Background union
1. Building our Human Resource Information System (HRIS) technology stack
Throughout the whole journey, Techcombank strives to provide employees with the best experience. HR's digital transformation has enabled us to move to our HRIS, HRConnect on cloud enabling 60-70% of our HR transactions to online and paperless. In 2023, we expanded our HR technology stack with 3 additional modules:
  • Performance Management – a powerful digitalised tool for continuous performance development including a simplified and automated goal library.
  • Talent Management – to further enhance our talent selection, development and retention processes. A platform to further enhance our talent selection, development and retention to support our focus on developing and groom a strong talent pipeline to achieve long term success of the bank and drive retention of our key talent
  • Compensation and Rewards - to provide more clarity and empowerment for line managers handling compensation.
2. Acquiring the best talent and providing the best onboarding experience
In 2023, we continued to reach out to the world, with a talent roadshow to Sydney, to seek the hard-earn talent with targeted Vietnamese home comers with niche skills. We have also retained the proactive approach to share information on our culture and environment, direction and opportunities to the market labour to attract fitting talent. An effective and transparent recruitment process helped to benefit both the Bank and applicants, leading to 97% of positions recruited with high satisfaction by both the recruiting units and the applicants.
3. Learning and development
A highlight of 2023’s learning and development journey was revamping our Key Talent segments with corresponding specialised training program. Our Key Talent makes up less than 5% of the Bank’s total population and have high leadership potential or/and high value niche functional skills. For each of the Key Talent segments, Techcombank provided focused tailor-made programs with modern tool and training environment such as:
  • Techcom Manager
  • Techcom Leader
  • TechcomLEAP
  • TechcomRISE
  • The Future Gen
4. Employee Benefits
In 2023 we refreshed our performance bonus scheme offering an overall increase in the bonus level and better phasing of the bonus tiers, we offered new targeted benefits, such as insurance, corporate discounts and others, are welcomed and appreciated. A particular highlight is An Cu 1, 2,3, our ‘settled accommodation’ program for employees who dream of owning their own home. We worked with real estate partners to introduce a corporate discount and offered subsidies and payment support programs to reduce financial obstacles. Already 800 Techcomers are homeowners.

2024 focus

In 2024, we will:
  • Continue to empower our people and enhance our capabilities.
  • Invest more in our people managers by refreshing offerings to this important segment who drive the Bank’s performance and future.
  • Foster a culture of internal mobility, providing opportunities for all employees to grow and expose to new areas, and with that expansion in capability better perform in their current position as well as explore new positions and career paths within the Bank.
  • Continue to improve our employees’ quality of life by providing more offerings to help them rent or buy house, and children's education. Alongside this, we're placing a strong emphasis on maintaining the highest quality of service for our employees, while simultaneously strengthening our reporting and data analysis capabilities to gain deeper insights and make data-driven decisions.
