我國的人壽保險市場，隨著國際化及自由化趨勢，在主管機關開放國人與外商可在台灣設立公司經營壽險業務之下，已進入了群雄爭霸的狀態。但隨者經濟環境的變遷，微利時代的來臨，導致壽險公司的經營成本大增，經營的方式也發生劇變，近年來卻興起一股併購的風潮；因此，未來台灣的壽險市場，將更重視組織發展及人力資源的最有效運用，以求在激烈的競爭中立於不敗之地。 在政府擴大適用勞基法，將各行業均納入勞基法的規範，其本意是希望能維持和諧的勞資關係，藉以保障弱勢的勞工。民國八十七年四月一日將「保險業」正式納入實施範圍後，在壽險界引起軒然大波，並產生莫大的衝擊，甚至發生外勤職員的街頭抗爭活動。因此，本研究將對勞基法實施的目的與意義作詳盡的分析，期能從勞基法的規範中，尋求壽險公司與外勤職員對壽險業納入勞基法後的因應對策。 壽險公司對外勤職員的「退休規劃」非常重視，若不預先作準備則將措手不及；而退休規劃需要靠「時間與複利」的累積，以彰顯其成果。因此要有外勤職員認同的退休制度，及能符合需要的激勵方式，才能充分發揮人力資源的功效，並為公司創造輝煌的經營成果。 本研究主要探討勞工退休金制度的發展及勞動基準法制定的背景，分析我國勞基法實施的適當性；並以兩個案公司—「南山人壽與ING安泰人壽」為代表，將公司的沿革、經營理念、組織結構與外勤職員的工作特性、薪資及退休制度等作為研究架構，對「外勤職員的退休制度」作相關的實證分析，評估勞基法適用壽險公司外勤職員之衝擊程度及後續影響，作成結論並提出建議供相關單位參考。 關鍵字：外勤職員、退休制度、勞基法、南山人壽、ING安泰人壽 / Following the trend of internationalization and deregulation, many new life insurance companies were set up in Taiwan under such circumstances.
