The “Best IT Employer” award was presented to 91APP by Audrey Tang, the Minister of Digital Affairs, in recognition of the company’s unwavering commitment to the digital industry and talent development in Taiwan.
Being Taiwan’s first publicly-listed SaaS company, 91APP holds a critical position in the digital industry, the market, and talent development. As an industry leader, the company has been actively supporting and nurturing SaaS software startups, assisting them in entering Taiwan’s capital market. 91APP’s objective is to keep SaaS software services and technology within Taiwan, draw more exceptional digital software talents to the country, and fuel growth in Taiwan’s digital industry, market, and talent pool in a mutually beneficial cycle.
At present, 91APP boasts a workforce of over 500 employees, with more than half of them working in IT-related roles. The company places a strong emphasis on treating each team member as a “professional worker.” In terms of fostering digital software talent, 91APP maintains a professional and diverse work environment. It regularly hosts technical and thought leadership book clubs, conducts internal technical innovation competitions and consistently encourages the growth potential of its talents. Furthermore, the company has partnered with the esteemed software talent training institution, AppWorks School, to introduce a free “Software Engineer Training Series Program,” offering opportunities for career transitions and employment, thereby assisting IT talents in preparing for their careers.
In the realm of talent acquisition, 91APP, a driving force behind the digital transformation of retail brands, actively recruits top talents to meet the demands of its rapidly expanding business. The company not only attracts a multitude of cross-disciplinary experts but also places a significant focus on promoting and recognizing key talents within the organization.
Innovation and high-performance teams go hand in hand with the emphasis on health at 91APP. The company places a high value on the well-being of its professional workers and supports them through three key pillars: creating a friendly workplace, increasing health awareness, and strengthening colleague support. This is achieved through initiatives such as childcare support and subsidies, a wide array of health-related lectures, numerous sports clubs, vaccination subsidies, and occupational health consultations. These measures enable professional workers to pursue their sporting interests outside of work, integrate health principles into their daily lives, and lay the foundation for continuous development, fostering a positive culture of well-being within the company.
To drive the development of Taiwan’s digital talent and industry, 91APP begins with itself, aiming to continually enhance Taiwan’s competitiveness in the digital industry. Leveraging its ‘soft’ power, the company strives to become a vital catalyst for growth in Taiwan’s digital industry and the new economy.
