Besides, it aims to raise public awareness of the value of human resources as well as the Party’s policies and State’s regulations on social welfare, he noted, adding that this is also a forum to nudge the businesses’ brands closer to the community.

The list of the businesses, which ranked the best firms for labourers nationwide, was compiled by the VGCL, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI).
