The Evolution of TechTouch’s Culture & Environment

As the organization has significantly expanded, growing to about 240 employees, TechTouch has actively refined its culture and work environment over the past year. The aim is to ensure that even with a larger team, young professionals can continue to engage in ambitious challenges with high enthusiasm.

1. Revamped Evaluation System: Starting from March 2025, TechTouch introduced a revised evaluation system aimed at accurately recognizing employee growth, challenges, and achievements. This system incorporates a five-tier evaluation method with clearer criteria and enhanced transparency in the evaluation process, fostering an environment where employees are satisfied and ready to embrace their development.

2. Increased Communication Density: Faced with rapid expansion and office relocations, TechTouch has implemented various initiatives to maintain flat connections across departments and roles. These measures promote open communication in both online and offline settings, consistent with approaches initiated during TechTouch's founding years.

Specific Initiatives Include:
- Slack-Enabled Online Communication: Platforms like 'Times' allow employees to share insights and engage in casual conversations across teams.
- Quick 1-on-1 Chats: Programs to randomly match members for brief informal chats to foster interpersonal relationships.
- Offline Social Interactions: Innovative initiatives like the 'You Interest Me Vending Machine' that incentivize socializing over drinks and a reimbursement scheme for shared team lunches to encourage cross-team engagements.

3. Young Talent at the Core of Business Growth: TechTouch notably features a workforce where employees aged 34 and under comprise more than half of the staff, playing a critical role in the company’s advancement. With products including the AI-powered Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) and a range of innovative AI solutions like 'AI Central Voice,' young professionals are entrusted with significant responsibilities and roles that directly influence the success of these initiatives.

Members in their twenties are already taking on leadership roles, such as heading the product management department or serving as Chief of Staff for newer ventures, embodying the company's belief in providing equitable opportunities based on talent and ambition, irrespective of age.
