Gary Wang’s Good Place to Work Initiative Takes Off! Eastern Media, ETMall, and ETwarm Recognized by the Happy Enterprise Awards

Regular salary increases and diverse employee benefits are direct contributors to employee satisfaction and key factors for many when choosing a job. Today (November 11), three companies under Eastern Group, namely Eastern Media International, ETMall, and ETwarm, won the “Gold Award” for the Civil Service Industry and Real-Estate Industry categories in the 2021 Happy Enterprise Awards organized by 1111 Job Bank. Under the leadership of President Gary Wang, the Group was also awarded the “Special Award” this year in recognition of the company’s dedication to helping the disadvantaged and giving back to society during the pandemic.

The 2021 Happy Enterprise Awards ceremony organized by 1111 Job Bank was attended by over 2,000 companies in Taiwan. After collecting over 2 million votes online and being assessed by a panel of judges, nearly 300 companies were awarded. The winning companies were mostly praised for providing diverse employee benefits, taking care of their employees during the pandemic without pay cuts, and providing flexible commuting and pandemic prevention care leave.

Mr. Wang has pointed out in several occasions that: “Employees are like family. Safe employees make for a safe society.” In view of the easing of the pandemic and the ensuing inflation and price hikes threatening the finances of our employees, Eastern Group led the industry in announcing that it would take care of its front-line employees by offering a salary increase of up to 7% based on their years of service and the state of the company’s finances. During the pandemic, Eastern Group was also the first and only company in the industry to arrange for universal employee PCR testing fully paid by the company. At the same time, employees were provided with free vaccine insurance and free dietary supplement products to enhance their immunity. The plethora of benefits led many employees to warmly say: “Thanks, boss!”

In addition to the focus on health and wellbeing, Eastern Group is also known for offering benefits that meet the needs of its employees. The company has an employee recreation center with fitness equipment, massage chairs, and KTV facilities to create a quality recreation environment so that employees can relax, go to work happy, and maybe even bring their children along on holidays. President Gary Wang, who is also an advocate of pets’ rights, also frequently uses the ETtoday Pets platform to advocate for animal rights. Every month, a special “Pet Day" is set up so that ETtoday employees can bring their pets to work.

Gary Wang believes in taking of care young people and giving them a hand. With an inclusive and friendly corporate culture and an exceptional set of employee benefits, Eastern Media, ETMall, and ETwarm have rightly won their “Gold Award” at the 2021 Happy Enterprise Awards by 1111 Job Bank. Furthermore, their dedication to charity was also recognized by the “Special Award.” Thanks to all their achievements, Eastern Group is without question a Happy Enterprise and a great place to work. Eastern Group cares for its employees and would like to welcome those with expertise and ambition to join us and become part of our Happy Enterprise.
