Giant Group announced today (15th) that in addition to the implementation of a "Zero Recruitment Fee Policy" for all newly recruited foreign migrant workers effective January 1, 2025—with the company continuing to bear all recruitment fees, service charges, and related government costs—Giant Group is currently commissioning a renowned international third-party adviser to identify, assess, and develop a comprehensive compensation plan to reimburse current migrant workers hired before January 1, 2025, for their previous recruitment expenses.

Giant Group has already initiated the first phase of fee reimbursement payment this week to demonstrate its commitment. Giant has made the provision in the book with sufficient funding ability to support the payment so Giant can ensure all migrant workers receive what they are eligible for.  This is a further concrete action to fulfill the company’s commitment to human rights and fair employment practices.

At the same time, Giant Group has completed the relocation of all migrant worker dormitories, with a total of 400 more workers moving into two newly built facilities located in Yuanli, Miaoli, and Waipu, Taichung. The previous Rinan dormitory was limited by its age and space constraints. The new dormitories were designed and upgraded in line with international labor and human rights standards, providing a safe, healthy, and respectful living environment that meets fire protection, construction, and public safety requirements. Each dormitory features eight-person rooms, private bathrooms, dining and leisure areas, and basic fitness equipment, as well as fire protection systems and dedicated management personnel.  These dormitories significantly enhance overall living quality and demonstrate the company’s determination to continuously improve living and working conditions.

This policy expansion and dormitory relocation form part of Giant Group’s long-term Migrant Worker Rights Enhancement Program. Since 2024, the Group has steadily advanced this Program, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to self-assessment and improvement in accordance with international human rights standards. Respect, equality, and responsibility are the core values of Giant Group’s corporate culture, and the Group will continue holding itself to the highest standards to build a safe, dignified, and sustainable working and living environment.
