Diligently Developing Personnel Capacity,
Raising the Contribution of Our Talent
To nurture talent within the areas covered by the
TaiwanICDF’s operational priorities and to meet the
organization’s medium- to long-term development
goals, this year we organized a number of professional
workshops covering subjects such as agriculture, public
health and ICT. We also initiated a project management
foundation course for new employees so as to develop
their core competencies and facilitate more rapid
integration into the TaiwanICDF’s operations.
In terms of overseas staff, for the first time we arranged
a dedicated round of training for personnel returning
from overseas service. These arrangements explained
the content of operations, implementation methodologies
and operating procedures involved in work internal to the
TaiwanICDF, thereby assisting many returning personnel
to adapt more rapidly to the pace of work in Taiwan.
In addition, to promote experience sharing between
domestic and overseas personnel and to pass on foreign
aid experience, we also arranged for overseas personnel
to share successful experiences of implementing
projects in partner countries in Africa and the Caribbean.
Toward the end of the year our TaiwanICDF Mission
Leaders’ Conference also helped to expose some of the
problems encountered during the course of implementing
projects, and promoted concrete, practicable business
methods, refining our operations and strengthening the
communication and coordination of our goals.
Putting Regulations and Systems into Practice,
Offering a Friendly and EquitableWorking
Environment
In response to the promulgation of Taiwan’s Personal
Information Protection Act on October 1, 2012, we have
consulted with and appointed external legal counsel to
assist in introducing systems that comply with these new
regulations, updating document templates and forms
relating to the security and maintenance of personal
data, responses to breaches of or incidents involving
the security of personal data, and the submission of and
consent to collect personal data. This forms the basis for
the management of human capital and will safeguard the
security of colleagues’ personal data.
In addition, to put the recent Act of Gender Equality in
Employment into practice, we have revised prevention,
grievance and disciplinary measures for sexual
harassment in the workplace, reminding colleagues
of the need to respect gender distinctions and proper
etiquette, and advocating prevailing standards in gender
ethics so as to create a friendly and equitable working
environment.
