Ms. Nguyen Thu Trang, Country Head, PERM and HR Consulting Services, ManpowerGroup Vietnam shared: “To get beyond the pandemic, it is notable that leaders should focus on prioritizing emotional wellbeing with the same importance as physical and organizational measures and build resilience - in people and the organization.” She also mentioned key ways to make the next normal better for all, including encouraging all the workforce to reskill and engage in continuous learning in this changing world of work.Second, the pandemic is reshaping in-demand skills.

Nguyen, Director, Management Consulting, People & Organization, PwC Vietnam commented: “Value-based, empathetic leadership and emotional intelligence are what needed to get through and beyond the pandemic.

​How employees leave a company is just as important as how they are onboarded. As restructuring and redeployment becomes a reality for many companies and industries, there are many reasons to invest in outplacement to help transitioning employees through their next steps. Offering outplacement services means that those in transition get professional help in identifying and preparing their next career move. Here are important questions to ask before getting started with such a program. Why are you investing in outplacement? First and foremost, helping employees navigate their next steps after leaving the company is the right thing to do. It’s also key for maintaining trust in the employer. In today’s world of increased transparency due to social media and review sites such as Glassdoor, businesses must remember that former employees are critics and customers. Businesses must also consider boomerang workers, with the possibility that former employees represent talent for the future.  What do your employees really want? It’s not enough to provide employees with a financial package and send them on their way. Access to outplacement resources, including virtual coaching and training , is now more important than ever to candidates. Coaching provides the greatest benefit to candidates in transition – offering opportunity for individuals to explore their options with a qualified career coach. In fact, according to Right Management data, candidates who were “matched” to a coach in a specialized area of expertise landed 20% faster than those not matched. The focus for many outplacement discussions will be on upskilling or reskilling and highlighting areas for development that will help gain those skills and boost confidence and increase employability.  Are you communicating fairly and transparently? Communication is key for any change project, especially restructuring. Providing clarity from the outset is important to help individuals understand how they will be affected, as well as avoiding mixed messages travelling across the company. Answering difficult questions will help employees better understand the process. It’s also essential to communicate benefits of outplacement support to individuals and managers. What happens with the remaining employees? Organizations often focus on those exiting the business yet make little investment in those that have retained roles, despite the difficulties and increased expectations that may be placed on them. Developing an engagement strategy, including coaching and training, that covers all groups, especially those tasked with moving the organization forwards, is key. It’s critical that individuals understand the role they play and the value they bring in helping shape the path forward.  What are you looking for in an outplacement provider? An outplacement program designed to fit all needs is likely to suit none. Instead, focus on how an outplacement provider can tailor support to suit individual challenges. Consider whether the support includes a focus on transferable skills, the technology provided and ease of access, including virtual delivery, if participants can choose from a series of topics to suit their career goals, or if it’s scalable. Choosing a provider that meets employees where they are is critical to take the next steps.   There is no doubt that the employment market has changed overnight, and with that takes careful shepherding of employees to help them navigate the stages of their journey. Now more than ever employers who need to pursue outplacement services need help making critical decisions about the future, and it starts with asking the right questions. Access additional outplacement resources here.

We welcome international partners to share best practices and lessons on measures to help impacted workers and employers in Vietnam improve their resilience.”It was noted that unparalleled collaboration and coordination by diverse stakeholder groups, ranging from employers and governments to labor unions and institutes, is needed to prepare for the new normal in the workplace. “In this new reality, a disciplined return to work will be key to economic recovery.

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), May 14, 2020 – Today, ManpowerGroup Vietnam collaborated with American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in HCMC and organized “The Future Factory” webinar, discussing the impact of transformation on manufacturing organizations and mapping essential skills within the sector. The webinar welcomed Vice President, Manufacturing and Operations General Manager, Intel Products Vietnam - Mr Kim Huat Ooi and Technical Director of Nestlé Vietnam – Mr Todd Yates as honored guest speakers, sharing thought leadership in manufacturing along with Country Manager of ManpowerGroup Malaysia, Director & Executive Sponsor, TAPFIN – Asia Pacific & Middle East - Mr Sam Haggag.All around the world, new technologies are disrupting and transforming the industries, and manufacturing is no exception. As a result, almost half of all roles (49%) in manufacturing will need to change within the next three-to-five years. Especially the roles requiring advanced digital skills such as automation, instrumentation and robotics are on the rise.The disruption of new technologies transforming the manufacturing industry and impacting the need for more advanced digital manufacturing jobs also requires talent with more advanced skills.ManpowerGroup’s workforce analysis has identified 165 new and evolving roles across seven “domains” of technical expertise, including Digital Manufacturing; Digital Thread; Digital Enterprise; Digital Product; Digital Design; Supply Network; Omni, based on which manufacturing organizations can identify future talent needs.It was made clear that due to the technological disruption, employers need to develop a connected workforce strategy. As it gets challenging to find trained workers with necessary skills, organizations must build, bridge and borrow the skill sets they need, that will be critical for their success in the short, medium and long term.Mr. Sam Haggag highlighted that “On-the-job training increases the retention of talent with in-demand skills”. Given this context, companies need newer approach to accelerate upskilling and to develop the talent they need to remain competitive. The most effective skill development is achieved through shorter certification programs of six months or less.Mr. Nguyen Xuan Son, Operation Manager, Staffing and Outsourcing Services, ManpowerGroup shared: “Vietnam has steadily turned into a manufacturing hotspot in Asia, due to its relatively large and cost-competitive workforce, attractive tax regime, stable political environment, geographical advantages, and open trade policies. Foreign firms, including those from China, have planned to expand manufacturing operations in Vietnam in an effort to diversify supply chains. This will bring about great opportunities for Vietnam to develop manufacturing to the next level, creating thousands of meaningful jobs for the local workforce.”Explore our full report "The Future Factory" here.​About ManpowerGroupManpowerGroup® (NYSE: MAN), the leading global workforce solutions company, helps organizations transform in a fast-changing world of work by sourcing, assessing, developing and managing the talent that enables them to win.
