On the occasion of the beginning of the new year of At Ty 2025, Lao Dong Newspaper reporters interviewed Mr. Ngo Ngoc Thuan - Deputy Director of Dong Phu Cuong Joint Stock Company - about the company's care for union members and employees in 2024 and the company's goals in 2025.
This is a business with many typical activities in Dinh Quan district in taking care of the lives of union members and workers.
- Sir, can you briefly introduce the 10-year journey of formation and development of the company?
Mr. Ngo Ngoc Thuan: Dong Phu Cuong Joint Stock Company was established in 2014, located in Phu Cuong Industrial Park, Dinh Quan District.
After 10 years of formation and development with many continuous challenges, but with the core corporate culture values of solidarity - honesty - creativity - aspiration, Dong Phu Cuong collective has gradually transformed and grown strongly.
10 years, a memorable journey with efforts to contribute to the environment and society, a journey full of pride in the journey of building intrinsic values and conquering brand values.
Our motto is and will continue to be to continuously improve to increase income for workers.
- How did the company overcome difficulties in 2024? What is the company's order situation and business development plan in 2025?
Mr. Ngo Ngoc Thuan: The decline in orders in the last 6 months of 2023 has had a strong impact on the production and business situation in 2024.
And the consequence is that in 2024, our biggest difficulty will be labor policies and reduced labor turnover. I think that this is not something our company is facing, but the general situation of labor in the textile industry nationwide. The sharp decrease in labor has had a strong impact on the factory's capacity to meet customer demand.
However, with solidarity, determination and a spirit of continuous improvement, we have overcome 2024 with many outstanding successes and laid the foundation for continued development in 2025.
Regarding the business development plan for 2025, we expect to grow by over 10% compared to 2024. The order situation is relatively stable and we have received orders until September 2025. I consider 2025 to be a stable year in terms of labor and orders, and that is the basis for the company to continue to maintain growth.
- Sir, what is the company's Board of Directors' view on employees? Does the company consider employees as its most valuable asset?
Mr. Ngo Ngoc Thuan: From the time of establishment until now, our company has always taken the goal of sustainable development as a priority and the human factor is one of the top priorities.
Our company has a slogan: "People are the backbone and most valuable asset of the enterprise". Therefore, we put employees first, only with employees can there be an enterprise.
All our activities focus on building a safe and happy working environment for employees, improving living wages and always listening to employees' opinions to proactively improve the working environment.
- How do you evaluate the activities of the company's grassroots trade union, is it effective in creating a harmonious relationship between employers and employees?
Mr. Ngo Ngoc Thuan: The grassroots trade union always accompanies us in all activities and provides consulting support to help us build a safe and happy working environment for employees, helping to connect employers and employees.
I hope that the company's grassroots union will continue to build and promote more programs and activities, and be more creative to harmonize the interests of workers with the interests of the enterprise.
