Facing challenges of an aging population, declining birth rates, and labor shortages in industries, 'human capital' and 'healthy workforce' have become crucial for the competitiveness of both companies and countries. The Ministry of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration advocates for companies to prioritize worker health and safety, going beyond regulations. They are expanding the 'Selection of Sustainable Health Workforce Leading Companies' initiative, accepting registrations until August 15 from domestic privately-owned enterprises and foreign companies operating in Taiwan who have prepared and submitted sustainability reports. This year's selection criteria focus on principles of leadership commitment, strengthening health workforce, and expanding influence, with eligibility not restricted by business size or industry type. Additionally, considering many small and medium-sized enterprises are reporting sustainability for the first time, a 'New Model Award' has been introduced, along with free counseling resources to enhance competitiveness and operational resilience. In alignment with global sustainability, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is working towards the sustainable development of workplace health and labor force by initiating a medium to long-term plan starting from 2022, using GRI 403 Occupational Health and Safety standards and providing guidance for companies in compiling sustainability reports.
