RMIT Vietnam recognised as one of Asia’s top employers of choice

RMIT Vietnam has once again been named one of the ‘Best Companies to Work for in Asia’ in the category of the Most Caring Company Awards.

Covering 16 Asian countries and markets across the region, HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards surveyed and ranked organisations with high levels of employee engagement and excellent workplace cultures.

The organisers noted a significant increase in nominations this year, highlighting the rising importance of workplace excellence in the region. With 704 companies striving for recognition, it is evident there is a strong ambition to be acknowledged as leaders in employee satisfaction, welfare, and development.

A total of 53,250 survey participants offered their valuable insights and experiences, giving a comprehensive overview of the workplace landscape in Vietnam. Their input not only demonstrates a commitment to improving workplace environments but also underscores the importance of the employee voice in shaping organisational culture and practices.

A total of 130 outstanding companies have been recognised for their exemplary HR practices, showcasing their dedication to fostering a vibrant and diverse workplace environment.

Under the theme of ‘The Definitive Z Choice’, this year winners reflect the challenges and opportunities presented by the influx of Gen-Z, creating a multi-generational workforce. The winning companies have not only demonstrated exceptional prowess in hiring and retaining young talent, but also in creating a workplace culture that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous innovation, setting a benchmark for others in the industry.

RMIT Vietnam was named one of the ‘Best Companies to Work for’ under the category of the Most Caring Company Awards. This award recognises organisations that have demonstrated exceptional care for their employees, particularly during difficult times.

The University has introduced many initiatives which showcase our ongoing commitment to the wellbeing and development of our staff, ensuring we foster an environment that is inclusive, innovative, supportive, and impactful not only for our staff but also for the community we serve.

RMIT Vietnam Interim Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Julia Gaimster said: “RMIT’s culture is built on shared purpose, mutual respect and trust in people, whose capabilities, tools and practices are critical to its success over the years. Being recognised among the Best Companies to Work for in Asia is a motivation for us to continue providing the best workplace possible. We will work to attract and retain talented people who want to build careers, provide leadership and create opportunities at a university renowned for its impact in Australia, Asia and beyond.”

The Vietnam award winners have shown an unwavering dedication to employee satisfaction, welfare, and development. These organisations have set the standard for others to follow by fostering a positive work environment that promotes growth and excellence, the organisers said.

RMIT University Vietnam previously won the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia award in 2020 and 2023, being the first university to do so since the awards came to Vietnam in 2018.

The University currently employs 1,300 staff members in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Danang.
