公司層級的行動方案及改善成果。亞東希望藉由「MyVoice員工調查」，提升員工體驗，打造幸福企業。
疫情調適－保護我們關心的所有對象
2020年初起，新冠疫情大幅改變人類生活的樣貌。為了保護員工、客戶、病患和合作夥伴的健康，亞東各廠區及辦公室從疫情初期，即全力動員採取多項防疫措施，以確保營運與服務不中斷。主要行動包括：- 成立新冠病毒危機小組，每日及時調整決策。
- 執行衛生相關措施，包括環境消毒、訂定防疫規範、線上會議及面試等。
- 啟動業務持續營運（BCP計劃），實際進行A/B組演練。
EAP員工協助方案－守護員工的身心健康
2020年，亞東啟動員工協助方案（EAP），提供同仁及家人在工作和生活的多項議題上，專業且保密的諮商／諮詢服務，其中也包含新冠疫情所帶來的影響，以保障同仁的身心健康，並針對全員舉辦四場涵蓋從工作到育兒等主題的講座；截至2021年3月，亞東員工共使用了74次的諮詢服務。此外，亞東在廠區也推出廠護服務（Nursing Service），由具專業證照的醫護人員，兩周一次為同仁提供職業安全和健康上的把關與建議。
亞東健走月－走向健康的生活
在新冠疫情下，許多大型活動受到限制。為了鼓勵員工多運動，亞東在2020年規劃了為期一個月的線上步行活動－「亞東健走月」，共有370位同仁（佔員工超過60％）參加，總計累積了可繞行台灣本島27.3圈的步行距離；每個參與者平均每天走8,208步（原目標為6,000步）。學習永不止息－液空大學虛擬校園
液空集團的既定目標是成為「學習型組織」，員工的發展為其重中之重。2020年，液空大學（Air Liquide University）決定在這場新冠危機中，創建「虛擬校園」作為對抗疫情的學習平台；亞東亦積極鼓勵員工報名線上校園相關課程。藉由不同的專業領域，多元化的內部及海外工作輪調計劃，亞東協助每位員工發展個人職涯楷梯。2020年，亞東總訓練時數達23,344小時，平均每位員工受訓時數近40小時。包容與多元週（I＆D Week） - 擁抱並尊重個人差異
包容能使人們善用彼此差異，並貢獻於發展永續及創新的解決方案，以因應社會重大挑戰。建立包容與多元（Inclusion & Diversity）的液空企業文化，強調尊重且保有個人差異性，是提升員工認同感，並創造更好工作環境的重要關鍵。在2021年國際婦女節當週，亞東首次舉辦了「包容與多元週」，主題活動包括：性別平等、挑戰偏見、以及跨世代的協同合作。除了實體活動之外，另規劃為期一個月的「賓果挑戰賽」，鼓勵員工藉由線上學習平台，參與23堂不同的包容與多元相關課程。
亞東永續月－淨化海灘和我們的生活方式！
液空集團甫承諾將於2035年減少33％碳排放量（以2020年為基準），並在2050年前實現碳中和目標。亞東為實現集團目標持續努力，並在2020年，將年度CSR活動從一天的志工日，擴大為「亞東永續月」，規劃執行長達四週的綠色永續行動，涵蓋與集團氣候目標相符的主題，包括：無塑挑戰賽、永續系列講座、清理郵箱、綠色通勤及志工日等，促使全體員工利用這一個月的時間，充實永續相關知識，提出解決方案，並為地球採取有效行動。永續月的高潮則是志工日活動。2020年，亞東舉辦第四年的志工日，全台的員工和眷屬同一天在北部、中部和南部三地淨灘。為了擴大社會影響力，亞東更邀請重要客戶－南亞科技一同參與。當天來自亞東和南亞近300名志工，共撿拾了2.4噸的垃圾。不論是參加人數或是清除的垃圾量，雙雙創下新紀錄！
校園安全教育－為部落兒童的長期貢獻
此外，亞東也不斷為校園的安全與氣體科學教育做出貢獻。基於公司在安全方面的核心價值，自2017年起，我們長期在新竹尖石鄉的梅花國小進行「校園安全教育」。在每兩週一次的課程中，亞東志工們透過氣體科學及安全教育，為泰雅族部落小朋友帶來學習和刺激，並拓展其知識視野。亞東秉持液空集團在安全、健康和環保之經營理念，致力於以創新為客戶創造價值，發展在地員工、提升員工體驗，幫助弱勢族群，保育環境，回饋社會。
