The Youth Affairs Bureau of the Taoyuan City Government connects social enterprises and corporate resources through the Social Enterprise Center to help enterprises introduce the service experience and expertise accumulated by social enterprises based on actual operational needs. Recently, Tongniao Social Enterprise has cooperated with Shin Kong Life Insurance to reduce the information and communication barriers for visually impaired people to obtain financial security. It has also partnered with the Care for Sustainable Development Association and Tokyo Power Technology Co., Ltd. (TEL Taiwan) to provide stable employment opportunities for visually impaired masseurs, respectively, to implement corporate ESG from the perspective of financial equality and disability employment.
Youth Director Hou Jialing said that social enterprises have been deeply involved in different issues and service groups for a long time, and can help enterprises see the actual needs in the service process from the perspective of users. Tongniao Social Enterprise collaborated with Shin Kong Life and Hand Love Visually Impaired Life Care Association to hold the third "Financial Protection Network for the Disabled" event on September 24. Wei Baosheng, chairman of Shin Kong Life, attended the exchange and arranged insurance experience sharing, insurance product descriptions, underwriting consultation and policy health check-ups, and face-to-face communication between business and underwriting staff and the visually impaired. The first two events also had successful insurance cases for the visually impaired.

In terms of employment for the disabled, Care for Sustainable Development Association has long-term investment in the functional training of visually impaired masseurs. In addition to massage professionalism, it also includes training on workplace communication, work attitude and sexual harassment prevention. It also cooperates with TEL Taiwan to introduce visually impaired massage services into corporate employee health care. Currently, it has provided stable employment opportunities for 6 visually impaired masseurs in 6 venues, serving more than 72 hours per month. The two parties have renewed their cooperation for next year.
Hu Gengwei, chairman of the Care for Sustainable Development Association, said that when visually impaired masseurs enter the corporate workplace, in addition to professional skills, they must also possess workplace communication and related qualities. Therefore, the team must simultaneously strengthen training during the training process. By cooperating with TEL Taiwan, it not only provides stable job opportunities, but also allows companies to better understand the workplace needs of people with disabilities and gradually establish a sustainable cooperation model.
Hou Jialing said that the cooperation did not change the existing underwriting standards, but reduced information gaps and communication barriers based on consistent and reasonable risk assessment principles. Both of these cooperations are based on the actual needs of enterprises, introducing social enterprise expertise into corporate operations, and moving ESG from public welfare support to long-term cooperation. In the future, the city government will continue to help more social enterprises and enterprises establish cooperation models through social enterprise training, corporate matchmaking and market links to expand the substantive influence of social innovation.
