ADATA rewards the participants by buying the Company’s shares for them in the same amount of their contribution to the plan per month. This is equivalent to an annual salary adjustment. In addition, the Company increases salary in a fixed amount per month to motivate employees to prepare their pension funds early, improve the retention rate of outstanding talents, and strengthen employees’ trust in the Company and happiness, thereby working together to facilitate the growth of the organization and create a win-win enterprise where employees work happily.
