To recognize the dedication and contributions of workers across industrial parks, the Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held the "2025 Labor Day Commendation Ceremony" on April 29. This year, a total of 112 outstanding workers from the northern, central, southern, and eastern regions of Taiwan were honored. The commendations include both local and migrant workers. In addition, eight companies were recognized for promoting harmonious labor-management relations and fostering a happy and sustainable workplace together with their employees.
In the speech, BIP Director-General Mr. Chih-Ching Yang indicated that the continued growth of industrial parks relies on the tireless efforts of all workers and the active participation of enterprises. Director Yang noted that this recognition not only affirms the excellence of the awardees but also aims to inspire more employees to demonstrate professionalism, teamwork, and dedication. These efforts will help promote labor-management harmony, enhance overall competitiveness, and create a more attractive industrial ecosystem through continued improvements to the labor environment and service mechanisms. The BIP remains committed to "safety" and "sustainability" as guiding principles in governance.
Among this year's honorees, Mr. Chen Cheng-Hsiung from Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. was named a National Model Worker. Known for his proactive work ethic, Mr. Chen has applied innovative thinking and technical expertise to propose multiple process improvements, significantly increasing production efficiency while reducing operational costs. His outstanding contributions have earned high praise from the company and become a role model for others in the industrial park workforce. Another noteworthy honoree is Ms. Cherienne Gonzales from NXP Semiconductors Taiwan Ltd. who received the award for Outstanding International Migrant Worker. As the first foreign member to join the company's STR team, she took the initiative to learn Mandarin and has played a key role in team communication. Ms. Gonzales has earned the company's highest performance rating for six consecutive years, embodying the professionalism and diverse value that international workers bring to Taiwan's industries.
In addition to individual awards, eight companies and labor unions were commended for excellence in labor-management relations. Honorees included Taiwan Futaba Electronics Corp., NXP Semiconductors Taiwan Ltd., Canon Inc., Taiwan, and Brogent Technologies Inc. These companies have shown exemplary performance in areas such as sound management systems, open communication, and workplace improvements, and have long been committed to creating stable and harmonious work environments and becoming the model of industrials in the parks.
Reflecting on the BIP's labor policy initiatives over the years, the BIP has actively promoted workplace safety and improved labor conditions through the "Happy Industrial Parks" initiative. Now in its second year, the "Work-Life Balance Friendly Enterprise Award" honored eight companies across various sectors and scales for advancing gender equality, flexible working hours, and family-friendly policies. These efforts underscore the BIP's strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and continued support for sustainable labor practices.
The BIP emphasizes that this event is more than just a celebration--it is a meaningful platform to advocate for the value of labor. By recognizing workers' contributions, it helps unite labor and management toward a shared goal and injects steady momentum into Taiwan's economic development.
