It has contributed to creating a strong foundation for developing HR sector in Việt Nam, she said.

The MOLISA has stated that training and developing manpower, especially high-quality manpower, is its main priority this year.

“It is an urgent and strategic issue, and also measures increases in labour productivity and resolves unemployment,” said Hà.

“To access and adapt to the Industrial Revolution 4.0, developing high-quality manpower is an important duty. In the revolution, vocational training schools and enterprises are the two main factors,” she said.

Nguyễn Trung Chính, Acting Editor-in-chief of the Labour and Social Affairs newspaper, head of the organising committee, said when enterprises want to grow, the first thing they should do is stabilise their manpower and set a strategy to develop their HR capacity.

“Enterprises should follow legitimate references like the Vietnam HR Awards to update their information on the labour market and new trends in HR management,” he said.

Tiêu Yến Trinh, general director of the Talentnet Corporation and deputy head of the organising committee, said setting up an effective and balanced HR strategy was one of the most important priorities of multi-national enterprises and Vietnamese ones.

The awards hope to provide more opportunities for enterprises to exchange information and experiences and create a valuable foundation for HR sector in Việt Nam. — VNS
