Ruentex Development Health Checkup Four Key Features
-
• Standards exceed legal and industry norms!
- 1. All full-time employees, regardless of age, are offered two health check-ups annually.
- 2. The check-up items cover urine tests, blood tests, liver, gallbladder, and kidney function tests, chest X-rays, abdominal ultrasounds, and cancer screenings.
- 3. To encourage senior colleagues to pay attention to their physical health, manager and associate manager-level colleagues aged 40 and above are provided with personalized executive health checkups. Vice president-level and above colleagues receive executive health checkups plus annual member healthcare services, with 75% of executive health checkup and care service costs subsidized by the company. In 2024, Ruentex Development Group subsidized health checkups for permanent employees in the construction industry and the department store and service industry, with a total cost of NT$10,477,400.
-
• Not only do we identify health issues, but we also aim for complete recovery!
- The health check-up report not only includes the current examination results and recommendations but also provides trend lines tracking various health indicators from past tests. This allows employees to not only understand their current health status but also track the changes in their indicators over the last five check-ups, helping them detect abnormalities early, adjust their lifestyle, and seek treatment.
-
• We care about your family’s health too!
- In addition to fully covering the cost of standard employee health check-ups, we offer more advanced self-paid examination options and discounted health check-ups for family members. This not only gives employees more choices but also extends care to their loved ones.
-
• Health is important, and so is environmental sustainability!
- In line with our environmental commitment, all health check-up reports are provided as encrypted electronic files directly to the employees, ensuring personal information remains secure and preventing unnecessary paper waste.

Ruentex Development values employee health and welfare, continuously optimizing security systems, particularly by providing relatively comprehensive medical insurance coverage to reduce financial pressure employees might face during emergencies. The company fully covers colleagues’ group insurance premiums, including life insurance, accident insurance, medical insurance, and cancer insurance. Through the inclusion of cancer insurance, overall coverage becomes more comprehensive.
Additionally, the company provides opportunities for colleagues’ spouses and children to participate in group medical insurance at preferential rates, allowing family members to enjoy medical coverage together. Ruentex Development believes employee health is an important foundation for stable company development; therefore, it invests resources to maintain basic coverage so colleagues can work with peace of mind.
For short-term mall and TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE hourly workers with higher mobility, the company also purchases employer accident liability insurance to protect their personal safety during work and reduce workplace risks. Through these basic security measures, we hope to provide employees and their families with a certain level of support during unexpected situations.
Ruentex Development has established a “Labor Retirement Reserve Fund Supervisory Committee” responsible for reviewing employee retirement eligibility and handling retirement benefit distribution. All colleagues meeting the Labor Standards Act retirement conditions may apply for retirement based on their personal physical and mental health and work capacity.
Regarding the retirement system, the company provides monthly retirement reserve fund contributions for employees under the old system according to the Labor Standards Act regulations. For employees choosing the new system under the Labor Pension Act, 6% retirement contributions are made monthly to their personal accounts, with employees able to voluntarily contribute an additional 0% to 6%, managed by the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
To help colleagues face difficulties and pressures they may encounter in life or work, the company has introduced Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). This program covers personal health, family marriage, legal consultation, and emotional management, providing one-on-one professional counseling services with privacy protection as one option for employees seeking support.
EAP is designed to provide practical assistance, allowing employees to access help and advice when needed, while also hoping to enhance employee trust and sense of belonging to the enterprise through this mechanism. The company will gradually promote related programs and make subsequent adjustments and optimizations based on actual implementation as part of creating a more friendly workplace.
