Global Workforce Overview - Employee Structure and Distribution
As at the end of 2025, LITEON had 36,153 employees worldwide; 53.8% were male and 46.2% were female. The overall gender distribution of employees has become more balanced. There were 6,946 employees in Taiwan, while the remaining 29,207 employees were located across overseas regions, including Mainland China, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Singapore, Mexico, the U.S.A., Japan, and Europe.
As LITEON continues to expand its global operations, to avoid talent gaps, we established localization teams to hire and train residents as mid- to senior-level managers, actively launching diverse talent recruitment strategies. In addition to attracting young talent through campus recruitment and R&D substitute service, we have also gradually established international industry-academia collaboration programs. Internally, we actively implement talent development and competency transfer initiatives to further strengthen our human capital.
