HCM City (VNS/VNA) – The Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank) has been honoured as the “Best Company to Work for in Asia” for a fourth consecutive year and as the “Most Caring Company” at the 2024 HR Asia Awards given by HR Asia magazine with the theme "The Definitive Z Choice.”

HR Asia used the Total Engagement Assessment Model (TEAM) to assess the satisfaction level of employees based on 35 criteria associated with three factors, Core (strategy - structure), Self (individual) and Group (collective), to select the list of leading enterprises with both sustainable growth and an ideal working environment.

Sacombank was recognised in two prestigious categories in which it exceeded the market average score.

Thanks to its vision and ability to forecast the labour market in the financial sector, Sacombank has made early preparations and invested heavily in technology.

It has fully digitised its HR management, training and performance improvement, becoming a leading enterprise in digital transformation in the field of human resources.

The bank always aims to ensure fairness and equality of opportunities between male and female employees.

Currently its employees span Generations X to Z, with women employees accounting for 48.4%.

This has created a miniature society at Sacombank, where generations and genders can connect with each other in a friendly way, support each other and preserve and strengthen the identity and culture of the bank’s people with characteristics such as calmness, integrity, creativity, strength, and constantly striving forward.

These awards demonstrate Sacombank's efforts in creating an excellent working environment for employees, always prioritising the interests and engagement of employees.

This has motivated the entire system to increase productivity, ensuring effective implementation of the bank's development goals and strategies.

Also last week Sacombank won three awards given by the International Data Group along with the Vietnam Banks Association and other organisations for 2024: "Outstanding Retail Banking Award," "Outstanding Digital Banking Award" and "Outstanding Bank for Small and Medium Enterprises Award".

This is for a seventh consecutive year that the bank has been appreciated by award juries and customers for the quality of its products and services, performance results and contributions to the financial sector and society in general./.
