Experienced speakers, who are from leading global workforce solutions company ManpowerGroup Vietnam, Senior Advisor, Organization and HC Transformation, Management Consulting and PYS Travel shared stories about how their businesses steered their "personnel boat" throughout 2020.The latest research from ManpowerGroup, “TheFuture for Workers, By Workers” shows that a small part of the world's population is infected with COVID-19, but the majority (93%) will be affected by this pandemic. The pandemic that started as a health crisis is now bringing along social and economic crises. ManpowerGroup Vietnam's “Vietnam Employment Outlook Survey In The New Normal” revealed that more than 27% of businesses in Vietnam are seriously impacted by the crisis and nearly 7% of them face the risk of complete business discontinuation (*).However, according to our survey, domestic employers sharedpositive recruitment trends with 38.6% expecting that their hiring would return to normal as it wasbefore COVID-19, within the the next three months.

Businesses need to adjust their strategies and policies to attract and retain talent in this uncertainty. Specifically, businesses need to develop flexible strategies for talent management, prioritize necessary tasks, identifying and communicating responsibility to stakeholders”Now and more than ever, business leaders need to proactively establish flexible and responsive principles to steer their business through the crisis with safety and success. This is also the time to reconsider how people work, are recognized and rewarded. With employees at the center, organizations should turn into well-being experts, and even education advisers. Mr. Trinh Dinh Minhrepresenting PYS Travel alsoagreed that “In order to overcome the crisis, leadership role as well as corporate culture are key factors to help businesses be resilient in uncertain times.”(*) Vietnam Employment Outlook Survey - Second Half of 2020 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.

ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) Talent Solutions' unique Total Workforce Index™ (TWI) combines Big Data with expert analysis to identify the workforce engagement potential of 76 markets. This year the annual TWI report finds United States, New Zealand and Canada are most attractive for employer investment based on 200 factors evaluating skills availability, cost efficiency, regulation, and productivity. In an increasingly complex global market, access to skilled talent is a top priority for organizations looking to build or grow their business. For this year’s analysis, ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions took a deeper look at talent availability, comparing the percentage of remote-ready workforces in different markets and exploring the availability of cybersecurity resources. IT skills, particularly those that support remote work such as cybersecurity, continue to be in demand, along with an ongoing need for medical, operations and logistics and those roles deemed essential. New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and South Korea are the top markets in the APAC region. Singapore and Hong Kong rank highly for workforce productivity. The top five markets consistently outperform both India and China which in the past have received most of the attention, due in part to the size of their workforce. They present a combination of quality skills, capability, English proficiency and availability plus a more flexible regulatory environment. Mr. Simon Matthews, Regional Manager, ManpowerGroup Thailand, Vietnam and The Middle East said, "In this changing world of work, especially under the impact of the global pandemic, new arising in-demand skills are transforming the workforce landscape. Employers are thinking long-term when it comes to their entire workforce. We have proven businesses can run in a different way. It’s important to not only identify what’s sustainable in this new normal, but to bridge the skills and technology needed to realistically sustain these new ways of working.” The TWI 2020 also identifies the top five markets globally for Cost Efficiency: the Philippines, Croatia, Morocco, Vietnam and Thailand. These markets are driven by favorable country dynamics, such as cost of labor and regulations. Vietnamese average monthly wage stands at USD 321/month in 2020, which has increased by 32.6% compared to 2019, while regional average is USD 1,835 /month.

​Ho Chi Minh City, 9th December 2020 – Today, ManpowerGroup Vietnam partnered with Vietnam Human Resources Association (VNHR) to organize “From Crisis to Prosperity” webinar. The online event is aimed at sharing HR’s role in helping organizations overcome the health, economic and social crisis amidst the pandemic. Experienced speakers from leading Staffing and HR Consulting service (ManpowerGroup Vietnam), international Food & Beverage company (Nestle Vietnam) and leading Insurance and Hospitality group (Sovico) also shared success stories on overcoming the crisis in their respective industries.The latest research from ManpowerGroup, “The Future for Workers, by Workers” revealed that a small proportion of the population is infected by COVID-19, but almost all (93%) will be impacted. The pandemic which began as a health crisis is now playing out as an economic and social crisis. ManpowerGroup Vietnam’s latest survey also revealed that more than 27% of employers were severely affected and nearly 7% were hardest hit, causing them to face possible closures (*).Against this setting, HR’s role has become more critical than ever in helping companies navigate through this crisis. HR leaders have turned into well-being experts and education advisers to help people stay employed and safe. Taking into consideration the speed, scale and other major impacts that are likely to last long term by this pandemic, now, more than ever before, business leaders need to know what to do and how to adapt to the changes. Businesses must be clear on what decisions need to be made to maintain their operations, to ensure minimal damages, if any, for their stakeholders.Ms. Nguyen Thanh Huong, Country HR Manager, ManpowerGroup Vietnam, shared: “Given the impact of COVID-19, HR leaders need to look at their role as well-being experts in their organization, apart from traditional roles. Especially, they need to understand working parents’ needs, i.e. what matters most to them at the Workplace, at Home and in the Future. Now is the time to rethink the way people work, are recognized and rewarded with parents’ front and center, particularly for women.”Right now, business leaders need to proactively establish agile principles and respond faster to steer safely and be successful. Ms. Truong Bich Dao, Human Resources Director, Nestlé Vietnam, agreed that every business faces the risks of human resources disruption, especially in the most heavily impacted industries. However, HR leaders should not just handle this crisis on where it impacts the most, but they should also strive to work on the opportunities that can be created to support their business be more successful.(*) Vietnam Employment Outlook Survey conducted in the Second Half 2020About 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.

These businesses operate in Processing & Manufacturing, Wholesale, Retail & Trading, Information & Communications Technology and Healthcare & Life Sciences. When asked about hiring prospects in the later part of 2020 compared to the first half of 2020, more than 44% of respondents forecasted their hiring activities would decrease. However, 29% of surveyed employers reported an increase in hiring intentions, while a similar number of respondents (around 27%) noted no change in recruitment activities.Employment forecast In our survey, Vietnamese employers also indicated positive hiring outlook with 38.6% of respondents expecting that their hiring activities will return to pre-COVID-19 level in the next three months.

​Ho Chi Minh City, 17th November 2020 – Today, ManpowerGroup Vietnam partnered with American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) to organize a hybrid virtual event titled “Unleashing New Waves of Women Leaders”. The attendants got to know why organizations should better promote female leaders and identified the obstacles in closing the gender gaps. They also discussed programs to overcome gender bias for better organizational performance.Today, women make up more than 50% of the global workforce, but less than 25% of women have senior leadership roles. Commenting on this reality, Ms. Uyen Ho, Director, Global Public Affairs, Intel Products Vietnam & Malaysia shared that organizations and companies should know why they need to promote female leaders, what challenges await and how to help women realize their fullest potential as they deserve equal opportunities with men. Ms Linh Thai, Investor, Mentor and Mother, highlighted that it’s now time for leaders to see the obstacles and take proper actions to overcome the gender barriers, which will help improve the organizational performance.There are even more obstacles now because of COVID-19 pandemic. The latest research “The Future for Workers, by Workers” by ManpowerGroup reveals that women are impacted on a longer term by the economic and social crisis than men. They are more likely to be furloughed, more concerned about going back to the workplace and over-represented in sectors most impacted by COVID-19.Ms. Carine Rolland, People & Culture Director, Asia Pacific & Middle East, ManpowerGroup said: “Leaders should understand women’s needs to avoid assumptions and prevent unconscious biases while deploying flexible working and policies that help women stay safe and unleash their fullest potential.” She also highlighted that the first step to overcoming these biases is to acknowledge that we have them. Challenging our own assumptions means being aware of our biases and course-correcting for them.Among the solutions for more women in leadership, leaders should hire more, promote more, and lose less. And instead of saying things like: “she doesn’t have the experience,” we need to ask: “what do we need to make it work?” and only then can we see ways around these cultural stumbling blocks. Last but not least, it’s so critical for male leaders to champion this issue, Ms Carine Rolland added.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.

​A dramatic workforce transformation is happening in front of our eyes. Work literally left the building and whole industries are disrupting at speeds never seen before.In these unpredictable times, one thing is certain – this crisis should be a catalyst for a new future of work, that is more flexible, more diverse and more wellbeing-oriented than we could ever have imagined.To find out how this crisis is accelerating What Workers Want, ManpowerGroup asked more than 8,000 people in 8 countries about the future for workers.Download the results for fresh insight into how  this next normal might eventually be better for everyone.DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT---------------------------------------1. COVID-19: Global Impact At WorkKeeping their job is a top priority for workers everywhere. After health concerns, workers are most worried about returning to an old way of working, losing the flexibility they have gained. Work-life balance shows its importance with 8 in 10 people asked want more remote work to better balance family life - and most believe they’ll have a better work life blend going forward. 43% workers asked also agree that the crisis marks the end of the full-time work in the office.​​2. Celebrate or Commiserate - Returning to the WorkplaceAs lockdowns lift and restrictions ease, workers want to feel reassured that health, safety and wellbeing comes first when returning to the workplace. Trust and transparency have never been more important and the best employers know they need data and insight to instill confidence. Pulse surveys, feedback channels, consultation and communication are critical.3. Acceleration of Inequity - More Haves, Even More Have NotsWorkers are united in what they want for the future – to keep their job, stay healthy, learn and keep developing skills, and to not go back to the old way of working. Yet look closer and an even greater bifurcation within the workforce looks likely. Those with in-demand skills can call the salary shots, work remotely, avoid the commute and stay safe at home. Those with declining skills are required to commute to work onsite, and subject to even greater exposure.4. The Great Skills Shift: How COVID-19 is Reshaping In-Demand SkillsThe biggest workforce shift and reallocation of skills since World War II began in March. Skills that were en vogue in 2019 might now be out of fashion; and the shift is swift - even those skills most in demand in the early phase of the crisis are different to demand emerging now and expected in future.This crisis is accelerating the demand for technical and human skills that we have been tracking and predicting for some time. Acute skills shortages are exacerbating in tech – demand for cyber security, software development and data analysts continue unabated. And there is rising demand too for human or power skills - in times of rapid transformation and uncertainty these so-called soft skills are more important than ever in workers and in leaders.​​
