Borderless Future Vision: Connecting Beyond Boundaries

At the event, Ms. Trinh Mai Phuong, head of Human Resources at Unilever Vietnam, and Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tan, head of Finance, participated in a duo-talk “Borderless Future”. During this special presentation, the concept of “Borderless Future” was introduced as an innovative strategy, redefining how people work and connect in the digital age.

In her remarks, Ms. Trinh Mai Phuong emphasised that shifting workplace culture towards flexibility is essential for successful digital transformation.

Systems like End-to-End (E2E) optimise processes from recruitment to human resource management, delivering seamless experiences for employees and the organisation.

Tan also stressed that businesses that maximise digital transformation to adapt their business models and enhance core competencies will have greater chances of succeeding in an unpredictable global business environment.

Resilience and Agility

In today’s market, resilience and operational agility have become essential survival factors for businesses.

Many large companies, including Unilever, have transitioned from traditional organisational structures to cross-functional teams, enabling them to address complex issues quickly and foster a stronger spirit of internal collaboration.

Concepts like “test and learn” are being widely adopted, not only at Unilever but also among many pioneering businesses. This approach encourages employees to experiment with new ideas and learn from failures, helping organisations sustain innovation in a constantly evolving market.

Continuous Learning

With this as the background, investing in learning and development has become a key element of HR strategy. At Unilever, employees are provided with opportunities to engage in international projects, which allow them to access global knowledge and trends while expanding their multicultural working skills.

At the Top 1 Best Places to Work in Vietnam 2024 Summit, Ms. Trinh Mai Phuong proudly said Unilever’s success today is not only the result of unwavering efforts from a large team but also a testament to the effective and flexible leadership of Unilever Vietnam’s Board of Directors.

“We always place consumers at the heart of every development strategy and consider people as the solid foundation for the company’s growth.”

This is one of the factors that make Unilever a highly sought-after employer, particularly among young professionals. A clear example of this is Unilever’s recognition as the Best Employer at the Vietnam HR Awards in 2022.

The ideal workplace for the new generation

In recent years, Unilever has paid special attention to the younger workforce and their unique values and aspirations. This new generation is not just seeking a job; they want to work in an environment that inspires and carries meaning.

To meet these expectations, Unilever has built modern digital platforms to enable employees to work efficiently and creatively. At the same time, the company has developed personalised career pathways to help young employees orient themselves and grow.

The Top 1 Best Places to Work in Vietnam 2024 award not only solidifies Unilever’s leading position in the FMCG sector but also highlights the sustainable values built from within the organisation.

With a strong focus on people, Unilever affirms its position as the most ideal workplace for everyone, especially for the next generation of talented professionals.
