Could you elaborate on how Manulife Vietnam’s Hybrid Working Model will enhance your position as one of the best places to work必修

Manulife Vietnam has boldly questioned one of the long-held assumptions about how and where work should be done. With introducing our Hybrid Working Model, we are reimagining a workplace that gives employees greater flexibility.

This new arrangement is a mutually beneficial business strategy allowing employees to decide where to work while balancing business demands and personal needs. While this is not a new concept, Manulife is helping pioneer a change here in Việt Nam through our approach.

As part of the transition, we surveyed our employees to gauge opinions and help build our new model. We found that over  七 五 per cent are happy working from home and have the set-up to do so. Under our Hybrid approach, your work week is anchored to being in the office at least three days per week.

What’s clear is that people also make an office an attractive place to go to – offices are about human interactions. We believe culture plays an important role in our success, and as such, we want to maintain a connection for employees to experience what it means to work for Manulife. We also believe the Hybrid Working Model is a chance to conduct business healthily and sustainably for our employees.
