Vietnam continues to attract global companies looking to diversify operations and tap into Southeast Asia’s growth. Yet market entry alone does not determine success. Execution on the ground, particularly in how teams are built, managed, and retained, is what differentiates outcomes.

Foreign businesses often face early challenges. Evolving regulations, shifting workforce expectations, and deeply rooted cultural dynamics influence how teams operate, communicate, and build trust, both internally and with Vietnamese counterparts.

This session examines what effective people management looks like in practice, balancing regulatory compliance with cultural alignment, equipping you with the clarity needed to build, manage and scale teams in Vietnam with confidence.

In this session, we will cover:

HR strategy

• Practical approaches to improving retention, strengthening performance, and building resilient local teams
• Key HR compliance considerations across hiring, onboarding, and ongoing employment

Cultural intelligence

• How cultural dynamics shape communication, decision-making, and trust in Vietnamese teams and business relationships
• What effective management looks like in Vietnam—and how to navigate expectations across teams, stakeholders, and partners

Speakers:

• Sabrina Teller, Intercultural Program Director, International Consultants Centre
• Vivie Vie, Director, Vietnam, Dezan Shira & Associates

If you are looking to build a resilient, compliant, and high-performing team in Vietnam, this session will provide a clear starting point and the right questions to guide your next phase of growth.
