Turnovers
Personnel changes, resignations, and retirements of employees are handled according to relevant CSC regulations. Regular employees can apply for retirement at the age 65 or for voluntary retirement at an earlier age with reference to the Labor Standards Act. Personnel changes are discussed by the immediate supervisors with the employees before the changes and will be announced with employee consent. If there are difficulties in performing labor services as a result, employees can directly propose to terminate the employment contracts or file a grievance within 30 calendar days from the effective date of the notice of the changes. A termination of the employment contract with CSC can be filed within ten calendar days after the grievance is
rejected.
CSC has established the "Directions for Handling Employee Voluntary Resignations and Retirements" and the "Directions for Handling Compensations for Retirements, Relief, Occupational Accidents, and Layoffs" to institutionalize applications for voluntary resignations
and retirements. In 2024, a total of 369 employees resigned, 251 of whom were over 60 years old, representing a turnover rate of 3.88%. They resigned mainly because they had reached the retirement age. The rest were younger employees, aged between 18 and 39 years old. They resigned from CSC to either pursue careers in state-owned enterprises or proceed with their own career plans due chiefly to the fact that younger people usually applied to CSC, state-owned enterprises, or civil service positions simultaneously. CSC has paid close attention to the trend of personnel turnovers. In addition to arranging professional and technical training courses and setting goals to bridge personnel nurturing and training for successors, CSC has
also transitioned rapidly to smart manufacturing to reduce dependence on basic manpower.
Furthermore, visual methods, such as AI or VR have been applied by CSC to train new recruits while taking into account the passing down of experiences from seasoned predecessors and improving training efficiency innovatively. As a result, the vacancies have been refilled.

CEO succession plan is in place
To ensure leadership continuity and strategic stability, CSC implements a robust CEO succession plan. The company conducts an annual review of the competencies, leadership qualities, and personal attributes required for executive roles. Potential successors within each division are thoroughly evaluated based on their succession readiness, development potential, and cultural fit. This evaluation considers their performance over the past three years, international and cross-functional rotation experiences, tenure, appointment date to their current role, and projected retirement date (the retirement timeline is particularly reviewed to prevent a concentration of retirements among supervisory positions, which could disrupt effective succession planning). Based on these insights, CSC formulates and executes a detailed succession plan, outlining strategies for the growth and deployment of future leaders.
In order to comprehensively develop decision-making skill in the role of executives, training for executive successors includes not only internal training related to management competencies but also job rotation and assignment to subsidiaries. For training programs, the CSC has cooperated with top universities in Taiwan to conduct the business management program.
