The TWSE and its subsidiaries have established management approaches, promotion programs, training, grievance channels, and related policies, so that workplace equality is not just words, but a working reality.

Human rights related courses offered by the TWSE and TDCC mainly focused on sexual harassment prevention in the workplace and gender equality issues.

The TWSE and its subsidiaries established the "Regulations for Workplace Sexual Harassment Prevention Measures, Grievances, and Penalties" to prevent and handle sexual harassment incidents in the workplace, provide a work and service environment free of sexual harassment, and protect the rights and privacy of the parties involved. Contents of the regulations include a definition of the scope of sexual harassment, the structure of a sexual harassment grievance committee, grievance and remedy mechanisms, review procedures, duty of confidentiality, and counseling or medical referral services. With regard to protecting the parties involved, personnel that participate in the investigation are obligated to maintain confidentiality. Those found in violation face severe penalties in accordance with the regulations.

In 2020, the TWSE received two reports of external grievances, which were immediately handled according to reporting procedures, investigated in accordance with the law, and resolved. The TWSE and its subsidiaries immediately held lectures aimed at all employees to prevent sexual harassment to create a safe work environment, enhance their self-protection abilities, and avoid future incidents of sexual harassment.
