Which Bank Should Employees Want to Stick With?

For forward-thinking and visionary organizations, the first priority is their human resources, and they achieve this by creating the happiest working environment for their employees.

In a happy environment, employees work with a relaxed mind, allowing them to focus intently on their tasks and wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to the organization. As a result, their careers will flourish alongside the organization’s prosperity.

A testament to a Happy and Sustainable Workplace

HDBank, the only bank in the market to consistently maintain its appeal as the Best Workplace in Asia for seven consecutive years according to HR Asia from 2018 to the present, is also a talent magnet in today’s recruitment market.

Mr. Pham Quoc Thanh, Member of the Board of Directors and CEO of HDBank, shared: “Currently, HDBank has nearly 18,000 employees, of whom 40% have been with the bank for over five years – a high ratio in the industry. A survey on job satisfaction among HDBank employees across six aspects: working environment and conditions, salary and benefits, training and development, job nature, and corporate culture, revealed an impressive satisfaction rate of 85.7%.

In 2024, in addition to being recognized as the ‘Best Workplace in Asia’, HDBank was also honored with the title of having a ‘Sustainable Working Environment’, a well-deserved acknowledgment of the bank’s efforts in building and continuously developing a happy working environment, serving as a second home for HDBankers nationwide.

“Happy and Getting Happier, Achieving Fulfillment”

At HDBank, every employee knows by heart the saying, “We may not be the best, but we will strive every day to be the greatest.”

The collective strength of HDBank, fueled by the efforts of all its members, even in the smallest tasks, has created a positive ripple effect throughout the bank. This has fostered a competitive spirit, driving each individual to contribute to the bank’s overarching goals.

A key strategy in this regard is the bank’s implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles over the years, which will continue to guide its future. This is not just about environmental protection but also about effective bank governance for sustainable growth and, more tangibly, about continuously fostering a happy working environment for employees.

Adhering to its philosophy of sustainable development, HDBank has maintained a professional working environment for many years and offered superior policies and welfare benefits to its employees: performance-based bonuses, preferential interest rates on loans, unsecured loan support, periodic healthcare, international health insurance; and access to training and retraining.

To unlock the potential of its talented workforce, HDBank has organized business competitions such as the “Golden Money Plant” with attractive prizes, programs to honor outstanding employees, and training programs like “HDBank Next Leaders” and “m.MBA” to prepare future leaders…

The bank’s internal culture, steeped in the humanist tradition of HDBank, continues to be emphasized. Initiatives such as the “HDBank in Me” writing contest, the “Charming HDBank” photo contest, the “Our Career Stories” video contest, the “CEO Speakout” dialogue, sports tournaments, the “Sao Mai HDBank” arts festival, and especially the nationwide charity journeys have become synonymous with the HDBank brand and a source of pride for HDBankers. These programs foster a sense of connection and unity within the large HDBank family, instilling pride, love, and satisfaction while providing a platform for employees to showcase their dynamism and creativity.

“For many years, HDBank has been known as a happy bank, but we believe that happiness is not enough. We strive for even greater happiness and fulfillment than the day before. This means continuously improving our working environment, providing unlimited learning and advancement opportunities, and offering more attractive benefits,” emphasized CEO Pham Quoc Thanh.
