The ‘HR Asia Awards’ is an esteemed annual event organized by Business Media International (BMI), one of Asia’s leading business media and events companies. The awards recognize organizations with exceptional human resource management and support policies, creating an ideal work environment for their employees.
EQuest Education Group is honored to be recognized by the HR Asia Awards 2024, held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. With the theme “The Definitive Z Choice,” the awards aimed to celebrate businesses that strive to become the top choice for the dynamic and creative Gen Z workforce.
Mr. Dam Quang Minh, EQuest’s Vice President, shared, “We are grateful to HR Asia Awards for bestowing this honor upon EQuest. Our people are our most valuable asset, and we are committed to continuing our strong and sustainable human resource investment strategies. We believe that with our current talent attraction policies, the Group will attract more excellent personnel to create positive values for society through education.”
Human Resource Policies and Benefits: Laying the Foundation for Attracting Top Talent
As one of Vietnam’s largest and most dynamic private education groups, EQuest has a 20-year history and a workforce of over 5,000 employees across Vietnam and internationally. The Group prioritizes employee autonomy and encourages contributions while emphasizing continuous learning. With core values of Learning, Excellence, Action, Dedication, and Scalability, EQuest views each member as a vital part of the organization.
EQuest has implemented a comprehensive Learning and Development (L&D) strategy with supportive policies and programs from an employee’s first days, such as the “Welcome, EQuest Learning & Development” onboarding program, helping new hires quickly adapt and understand the culture and work processes. EQuest employees are encouraged to use flexible workplace tools on multiple platforms (Workplace, Google Chat, 1Office…) and apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their work, ensuring they are future-ready and aligned with the characteristics of the growing Gen Z workforce.
EQuest offers various programs and policies to support, motivate, and attract talented employees.
Ms. Nguyen Hoang Phung, a member of EQuest’s C&B team, shared, “Even as a young Gen Z employee, I’ve felt a strong sense of belonging at EQuest for the past two years. The environment is very friendly, and everyone is so caring. Although I was new and inexperienced, my colleagues were always there to guide and support me. They would even stay late until 10 pm to help me with challenging tasks. Another impressive initiative is the ‘Ngo Dong Convenience Store,’ a team effort to stock snacks and drinks for those late-night cravings or unexpected long work hours. These are some of the reasons why I love working at EQuest.”
As an education group, EQuest boasts a team of experienced domestic and international education experts and managers who are always ready to support and share their knowledge with other members, especially the younger generation.
The Group continuously develops and enhances its attractive welfare policies, listening and responding to employees’ needs. These include sports and arts events, FED (Friday Evening Drink), Birthday Leave, allowing 30% of work-from-home days, and ‘Away Day’ (a day to work remotely from a different location).
The award acknowledges EQuest’s relentless efforts in fostering a positive, creative, and humane work environment.
The “Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024” award is a testament to EQuest’s commitment to building not just a profitable business but also a humane, diverse, and sustainable organization, empowering individuals to freely develop their capabilities.
