The story of attracting employees of large transportation enterprises

Long-term employees who are constantly improving their expertise have helped Deo Ca have quality human resources, conquering many large-scale traffic projects across the country.

Have "food and savings" thanks to good welfare system

"My dear!

13 years ago (September 2010), my mother was a fresh graduate working for the Deo Ca Project Management Board.

This fall, September 2023, my mother is still working at the office of the Deo Ca Tunnel Operation Management Enterprise (TMC Deo Ca).

Mom is still and will always be attached to the group. When she gets older, she can proudly tell her children and grandchildren: "My youth is associated with Deo Ca Group. My first steps and forever after are all associated with Deo Ca. Mom is proud to introduce that this is where I worked and was attached to...", those are the words that Tran Thi My Lien, HR and administrative specialist of the General Department, TMC Deo Ca sent to her child in the article participating in the contest "Deo Ca in me".

In mid-February 2024, meeting Lien on a beautiful sunny day in Phu Yen , the reporter felt even more clearly the love she had for the unit she worked for.

That love is not through flowery words but through her own understanding of the working environment. From the office, the control center, the operation, the dining area, Lien introduces everything to the visitors in detail without any documents in hand.

What makes you able to work in one place for so long? "A salary commensurate with your efforts, good and constantly improving welfare, what more could you ask for?", Lien replied.

Working at TMC Deo Ca, Mr. Dao Quang Cam, Fire Fighting and Rescue Team Leader, recalls the time in 2015, after 7 years working for an oil and gas company, the decision to return to Deo Ca was made.

"At the oil and gas company, the salary is only over 4 million per month. My wife works as a worker for the company and her income is not much either.

At that time, the couple decided to buy insurance for their eldest daughter with the hope that when she went to university, they would have enough money to cover expenses.

The couple's income is only enough for living expenses and insurance for the children (about 10 million/year), and sometimes they have to borrow from both their parents. That situation motivated me to apply for a job at Deo Ca to have a better life," Cam shared and excitedly said that with the salary paid by TMC Deo Ca, 2-3 times higher than the "three poles, three coins" income in the past, he and his wife not only have food and savings but also buy their own house in Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen).

Not only do they enjoy better income, receive their salary on time, and receive bonuses on time, but according to Mr. Cam, at Deo Ca, workers are also integrated into a more professional working environment with modern, complete equipment and facilities, and are well-trained and improve their professional skills.

In Deo Ca, it is not only about income and capacity building, but also about the spirit of community and gratitude to the people. Whenever I remember the moment I stood on duty to distribute water, cold towels, and cakes to people traveling home for Tet like recently, I want to stay here even more.

Speaking with Giao Thong Newspaper, Mr. Dinh Viet Cuong, Deputy Director of TMC Deo Ca, said that up to now, the total number of employees of the unit is 255 people. Of which, the person with the lowest seniority is 5 years, and there are almost no employees who have resigned.

"Finding a good job, some people invite their wives/husbands to work with them. In total, TMC Deo Ca currently has no less than 10 couples," Mr. Cuong shared enthusiastically, adding that the nature of tunnel operations is to operate continuously 24/7, ensuring smooth traffic, determining that the health of workers plays a decisive role. At TMC Deo Ca, officers and workers are carefully taken care of in every meal and sleep.

In the office premises alone, 15 bedrooms, 15m2/room (2-3 beds) are invested to serve rotating shifts.

Leaving TMC Deo Ca to arrive at the XL01 construction site of the North-South expressway project, Chi Thanh - Van Phong section, the reporter saw a spacious camp site in the middle of a construction site full of dirt, rocks, and dust.

Mr. Do Ngoc Kien, Chief of Staff in charge of constructing the Tuy An tunnel roof of the Chi Thanh - Van Phong expressway project.

Mr. Do Ngoc Kien, the Chief in charge of constructing the Tuy An tunnel's roof, excitedly shared: The Deo Ca executive office is like a professional working office, designed and invested in equipment according to each subdivision: from office, meeting room to kitchen, living room.

"The best thing is that the management office also has a soccer field and a relaxing landscape, so going to the construction site is tiring, but when returning to the camp, the workers feel like they've entered a different atmosphere, airy and comfortable," said Mr. Kien.

After 25 years working in the construction industry, leaving his old company to come to Deo Ca from the Quang Ninh coastal tunnel project to the tunnel routes: Thung Thi, Truong Vinh, Tuy An, Mr. Kien said that the most reassuring thing about his current work unit is the place to eat and stay.

"About 10 years ago, many businesses always determined that even if the spirit at the construction site was not the same as at home, they still had to meet 70 - 80% of the demand. However, in reality, it was only 40%.

At Deo Ca camp, it's different. Instead of temporary corrugated iron rooms, hot in the sun, leaky in the rain, dangerous in storms as people think, we have clean, comfortable offices, bedrooms with hot water heaters and air conditioners, helping workers stabilize their spirit and health to work," Mr. Kien explained.

Like many others, Mr. Kien admits that another reason that motivates him to stay with his current company is that engineers and workers have never had their salaries or bonuses delayed or suffered from poor treatment.

Recruiting more than 3,000 employees in the new year

Not only Ms. Lien, Mr. Cam or Mr. Kien, according to Mr. Ngo Truong Nam, General Director of Deo Ca Group, for many years, the situation of unpaid wages has never happened to more than 7,000 workers of Deo Ca.

"The Group's payroll system has created a culture of never owing or delaying wages.

Even in the most difficult times, instead of letting employees take temporary leave or cut salaries, we always proactively fix the problem, arrange suitable work in addition to reserving financial funds for businesses to manage risks," said Mr. Nam.

Regarding the unit's human resources, Mr. Nam said that as of December 31, 2023, the total number of employees of the Group was 7,377 people, an increase of 46% over the same period last year (corresponding to a 60% increase in work output).

In 2023 alone, the total number of employees recruited at Deo Ca Group is 3,080 people, an increase of 79% compared to 2022.

Of which, the construction site block has 2,756 people (accounting for 90%), the office block has 324 people (accounting for 10%).

"With the workload in 2024 increasing by approximately 30% compared to the previous year, the expected labor recruitment demand at the Group this year is up to more than 3,000 workers across the country," Mr. Nam shared.

Not only domestic staff, determined to reach international level, the staff must have international level, we have cooperated with many businesses, training schools in the world to cooperate and train the Group's staff. As for foreign engineers, there are staff we are paying up to 15,000 USD/month to accompany.

Mr. Ngo Truong Nam, General Director of Deo Ca Group

Identifying that people and culture are things that cannot be borrowed but must be built and developed by the enterprise itself, the leader of Deo Ca Group said that the Group has built a comprehensive development strategy.

Training activities are implemented in a variety of forms, both internally and in conjunction with external units, both short-term and long-term.

The camp was built spaciously with nutritious meals provided by Deo Ca Group for workers at the project site.

In 2023 alone, the construction site block will have 1,568 personnel trained focusing on the Group's specific occupations and jobs such as miners, drillers, sprayers, drivers, construction machine operators, etc.

"It can be said that Deo Ca is not only an ideal business environment to work in, but it is also a place that contributes to "training" generations of "real-life" talents for the country," Mr. Ngo Truong Nam shared and added that in order to motivate employees, especially young employees, to stay with the job for a long time, prioritizing training, development, and appointment from internal sources that are suitable for the culture is always focused on by the enterprise.

In addition, preferential policies on bonuses and stock purchases for employees with good performance and long-term employees have created motivation for employees to continue working.
