Diversity and Inclusion

We emphasize an "equal opportunity" workplace policy. We are committed to maintaining a non-discriminatory work environment by respecting and accommodating the diverse cultures of our team members. We provide equal employment opportunities to employees and job applicants without discrimination based on race, color, genetic heritage, or other characteristics protected by local laws. We remind supervisors to use the analytical data of the candidate's skill level and personality assessment as the basis for recruitment, and to recruit without bias based on their gender, age, race, etc. In addition, we promote the importance of multiculturalism to our global workforce through classroom and online training, emphasizing that Acer provides a work environment free of discrimination (including race and color). We also review demographics of our employees and leadership teams, such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) data, to inform recruitment and training planning.

Multinational and diverse employees

Talent Recruitment

Wherever we are in the world, Acer strives to adhere to labor laws when hiring staff. We insist on equal opportunity employment, hiring through an open selection process that does not discriminate on the basis of factors that have no bearing on work capability, including ethnicity, skin color, age, religious belief, nationality, ancestry, marital status,gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, military service, or political beliefs. With our focus on hiring the best people for the job, we have been able to assemble a diverse array of outstanding talent. We also provide competitive pay and benefits, humane management, and a robust path for promotion and career development.

In 2022, the global average percentage of staff who were new full-time hires (a total of 934 people) was 13%. In 2022, we had 960 regular employees departing globally, with an average  turnover rate  of 13%, a decrease from 2021, primarily due to enhanced management training to enable supervisors to understand management communication,job coaching, and performance management skills, resulting in a stronger sense of belonging to the team.
