Talent Attraction and Retaining Professionals
Teacher evaluation and rewards cover 100% of the process of assessing staff performance. The evaluation is divided into teacher and faculty assessments. The "Measures for Evaluation of Teacher Performance and Qualifications" are the foundation for teacher evaluation. Each college has the autonomy to determine evaluation criteria and their respective weights. Nevertheless, teaching, research, counseling, and service must collectively account for at least 30% of the evaluation. Teachers ranking in the bottom 5% based on evaluation scores will be referred to the university's teacher association for review. Qualification review is considered successful only if over two-thirds of the teacher association members attend and more than half of the attendees approve. Otherwise, it is deemed unsuccessful. Teachers who fail the evaluation will receive counseling assistance developed separately by each college and must submit their own improvement plans. Teachers who fail the evaluation three times in a row will not be rehired. Additionally, there is a promotion system within a specified timeframe. The dual-track teacher evaluation mechanism benefits the enhancement of faculty and teachers' teaching, research, counseling, and service quality.
To encourage teachers to engage in industry-academia cooperation and special research and improve their practical and academic research energy, the Office of Research and Development provides industry-academic cooperation matchmaking services and intellectual property and technology transfer services. The Innovation & Incubation Centre provides enterprises that have settled down in the center with consulting and counseling services that involve product and technology development, finance, accounting, law, operation management, and marketing.
Teachers with Outstanding Teaching Performance
To enhance the quality of teaching materials, elevate teaching standards, acknowledge educators' commitment, and reward exceptional teachers, MCUT has established “Measures for Selection of Teachers with Outstanding Teaching Performance.”
Employee Performance Evaluation
The company utilizes the "Employee Performance Evaluation Procedures" as the standard for assessing employee performance. Annually in June, the Personnel Office will furnish the performance evaluation register to supervisors in each department for their review. Following this, the evaluation results will undergo verification and approval. Subsequently, the evaluated employees will be notified of their individual evaluation results. Employees achieving a grade of A in the current year's performance evaluation may be eligible for a one-grade salary increase and a predetermined performance bonus. Those scoring below 75 points will be considered to have failed. Additionally, employees whose performance evaluation results place them in the bottom 3% or below 75 points will be issued a notice for performance improvement, subject to verification and approval. In such instances, affected employees are required to formulate improvement plans and seek counseling from their direct supervisors. No employees were mandated to create improvement plans following the evaluation for the 2022 academic year.
Regarding employee promotion and transfer, supervisors will recommend suitable employees according to the criteria for employee promotion and transfer. They should attach the relevant qualifications and submit the recommendations to the Personnel Office. Following the summary and review of performance evaluations from the last three consecutive years, promotion tests will be scheduled. The top-performing employees will then be evaluated and selected in accordance with the Measures for Rewarding Administrative Personnel with Excellent Services. These employees will be eligible to receive a medal and a reward of NT$50,000.
