HCM CITY — Manulife Vietnam has been honoured as one of the best companies to work for in Asia 2024 by HR Asia magazine, marking the sixth consecutive year that the insurance company has received this prestigious award.

The “Best Companies To Work For in Asia” is an annual award organised by HR Asia magazine in 16 Asian countries, recognising companies with outstanding human resources policies, strong corporate cultures, and excellent working environments.

In Việt Nam, this year, HR Asia surveyed over 53,250 employees from more than 700 companies to nominate 130 companies across various industries.

William Ng, Editor-in-Chief of HR Asia Magazine and Chairman of the HR Asia Awards Judging Board, said: “Not only does Manulife Vietnam meet the stringent criteria in our independent research and surveys, but the company also continuously introduces new HR policies and initiatives each year.

“An effective HR strategy is one of the reasons why Manulife has consistently maintained its leading position in the Vietnamese insurance market for many years.”

With the theme “The Definitive Z Choice”, this year’s award emphasises the importance of Gen Z – a dynamic, innovative workforce that currently accounts for about 25 per cent of the country’s labour force.

Manulife Vietnam is proud to be recognised for fostering an inclusive workplace that values employees of all generations. A clear example is the recent Manulife Future Leaders 2024 programme, which attracted 1,000 Gen Z applicants and reached over 10,000 university students nationwide.

Leveraging workplace culture as a competitive advantage, Manulife Vietnam has cultivated a culture centred around its workforce, built upon the core values of ownership, innovation and customer-centricity.

“In an industry that emphasises humanity like insurance, people are the core factor for success,” said Tôn Thất Anh Vũ, Manulife Vietnam’s Chief Human Resources Officer.

“At Manulife, we recognise the value of each individual and prioritise employee development. In addition to providing a professional work environment and attractive benefits, we foster a culture where employees are encouraged to take ownership of their work, generate new ideas, and contribute to enhancing customer service. The collective growth of employees fuels company success.” 

Over the past year, Manulife Vietnam has implemented various initiatives to strengthen employee engagement and development. These include interactive sessions like “Coffee Chat with EMT”, “Global Colleague Forums”, “Quarterly Leadership Connect”, “Easier. Better. Faster”, and “Afternoon Tea of DEI”,  which enable employees to connect with senior leadership and colleagues worldwide.

Furthermore, the combination of educational and well-being programmes like “Better Me”, “Pursuit Learning Week”, and monthly “Fuel-up Friday” encourage continuous learning and personal growth among the workforce. Accordingly, individuals who studied the most hours also receive special recognition throughout the “ManPower Super Learner” award.

As the largest foreign-owned life insurer in Việt Nam, Manulife is a sought-after employer in the insurance industry with attractive human resources policies.

With over 1,000 employees, along with a large team of professional agents and advisors from both agency channels and bank partners, Manulife Vietnam is currently serving nearly 1.5 million customers through its extensive network of modern offices nationwide. — VNS
