Allocation for internal resources and outsources: HR has received many requests for a work-life balance, together with the pressure from the great labor crisis has brought 2 main challenges to business: talent retention and allocation. Therefore, the outsourcing trend becomes a business trend while facing these challenges.

Listening: 97% of managers say their business is preparing for a total transformation this year. Start listening to your employees can be considered one of the fundamental steps to create an ideal workplace.

Reset for relevance: The number one priority for businesses in 2022 is to provide strategic workforce planning.

From the 5 identified pillars, Vietnam HR Awards – the first and only award on human resource strategy in Vietnam, the 5th season returns with 6 brand new categories selected by our caliber experts and promise to bring all the impactful human capital strategies together while making them the role models of HR strategies in the new now.

According to Mr. Alain Cany – Chairman of Eurocham Vietnam and  Jardine Matheson Vietnam, it is rare for companies to effectively create and implement creative and genuine HR initiatives.
