A Happy Workplace

Events 2021/03/19
When Mr. Zhong started his job as a machinist at SOCO about 40 years ago, the factory counted only 35 employees. SOCO was a small factory specializing in saws and metal cutting machines in Central Taiwan. Since then, many things changed, in Zhong's life and at SOCO. While he was expanding his family – getting married and waiting for the arrival of the first child – the factory started its development and globalization. 


40 Years of Experience
Like many SOCO employees, Mr. Zhong has made a lasting impact. He retired after many years of working at SOCO as a machinist, but his retirement life didn't last long, since after a few months he decided to come back to the factory.

“I am happy here. I have a stable income, nice colleagues. It's a pleasant routine”.

Over the years Zhong acquired a deep knowledge of SOCO's machines, and he is considered the number one of the machinery-assembly department. He can quickly identify the problems machines have or may have. His practical approach and problem-solving skills are of great value to SOCO, especially when it is time to test and optimize our tube benders and meet customers' requirements. 
Mr. Zhong's experience is a significant resource to us as it helps give continuity to our work. Newcomers can rely on him: he is seen as a mentor that can transmit his expertise to colleagues.


Why Come Back To SOCO?
Zhong preferred employment at SOCO to retirement. Why? How can we keep our staff happy, motivated, and proud of what they do?

At SOCO we aim to create a safe, healthy, and positive workplace where a good balance between work and private life is a priority. We run an open style of internal communication and encourage employees to bring in new ideas and projects. The different departments work closely together to find better solutions to the problems we encounter.

“I like my colleagues. There is always time for a good laugh. Problems can always be solved", says Mr. Zhong.“Working at SOCO has been – and it still is – my life, and I consider it as a family: we grew together.”

Staff facilities – canteen, sleeping room, sports center, garden – are open to all employees during break times, and there is no stress at work because everyone does their best, knowing that their efforts will be awarded.

 Besides a good daily life, SOCO supports their staff in building their future with welfare, pension plans, and family packages. SOCO offers also housing support with employee dormitory, discounted price for renting or buying apartments with 0% interest.

It takes a team of talented and motivated workers to convey the brand values to each machine that we produce. Their happiness at work is our formula to succeed.
