Sexual Harassment Prevention and Gender Equality
To ensure gender equality in employment, eliminate sexual discrimination, and prevent sexual harassment, EVA Air published the “Advocacy of Sexual Harassment Prevention in the Workplace” on the Company’s internal website. We continued to provide courses on Act of Gender Equality in Employment and sexual harassment prevention, and added lessons on the Maternity Health Protection for our female employees. If employees encounter sexual discrimination or sexual harassment, they may file a complaint by filling out the “Complaint Form for EVA Air Employees” in accordance with the “Measures of Prevention, Correction, Complaint and Punishment of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace” and inform the head of the Human Resource Division. Cases shall reach resolution within two month from the day a complaint received, and one month extension if necessary. In 2022, there were a total of 4 complaint cases of complaint filed via the formal complaint channel. After investigations, only 2 of the cases was constituted. The Company has disseminated information to all staff, as well as planning to invite external lecturers to give a speech on the courses of sexual harassment preventions, and to promote awareness of gender equality.
