Note-worthy strategy tips
Determine the HR requirements
To build a matching team, you should determine the new jobs and roles required to secure the future of the company. Each position needs employees to undertake different responsibilities. Thus, ensure their expertise that they can accommodate the company’s growth.
Strategy a long-term plan
The main point of a long-term plan is getting rid of job-hopping. One of the most common ways to keep staff to stay longer is to offer him more benefits or a higher salary. However, money is not the only reason and certainly not a long-term guarantee. It is essential that businesses should find other ways to build employee loyalty. Aside from increasing the salary, building a good working environment is an effective and affordable way to try.
Erase the differences of working culture
Workplace culture in Vietnam is unlike other countries. Thus, it’ll be a big problem if the manager can not erase the gap. Look for a detailed report beforehand to ensure you control it well.
Hire a local HR agency
No matter how much you research, you can’t get the insight as thoroughly as the local people. Select an HR agency that has a devoted hiring process beyond the headhunt steps. A good HR agency can provide you with a matching recruitment strategy that perfectly fits your business development.
