Human resources in the 4.0 era
Economist, Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh (Academy of Finance) emphasized: Vietnam's human resources have the advantage of being youthful, dynamic and have development potential. The workforce is young, ready to access new technology, has a creative spirit and high adaptability.
However, human resources in Vietnam still show limitations. These are in terms of professional skills, foreign languages and innovative thinking. The rate of trained workers is still low compared to the requirements of the high-quality labor market. There is a shortage of skills in technology, data and artificial intelligence. There is a large gap between the demand for high-quality human resources and the ability of the training system to provide them.
Associate Professor Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh also pointed out the gap in training quality between regions, especially between urban and rural areas. The lack of connection between the education system and the actual needs of businesses makes students lack the necessary skills upon graduation.
Building a human resource development strategy
In the context of Vietnam aiming for the digital economy to account for about 30% of GDP and potentially bring 74 billion USD to Vietnam by 2030, the Government has introduced many policies and solutions to promote the digital economy, in which people are one of the key factors.
Decision No. 411/QD-TTg Approving the National Strategy for Digital Economy and Digital Society Development to 2025, with a vision to 2030, which sets the target of the proportion of digital economic workers in the workforce reaching over 2% by 2025 and 3% by 2030...
Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh said that it can be affirmed that human resource development in the 4.0 era is not only the responsibility of each individual but also requires coordination between the state, enterprises and the education system. If we make good use of opportunities and overcome challenges, Vietnam can build human resources to meet the requirements of the 4.0 industrial revolution.
First, businesses need to define a human resource development strategy that is consistent with their vision and mission. This includes orienting future human resource needs, from which they can develop training plans, develop skills, and optimize existing resources. In other words, businesses need to continuously invest in talent to ensure long-term competitiveness.
The work environment is a key factor in employee engagement and performance. Businesses need to build a positive corporate culture that promotes open communication and encourages creative thinking. Ensuring fair management, encouraging teamwork and respecting diversity are all factors that help make the environment sustainable.
Employees need to be equipped with the skills to face the challenges of the future. Regular training, emphasizing soft skills such as communication, problem solving, negotiation as well as technical skills such as using digital technology, data analysis is very important.
Retaining talent is a big challenge for businesses today. In addition to attractive salaries and bonuses, businesses need to provide flexible welfare policies, clear promotion opportunities and recognize employee contributions.
A key factor is the ability to increase employee engagement with the company through open and transparent communication. When employees feel valued and important to the team, they are more committed to their work.
Faced with the above challenges, Lao Dong Newspaper organized an online television talk show with the theme "Developing sustainable human resources for businesses" at 2:30 p.m. on December 20, to find solutions to build a human resource development strategy that both meets current needs and ensures long-term sustainable development.
