Vietnam Excellence is organised by Anphabe, in coordination with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AmCham), the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham), and the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AusCham).

The COVID-19 pandemic, especially the fourth wave, has affected businesses significantly. Nestlé Vietnam has adjusted corporate governance and human resource management to reach significant achievements in nurturing its people and working culture.

"Nestlé Vietnam is one of three excellent enterprises in Workplace Wellbeing in 2021 with the 4T strategy (Finance – Mental – Emotional – Physical). We hope that the practical experiences of Nestlé Vietnam and other elite businesses this year will inspire the business community to take care of their workforce, contributing to improving internal cohesion and business performance,” says economist Bui Kim Thuy, senior representative in Vietnam of the US Business Council – ASEAN and member of the Harvard Advisory Council – Asia Pacific.

Truong Bich Dao, HR director at Nestlé Vietnam said, "Nestlé places top priority on the safety, health, and connection for all employees. To facilitate the goals, the company has adopted the 4T strategy including Finance (Tai chinh), Affection (Tinh cam), Spirit (Tinh than) and Fitness (The chat)."

In terms of Finance, the company offers competitive and performance-based compensation. Nestlé Vietnam believes this is important to start a good life for employees and their loved ones.

In terms of Affection, it encourages the team to dedicate their best without a lack of joy. Nestlé Vietnam builds a culture of transparency and trust with the spirit of "one team – one goal" and the attitude of "positive criticism – quick agreement – unanimous implementation".

Regarding Spirit, the company nurtures a diverse and inclusive environment, encouraging employees to confidently accompany the leadership team towards common results and make meaningful contributions to society.

With regards to Fitness, all Nestlé Vietnam employees are equipped with the knowledge to become an ambassador for a healthy lifestyle.

"The company has pooled our collective strength to maintain flexibility and smooth coordination between different departments. Thanks to the foundation of its workplace wellbeing, the company can protect the physical and mental health of employees during the pandemic. In addition, the company has also organised recognition and reward activities in a timely manner via online form to ensure basic rights and improve employee sentiment during the challenging time," she said.

This is also a testament to the working environment of Nestlé Vietnam, where every employee can #SparkYourWay to maximise their potential. They will be proud to be side by side with an excellent team of dedicated leaders and members who are constantly making efforts. Together, all employees can join hands with Nestlé in their daily efforts to improve the quality of life, contributing to a healthier and happier future for Vietnamese people.
