VIMID Affirms Leading Position Through a Strategic Commitment to Human Capital Development

Enterprise of Choice is a reputable, non-profit survey conducted by CareerViet, with methodological support from market research firm Amco Vietnam. The results reflect employees’ assessments of companies and recognise organisations that have established a strong reputation and appeal in the labour market.

A company’s appeal as an employer is shaped not only by its brand position but also by the value it offers employees, including career development opportunities, a professional working environment, competitive remuneration and a clear development pathway. For VIMID, being recognised in the Enterprise of Choice ranking for three consecutive years is a significant and proud milestone, reflecting the Company’s sustained efforts to improve workplace conditions, develop its workforce and foster lasting relationships between the business and its employees.

At Enterprise of Choice 2026, VIMID proudly secured a place in the Top 35 Most Preferred Employers among medium-sized enterprises and, notably, retained its No. 1 ranking in the Mechanical Engineering – Automotive – Automation sector for the third consecutive year. This recognition reflects the Company’s efforts to provide stable employment, income and employee benefits; comply with labour laws and regulations; promote dialogue and collective bargaining; and strengthen the role of its grassroots trade union organisation. VIMID also continues to advance innovation, technology adoption and digital transformation, improving management effectiveness and establishing a foundation for long-term development.

As the labour market increasingly places greater emphasis on workplace quality and career development opportunities, this recognition reinforces VIMID’s position in the sector and motivates the Company to continue building a highly capable workforce that can meet the evolving demands of its commercial vehicle business, distribution network and after-sales service operations.

Putting People at the Centre of Sustainable Development Strategy 

As part of the long-term development strategy and commitment to creating lasting value, VIMID identifies people as a core foundation for strengthening competitiveness and achieving its strategic objectives. The Company focuses on fostering a professional, safe, respectful and open working environment that encourages accountability, initiative, creativity and collaboration. These principles provide an important foundation for building a stable, cohesive workforce and sustaining human capital quality over the long term.

Alongside efforts to improve workplace conditions, VIMID places considerable emphasis on remuneration, employee benefits and income, with the aim of providing job security and long-term career opportunities. These efforts are reflected in tangible results: in 2025, the Company’s workforce grew by 12.6% compared with 2024, while average employee income increased by 41.3%. These figures demonstrate VIMID’s commitment to improving employee earnings and well-being while advancing workforce development in parallel with the Company’s business expansion.

Investing in Training to Strengthen Workforce Capabilities

Given the nature of commercial vehicle business, human capital quality plays a critical role in operational performance, service quality and the ability to meet customer needs. Accordingly, VIMID closely aligns workforce development and training with its business expansion strategy and efforts to strengthen competitiveness, ensuring that training programmes address the practical requirements of individual roles.

VIMID prioritises internal training, professional guidance, technical skills development and management capability building, enabling employees to strengthen their competencies and respond to increasingly demanding workplace requirements. In particular, for its technical workforce, the Company maintains regular training programmes and annual skills competitions, providing a platform for employees to exchange experience, update their product knowledge, reinforce technical expertise and improve practical skills.

By aligning training with practical requirements, encouraging continuous learning and innovation, and creating opportunities for employees to demonstrate their capabilities, VIMID is progressively building a workforce with strong professional expertise, high standards of conduct and the ability to adapt to market developments. These efforts strengthen the capabilities of the existing workforce while nurturing promising talent and preparing the next generation of employees to support the Company’s long-term growth.

VIMERS Culture – Embedding Values and Building Internal Strength

To ensure that workforce development delivers lasting value, VIMID has established its corporate culture around six core values embodied in VIMERS: VALUE, INDEPENDENT, MENTAL, EQUAL, RELIABLE and SHARE. These values are embedded across the Company’s activities, guiding employees’ thinking, actions and collaboration in the workplace.

On this foundation, VIMID continues to foster a cohesive working environment where individuals have opportunities to develop their capabilities, contribute meaningful value and grow alongside the Company. VIMERS serves as a source of internal strength, reinforcing employee engagement, improving operational effectiveness and motivating VIMID to pursue its long-term development objectives.

VIMID’s efforts to create a professional working environment, safeguard employee rights and develop human capital have been recognised through numerous reputable awards and distinctions.
