Nestlé Vietnam was honoured as the No.1 place to work in Vietnam in 2021

For the first time, Nestlé Vietnam was honoured as No.1 in the Top 100 Vietnam Best Places to Work 2021. The results are based on a survey conducted by Anphabe with over 65,000 working professionals nationwide.

This award is a testament to Nestlé’s constant efforts to become the most ideal workplace. Previously, Nestlé Vietnam was honoured in the top 3 Best Place To Work and top 1 Best Place To Work for multinational companies (MNCs) for several years.

Binu Jacob, managing director of Nestlé Vietnam said that, "Nestlé cooperates closely with partners in all activities in Vietnam to create shared value, contributing to the development of society while ensuring long-term success in business. We believe that sustainable development is not enough to have positive impacts on regenerating the ecosystem as well as conserving resources for the future."

“This is the new approach that Nestlé has incorporated into the company's sustainable development programmes and initiatives since 2020. Nestlé has determined to build a workpalce for employees and leaders to maxmise their talent, connecting with our common goal known as The Nest of Choice – the second home for employees,” he said.

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 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 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.

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.

Binu stated that, "We are committed to listening and improving working environment to become The Nest of of Choice which nurtures diversity and creativity where every employee can maximise their potential based on sustainable long-term value. Thus, they will feel proud to belong to Nestlé Vietnam.”
