ABOUT

THE EVENT

2021 was a year that saw many companies grapple with constant changes. Companies pivoted their business models, restructured its operations and shifted work arrangements. The demands of a new hybrid workplace due to the impact of Covid-19 saw many workplaces adapt to new working arrangements, allowing employees to balance being at work physically or to work remotely.

As challenging as it may be, many companies acknowledged that the past two years were opportunities for adapting and enabling, staying focused on a top and bottom-line growth while remaining committed to its employees and their well-being. Companies and its leadership, middle managers and human resources professionals ensured that the workplace was relevant to employees in a work environment that calls for a flexible, open and high-trusting culture.

Our inaugural 2022 list of Vietnam Best Workplaces™ kickstarts with honoring the companies who collectively made their organization one that is a great place to work For ALL™. They empower all individuals to reach their full human potential while achieving the growth that is needed for every company. How do they do it and what are their best practices?

Come join us on 12 May as Great Place to Work® Vietnam unveils the 2022 Best Workplaces™ in Vietnam.

PANEL

DISCUSSION

Employee Engagement in the "New Normal"

Employee engagement is no longer just a fundamental concept, it has become a workplace benchmark and reality. Companies who place their people first have seen a reciprocal relationship in terms of work performance and talent retention. Employees in turn have a sense of equity, purpose, meaningful connections and a trust in leadership.

The Covid-19 pandemic and changing work patterns play a big factor in promoting employee enagement by defining the employee experience in the workplace. At a time when remote or hybrid work is the new normal, companies, leaders and HR practitioners have a role to play in providing a positive employee experience. This is seen increasingly through the remote-work employee’s touchpoints with the team, direct manager and the bigger organisation.

In line with this year’s theme People First, Purpose Driven, the panel seeks to discuss how each company enables employee engagement through the sharing of business practices, research and employee experiences. In this discussion, we find out if businesses can pursue innovation, increase productivity, control voluntary turnover rate, level up customer satisfaction and improve bottom line through key indicators such as a sense of purpose, innovation opportunities, psychological workplace safety and perceptions of leaders and fairness perceived at different touchpoints. These conversations and touchpoints will in turn act as enablers to help businesses thrive.

Vietnam Best Workplaces™ 2022 Methodology

Employees respond to over 60 survey questions describing the extent to which their organization creates a great place to work For All™️.

85% of the evaluation is based on what employees say about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization, no matter who they are or what they do.

Great Place to Work® analyzes these experiences relative to each organization’s size, workforce make up, and what’s typical in their industry. The remaining 15% of the rank is based on an assessment of all employees’ daily experiences of innovation, company values, and the effectiveness of their leaders to ensure these are consistently experienced.

To be considered, companies had to meet the Great Place to Work-Certified™standard. Trust Index©️ survey results are accurate to a 95% confidence level with a 5% margin of error or better to ensure the survey results truly represent all employees.

We review any anomalies in survey responses, news and financial performance to ensure there aren’t any extraordinary reasons to believe we couldn’t trust a company’s survey results.

Companies with 10 to 99 people were considered for the Small category.

Companies with 100 employees or more were considered for the Medium and Large category.
