Talent at its core: Building a warm and welcoming employer ecosystem
Avnet China has always regarded "talent competitiveness" as a key engine for corporate development. Around strategic goals and business needs, it has built a full-cycle talent management system encompassing "attracting, motivating, retaining, and developing" talent.
In terms of corporate culture development, Avnet China regularly conveys its core values through a multi-channel matrix including onboarding training, internal digital platforms, WeChat official accounts, and culture walls; it has established a closed-loop mechanism for employee engagement surveys, collecting feedback annually and optimizing management measures accordingly. Regarding work arrangements, it implements a flexible work mechanism combining four flexible shifts with one day of remote work per week, effectively supporting employees in achieving a work-life balance.
In terms of talent management and development, Avnet China has established a highly systematic talent mechanism oriented towards long-term development:
▎Performance and Development: We adopt the Workday Continuous Performance Management System, which replaces the traditional single scoring model with goal consensus and real-time feedback, thereby stimulating employees' intrinsic motivation and creating a high-performance culture;
▎Compensation and Promotion: Standardized management is achieved through the Global Job Architecture, with salaries for key positions benchmarked against industry market levels, and a 3-5 year long-term talent retention plan is launched;
▎Employee Care: Since 2016, we have introduced a confidential EAP (Employee Assistance Program) covering mental health support. We have also established a 24-hour ethics hotline, a zero-tolerance policy for workplace harassment, and a variety of health programs such as health lectures, health journals, and the "Million Steps Challenge" to ensure the physical and mental health of our employees and improve their experience.
▎Learning and Leadership: Integrating offline courses, LinkedIn Learning, and internal knowledge sharing mechanisms to build an integrated matrix; since 2003, we have been working closely with DDI to implement multi-level, tiered, and categorized leadership training, committed to the continuous growth of employees.
The employee engagement survey results show that Avnet China's employee engagement scores have consistently exceeded the industry's high-performance benchmark. The company has innovatively implemented a two-stage interview mechanism, "at the time of departure + 6 months after departure," to continuously calibrate corporate culture and employee experience through reverse review, and build an organizational system with self-evolution capabilities.
