Progress and Results in 2024
Diversified Talent Development Program
MediaTek possesses a well-developed and diversified talent training system to provide corresponding professional and leadership training for employees in different positions and levels. We encourage employees to take part in their training plans and utilize evaluation and feedback mechanisms to help them develop their careers. We also provide personalized learning paths and diverse career development opportunities, to enhance employee engagement and sense of achievement, while continuously boosting MediaTek's industry competitiveness.
Diversified Self-Directed Learning Platform
Diverse Learning
Recognizing that employees across different units have unique business needs and career development goals, we have integrated diverse learning platforms to cater to their varied requirements. These platforms include Hahow, CommonWealth Leader Campus, Udemy, and Rosetta Stone, covering learning topics such as leadership and management, AI technology, languages, and general education courses.
Personalization
Valuing individual learning preferences and needs, employees can now set their learning goals and progress at their own pace and preferred times. This revolutionary approach departs from traditional classroom settings where learners must cooperate with the instructor’s and class’s pace. Furthermore, employees can adjust video playback speeds based on their proficiency, allowing them to absorb course content at their most efficient and suitable pace.
Habit Formation
Implementation outcome
-
Over 6,000 employees engaged in self-directed learning on platforms like Hahow, CommonWealth Leader Campus, and Udemy, accumulating over 21,000 self-directed learning hours. Notably, MediaTek’s average monthly learning hours on Udemy exceeded nine hours per employee, which is 1.8 times more than Udemy’s global average of five hours.
-
We also specially organized MediaTeker to MediaTeker (M2M) knowledge-sharing events, to teach and encourage employees to share new knowledge gained from self-directed learning platforms in a structured manner. To date, 47 employees have selflessly shared their insights, with over 5,700 ones engaging in learning on the platforms, thus successfully fostering a vibrant self-directed learning culture at MediaTek.
Cultivating Coaching Skills in Top Managers
We have adopted Group Coaching for selected senior managers to help them address management challenges, enhance coaching skills, and develop diverse leadership styles. This initiative not only strengthens individual management capabilities but also builds a coaching culture within the organization, ultimately boosting employee capabilities and contributing to the Company’s growth. In 2024, nearly 60 senior executives participated in group training, which created a positive impact within their teams.
Channels for Internal Job Application
In 2019, MediaTek formally initiated internal job application mechanism. By opening the channel for job transfer, all group-wide employees are provided with more a diverse development opportunity, which strengthens the width and depth of career development, enables employees to go to the positions they want, and promotes dynamic internal talent mobility. In 2024, 127 employees applied, bringing the cumulative total to over 230 individuals since 2019. Most of the successful applicants complete their internal transfers within three months since application.
