Diageo recognised as one of the world’s best multinational workplaces

This year, the company was listed in ninth place on the list of the 25 world’s best multinational workplaces. It is ranked alongside global conglomerates such as Microsoft, Google, Marriott and Federal Express. Especially, Diageo is the only drinks company to make it into the top 10 and also for the second consecutive year, the highest rated Europe-based company on the list. Last year, it was ranked 11th.

This shows that Diageo and its affiliates worldwide, including Diageo Vietnam, are ideal choices for talented employees around the world to work for.

Stephane Gripon, general manager of Diageo Vietnam, said: “This honour is a source of great pride of the group in general and Diageo Vietnam’s employees in particular who have engaged in building up a world class working environment in Vietnam.”

“Like our parent company, Diageo Vietnam has set a target to build and develop human resources who will perform to the highest levels, have great leadership skills and help create an environment of integration,” said Tran Thi Ai Lien, personnel director of Diageo Vietnam.

Lien added that at Diageo Vietnam, the top priorities in its financial year of 2013 are employee development and working environment improvement. Accordingly, we want to build an environment that ensures all our team feels belonged, valued and they have a voice as well as follow the highest level of compliance. This will be the foundation to create effectiveness in work, competitive advantages in the market and long-term sustainability of the business.
