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.

​MILWAUKEE, WI (January 17, 2020) — Global talent shortages have almost doubled in the last decade according to new research from ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) released ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos next week. 54% of companies report skills shortages with businesses in 36 of 44 countries finding it more difficult to attract skilled talent than in 2018. Employers in the U.S. (69%), Mexico (52%) Italy (47%) and Spain (41%) report the most acute shortages.Closing the Skills Gap: What Workers Want reveals what attracts people to an organization and what makes them stay so that businesses can find, build and keep the best talent. While what workers want varies by geography, gender and at different stages of career cycles the research finds autonomy over when and where work gets done, wellbeing to balance work and life and career mobility to build skills are top priorities alongside strong leadership and a commitment to purpose.“In an increasingly tech-enabled world, people with skills are in demand.” Said Jonas Prising, Chairman & CEO. “We know from conversations with candidates, clients and from our data that workers want flexibility and the opportunity to learn new skills. Ahead of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos next week, we are calling for leaders to shift their workforce demands closer to the needs of in-demand talent. Creating shareholder value can only be done in conjunction with taking care of employees, customers and communities, so listening to the voice of the consumer is key. As the pace of disruption accelerates helping people adapt for future jobs and companies become creators of talent has never been more important.”Closing the Skills Gap: What Workers Want finds that what workers want varies by geography, gender and at different stages of career cycles:Gen Zs (age 18-24) are ambitious, hungry for cash and career development, yet already, women and men have differing desires. Women prioritize pay twice as much as their next priority — developing skills — while men say skills and career matter almost as much as pay.Millennials (25-34) want flexibility and challenging work; women say flexibility is a necessity, whereas it’s still a nice-to-have for men.Younger Xers (35-44) are on a quest for balance. Men prioritize flexibility as much as women and want the ability to work remotely, their share of parental leave and a flexible start and end to their day.Boomers (age 55-64 and 65+) are driven by pay, challenging work and flexibility though they place the highest priority on leadership and teams. Older workers want to pay it forward: the over 65s are most motivated by purpose.

​ManpowerGroup convenes leaders from Government and Businesses to discuss Talent Strategy and integration with European Market. Workshop is hosted in partnership with Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to update employers on the impact of new regulations happening on workforce planning and skills development Hanoi, 17/9/2019. ManpowerGroup Vietnam, in collaboration with Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) hosts the Workshop "EU – Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA): Opportunities and Challenges for Vietnamese Workforce" with the attendance of over 100 representatives from WTO Integration Center under VCCI; Department of Legal Affairs under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs; European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham), NHO, GIZ, NGOs, local and international associations and enterprises. The workshop is aimed at increasing the awareness among enterprises on opportunities and challenges of EVFTA's impacts on the Vietnamese workforce. The distinguished representatives will also discuss the implications of Vietnam’s revised Labor Code in the context of increased international integration and the 4th industrial revolution. By eliminating up to 99% of export tariffs, EVFTA will provide Vietnamese companies with competitive prices when they export goods to European markets. This is expected to bring tens of thousands of new job opportunities per year and increase income for Vietnamese workforce. Notably, outstanding impact is recorded in manufacturing industries such as textiles, footwear, furniture and seafood. However, Vietnam businesses are foreseen to face harsh competition in terms of workforce, especially challenges of securing highly skilled workforce to meet the increasingly stringent quality requirements of commodities and services for the European market.EVFTA is considered a new-generation FTA since one of its aims is to enforce labor and environmental standards. Vietnam and the EU have agreed on a procedure committed to recognize, facilitate four basic labor standards by ILO 1998 Declaration (including freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining; the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labor; the effective abolition of child labor; and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation). These commitments compel the Vietnamese government to review policies and revise the Labor Code so as to make appropriate adjustments. This opens up opportunities as well as challenges to enterprises as they have to change to meet the commitments. However, by complying with these commitments, Vietnam is also given an opportunity to develop a sustainable and well-balanced labor market, which provides both local workforce and enterprises long-term benefits.At the workshop, the experts say opportunities that EVFTA gives Vietnam companies are significant, provided, employers have the right workforce to maximize opportunities. However, to achieve such potential, companies need to adjust their current talent development strategy. Mr. Simon Matthews, Country Manager ManpowerGroup Vietnam, Thailand and Middle East, says: “To achieve business growth in the context of increased international integration, talent development must be the first priority of enterprises. To be successful, organizations must have the right talent strategy, of which the development of internal employees plays an important role.” According to Humans Wanted, Robots Need You global research by ManpowerGroup, up to 84% of companies worldwide will invest in training their employees in 2020. During the workshop Mr Matthews also shares practical guidance for employers to develop tomorrow’s talent by Build, Buy, Borrow and Bridge to ensure sufficient workforce in the current state of Vietnam’s serious skilled workforce shortage.​About ManpowerGroupManpowerGroup® (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.
