On December 2nd, Fortune, in collaboration with Great Place To Work®, unveiled the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For™ in Southeast Asia. This marks the first time the prestigious Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For™ list has expanded into the Southeast Asian region.
Over 1.3 million employees participated in surveys evaluating their workplace culture, with more than 550,000 verified responses. Vietnam secured 10 spots on the list, highlighting the significant strides Vietnamese businesses are making in fostering a positive work environment to attract and retain top talent.
SHB emerged as the highest-ranking Vietnamese bank, claiming the 37th position in the Top 100. This achievement underscores SHB’s unwavering commitment to its people-centric strategy and the cultivation of a modern, humane corporate culture.
“Being recognized among the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For™ in Southeast Asia 2025 is a source of immense pride for all of us at SHB. This accolade reaffirms our vision of becoming a ‘happy bank,’ where every employee is valued, heard, and empowered to grow. We firmly believe that happy employees create greater value for our customers, partners, and the community. SHB will continue to invest heavily in our people – the cornerstone of a sustainable, modern banking institution,” shared a representative from SHB.
Throughout its 32-year journey, SHB has consistently upheld the belief that people are its most valuable asset. Placing “People as the Subject” is not only one of the four pillars in the bank’s comprehensive transformation but also a humanistic philosophy embedded in every aspect of its operations.
SHB has implemented numerous initiatives to enhance the employee experience, including competitive benefits packages, clear career development paths, diverse training and internal engagement programs, leadership development for young talent, and a culture of lifelong learning.
Striving to create a “best” and “limitless” work environment, SHB has embraced the Agile methodology, designed internationally-standardized offices, and earned the “Best Workplace in Asia” award from the Asia Awards Organization.
With its dynamic work environment and comprehensive, diverse benefits, SHB has been recognized four times as “Asia’s Best Employer” by HR Asia. In 2024, Finance Asia awarded SHB as “Vietnam’s Most Diverse, Equitable & Inclusive Bank”; CareerViet named it among the Top Most Attractive Employers. At the Better Choice Awards 2024, SHB was honored as the “Bank for People of the Year.” In June, Great Place To Work certified SHB as an “Outstanding Workplace.”
The “SHB and T&T Group Culture Festival – Stepping Confidently into a New Era,” held in March at the My Dinh National Stadium, exemplified SHB’s commitment to a happy workplace where spiritual values are cherished and shared. The event brought together 15,000 employees, representing 80,000 domestic and international workers from both organizations, prioritizing frontline workers across various sectors. This historic event, reminiscent of an international sporting spectacle, featured a torch relay with the sacred flame from the Hung Kings Temple lighting up the stadium and set a record for the largest number of people singing the national anthem at a corporate cultural event in Vietnam.
SHB boasts a distinct cultural identity, blending traditional values with innovative thinking to align with modern trends and shape the future. Its culture is built upon six core values: “Heart – Trust – Integrity – Knowledge – Intelligence – Vision,” with Heart as the foundation. SHB’s cultural development journey is encapsulated in SHBilove – SHB I Live Our Values Everyday, emphasizing the daily embodiment of these core values.
Fortune’s recognition not only acknowledges SHB’s efforts in creating an inspiring and humane work environment but also serves as a powerful motivator for the bank to continue building a happy workplace where every individual feels valued, understood, and supported in their personal and professional growth. From this foundation of happiness, SHB aspires to spread positive values throughout the community, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s sustainable and prosperous development.
