A company wants to develop in the long term and build a so-called “happy enterprise,” it needs to be in an industry that possesses a certain degree of stability and has the potential for future development. In addition, a company must have a perfect internal system which is the cornerstone of enterprise development. This year, Chugai Pharma Taiwan Ltd (台灣中外製藥) once again won the “Best Companies To Work For In Asia” award presented by Asia’s most authoritative human resources publication “HR Asia.” This year’s competition has 292 entrants, and only 6 were pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, the competition was fierce for all entrants. But what is more extraordinary is that Chugai Pharma Taiwan has won this award for three years in a row since 2019.
