This series of events not only affirms the creativity of today's workers but also honors the efforts of the Trade Union organization and enterprises in building an innovative working environment and caring for and caring for workers.
Vietnamese workers are constantly creative
Implementing the implementation of breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation, and national digital transformation, from April 2025, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has launched a campaign to arouse the spirit of creativity and initiative in local labor federations.
From here, the creative labor movement has truly created a strong influence among all classes of workers and laborers, not only benefiting hundreds of billions of VND for businesses but also contributing to improving productivity and labor quality, thereby promoting the sustainable development of the economy.
A typical example is in Da Nang, where hundreds of initiatives have been applied. Among them was Mr. Duong Van Am at Lovepop Vietnam Co., Ltd. Through actual production, Mr. Duong Van Am has designed and deployed an automatic material supply system and paper removal system. This is an initiative that not only helps reduce labor but also significantly increases productivity, especially when the company needs to meet strict requirements from international customers. In particular, this initiative also helps the company reduce labor costs by 30%, showing the importance of innovation in improving production efficiency.
In Nghe An, from 2023 to present, 137 union members and workers have been awarded the Creative Labor Certificate by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. Initiatives from workers such as engineer To Quang Thuc at Tan Thang Cement Company have helped improve the production process, increase labor productivity while minimizing environmental impact.
Right at the exhibition "Creative Journey - Aspiration to Rise Up", scheduled to be held on the morning of August 15 at Huu Nghi Cultural Palace, the creative achievements of workers will make viewers admire such as research and manufacturing products, programming, and improving electronic round-trip machines with automatic defects according to the installation program of the group of authors Pham Van Thuan and Nguyen Phu Dung of Garment Company 10. Or the Tam Dao 05 Self-elevating drilling rig model has affirmed the talent of the Vietnamese team of engineers. Engineer Phan Tu Giang, representative of the project author, said that if Tam Dao 03, the machine, had to hire a total of 43,000 working hours from foreign experts, Tam Dao 05, the machine reduced the time to hire foreign experts to 11,000 hours, increasing the localized value to 76 million USD, accounting for 39% of the total 202 million USD in work value.
The role of businesses
In the context of an increasingly developed economy and deeply integrating into the international market, encouraging innovation among workers and laborers has become an important factor to improve labor productivity, improve product quality and ensure sustainable development for businesses. Businesses today have recognized the important role of science, technology and innovation in work, not only helping them maintain competitiveness but also contributing to the overall development of the economy.
Therefore, the "Enterprise for Workers 2025" Award Ceremony (taking place on the evening of August 15) is a place where many businesses are honored for their efforts to support and promote the creativity of workers, which is to encourage technical innovation initiatives. Phong Phu International Joint Stock Company is a typical example in developing a creative labor movement. In 2023, the company had more than 900 technical innovation initiatives participating in the "1 million initiatives" program of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. These initiatives not only help improve labor productivity but also ensure stable product quality, with an average productivity increase of 5 - 7%.
In addition to encouraging innovation, businesses are now actively applying scientific and technological advances in production. ideological Engineering Solutions Joint Stock Company, with a strategy of taking science and technology as a lever for development, has applied a digital system in internal management, from operating processes to projects, helping to optimize processes and shorten processing time. At the same time, the company also promotes the application of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology in production, opening up new development potential for businesses.
Strongly spreading Resolution 57
According to Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo, innovation, digital transformation and application of advanced technologies are one of the key factors for sustainable growth. The creative labor movement needs to be implemented more widely and strongly, not only to help businesses increase labor productivity but also to contribute to the goal of developing the digital economy and improving national competitiveness.
By organizing the "Creative Labor Festival 2025", the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has demonstrated its role in proactively coordinating with businesses to build creative programs associated with innovation in technology and production models. At the same time, helping to develop a "culture of innovation" in production facilities, businesses not only help encourage workers to participate in initiatives but also create a humane and modern working environment, where each individual has the opportunity to maximize their creative potential.
The creative labor movement has been developing strongly in many localities, creating a positive effect not only for businesses but also for society. However, in order for this movement to develop sustainably and widely, it is necessary to continue to promote propaganda activities, encourage creativity, and at the same time implement specific support policies in the spirit of Resolution 57 of the Politburo.
The combination of innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable development will be an important key for Vietnam to realize socio-economic development goals in the coming years, while improving global competitiveness.
Also within the framework of the 2025 Creative Labor Festival at the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the "Outstanding Enterprise for Workers" Award - Award chaired by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, in coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), was assigned to Lao Dong Newspaper for direct implementation.
The 2025 Outstanding Enterprises for Workers Award is an important event to recognize and honor enterprises that have made outstanding contributions to caring for, protecting the rights and improving the lives of workers. In particular, this year, the award also focuses on honoring businesses with innovation, application of advanced technologies and new business models to improve labor productivity and work quality.
Award-winning enterprises not only focus on profits but also pay special attention to sustainable development, building a friendly and dynamic working environment for employees. They have applied creative solutions, from investing in technology, improving production processes to building preferential policies, vocational training and comprehensive development for the workforce.
This award is not only the pride of businesses but also a motivation for other organizations and businesses to continue to promote creativity, contributing to enhancing the value of workers in the digital economy and international integration.
Member of the Party Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Dinh Khang said: "The 2025 Creative Labor Festival" organized by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has attracted millions of union members and workers to participate, creating a vibrant atmosphere in the community. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor organized the program "Creative Labor Day 2025". This is an important event, meaningful in honoring the intelligence and creativity of union members and Vietnamese workers in contributing to the development of the country in the new era, promoting the role of the emulation movement "Good workers - Creative workers" to develop to new heights, associated with green transformation, bringing the country firmly into the new era.
