Coteccons received a 'double' of awards at HR Asia Awards 2025

(Chinhphu.vn) - Coteccons (HOSE: CTD) has just been honored at HR Asia Awards 2025 with 2 prestigious awards: "Best Place to Work in Asia" and "Best Employee Care Company".

This is a recognition of the effortful journey of transforming corporate culture, when Coteccons has gradually gone beyond the framework of a typical construction company - which requires high performance - to create an ideal working environment, where people are empowered, inspired and fully developed.

Of the 655 Vietnamese companies that participated, only 119 were selected. Coteccons stood out thanks to its outstanding survey results on internal trust, flexible cooperation between departments, desire for long-term commitment and ability to share a common culture. The award was evaluated based on 3 criteria: Organizational culture, employee experience and team trust.

Human resource strategy of the three "organization" + "talent" + "culture" makes the difference

Coteccons’ success comes from consistently implementing a development strategy that focuses on three key elements: building a strong organization, developing talent, and nurturing corporate culture. Coteccons consistently pursues this strategy by building an operating system around four core pillars.

Firstly, Coteccons builds a simplified and streamlined organizational structure, aiming to minimize complex decentralization in the reporting system. The company operates based on capacity and commitment instead of rank or seniority, creating conditions for effective coordination between generations, genders and diverse professional backgrounds.

Coteccons focuses on connecting Gen Z talents and the veteran generation, promoting effective coordination, mutual learning and value creation. At the same time, Coteccons promotes the integrity of each individual, encouraged to demonstrate within the framework of work responsibility, controlling the ego towards the common goal of becoming a leading enterprise.

Second, each key person (talent), especially the Project Director, is empowered as a "mini CEO", taking full responsibility for progress, quality, finance and leading team building. This model promotes initiative, "ownership" entrepreneurial spirit and independent decision-making ability.

Third, with the development of the next generation, in fiscal year 2025 (from July 2024 to June 2025), Coteccons recorded 47,000 training hours through internal training programs. In addition, the company also organized scholarships for children of workers at 44 construction sites and cooperated with Ho Chi Minh City National University to implement an intensive internship program, helping students prepare to enter a professional working environment.

Fourth, Coteccons ensures more than 41 million safe working hours and organizes 13,000 hours of occupational safety training. At the same time, the company implements a series of activities called "The Happy Coteccons" with the desire to connect the spirit and ensure the physical health of the staff. Thanks to that, the employee happiness index reaches over 90%, contributing to making Coteccons the best employee care company.

Coteccons' team of engineers has higher qualifications and skills than the average in the construction industry.

Coteccons vision and identity

This “double” award is a testament to Coteccons’ comprehensive human resource strategy – emphasizing team cohesion, an organizational structure that empowers talent, and building a unique corporate culture. The culture of “daring to take responsibility and owning one’s work” not only enhances the employee experience but also promotes personal development within a diverse, equitable, and inclusive policy system.

At Coteccons, everyone can shine in their current position and be ready for new challenges, accompanying the business philosophy towards a big goal: becoming a leading enterprise in the construction industry with a strong cultural foundation and a sustainable human development strategy.

With 3,200 employees, an average age of 31 and over 6 years of experience – higher than the average construction industry – Coteccons is redefining the working environment in a field that is considered dry.

Ms. Nguyen Trinh Thuy Trang, Deputy General Director, in charge of Coteccons' Operations Division, shared: "A leading construction enterprise is not only measured by revenue and profit or market size, but also by the trust and happiness of the team. We create an environment where everyone is proud to belong, and only when employees are happy can they create a healthy economic cell that contributes to society and the country. The HR Asia Awards 2025 has recognized the journey that Coteccons is steadfastly pursuing. That is to become a humane company, where people-centered culture plays a fundamental role in innovation, sustainable development and opens a new approach in redefining the concept of an ideal workplace."

HR Asia Awards 2025: "Best Place to Work in Asia" and "Best Employee Care Company" are not only recognition of Coteccons' humane journey, but also open up new competitive advantages in attracting young talents, international customers and strategic partners.
