Taiwan Site‧Tsaotuen Corporate Occupational Health Nurses: Positive Thinking and Self Improvement
Most USI members' impressions of the corporate occupational health nurses may still be like nurses in the health center at school. In fact, their work is more extensive. In addition to the general treatment of work-related injuries, they must also take care of the physical and mental health of employees and assist USI to provide them with a friendly and healthy working environment. USI Newsletter will next interview the medical staff at different sites to get everyone to know more about their responsibilities and importance, and how they find their sense of accomplishment from work when facing different challenges.

Check the Workplace Stress Enjoy Your Work
In the busy and changing society, it is hard to avoid the stress in life, and even harder to avoid the generation of stress in the workplace. Researches suggest that there are simultaneously positive and negative influences of stress: workplace related stress can be viewed as the process of adaptation of workers triggered by the workplace. While the proper pressure motivates us and elevate our work efficiency, when the pressure generated in workplace exceeds the level a person can bear (such as working overtime or long night shifts) and becomes impossible for workers to readjust or adapt, negative effects occur on mental, physical, behavioral and cognitive levels. It affects the emotional stability of workers, or worse, it causes poor interpersonal interaction, affects work schedule or teamwork, and further becomes an important factor in reducing work productivity and service quality. It has a significant negative impact on both labor and management. Therefore, the "workplace stress" issue is getting more and more national and social attention.

Mainland China – Highlights of Individual Income Tax Reform and Taxation Planning
Since January 1st, 2019, the newly circular "Individual Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" and "Regulations for Implementation of the Individual Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" came into force. The revised income tax classification for the new individual income tax has been changed from classification taxation to the management mode that combines classification with comprehensiveness. The tax threshold is increased, income tax brackets of low and medium rates are expanded, and six special additional deductions are added. At the same time, in accordance with Caishui [2018] No. 164 - Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Connection of Preferential Policies after the Individual Income Tax Law Is Amended, prior to December 31st, 2021, for the annual one-off bonuses obtained by a resident individual, it can be taxed separately on the amount after divided by 12 months, or it can be included in the current comprehensive income. Therefore, the new individual income tax reform is beneficial for having more flexible individual income tax planning for wages and salaries. Under the premise of compliance with laws and regulations, from the perspective of improving employees' personal interests, the taxation is to reduce the tax burden of individual income tax and increase employees' income.

OFFICE CHAT ROOM
In the past, the performance evaluation focuses on requiring the employees to take responsibility for what they did throughout the year, but it could cause them to lose the chance of improving current or future performance. Therefore, the changes of performance management expect supervisors and employees to regularly have conversations on personal development. In other words, the focus of performance management is shifting from accountability to learning.
