                        SUMMARY:Monthly Business Meeting | Human Resource Updates & Trends in Vietnam
                        DESCRIPTION:<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>GBA Monthly Business Meeting | Human Resource Updates &amp; Trends in Vietnam</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Vietnam’s Labor market is in what is commonly called the ‘golden population period’ (high percentage of working age adults). This has created great opportunities for foreign firms to utilize an abundance of local labor. The pandemic, however, changed the labor market in Vietnam considerably. There has also been a significant shift of human resources between some sectors, for example: Information technology, tourism, and manufacturing sector. Moving forward, foreign firms operating in Vietnam may need to adjust their HR processes and procedures to meet the demands of this new labor market. They should also be aware of alternative, low-risk ways to access Vietnam’s labor market that can give them an edge entering Southeast Asia, such as Global Staffing Solutions.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In the GBA monthly business meeting in May, we cover what’s happened to Vietnam’s labor market, employee expectations moving forward, and how international and local firms can go about attract and retain talents.</span>
