Home Credit recognised as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Asia

The company also received special recognition in the categories of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as well as the Most Caring Company Awards.

The “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” award is an annual international award held by HR Asia - the leading human resources magazine in Asia - aimed at evaluating and honouring businesses for outstanding HR policies, attractive benefits, and top-notch working environments.

Home Credit’s significant win at this year’s awards is a testament to the company’s relentless efforts in building a happy, empowering workplace where every employee is cared for and developed.

As an organisation that values employee development, the judges were impressed that Home Credit focuses on building a successful and sustainable workforce through training and development programmes. These range from foundational skills and functional skills, to equipping employees with future skills. Additionally, to develop mental and intellectual energy, Home Credit also regularly organises training and development programmes such as Business School and Skills for Future, equipping employees with foundational knowledge and future skills for their work.

The company emphasises a culture of empowerment for leaders to develop talent, promoting sustainable company growth and individual career advancement.

Van Thi Hong Hanh, chief people officer at Home Credit, shared, “We care about the development of each employee and want to ensure a positive experience for them while working at the company. Therefore, we continuously enhance the quality of practical, accessible training programmes, promoting a culture of lifelong learning. The training courses emphasise practical application and allow employees to arrange their learning paths to choose the most suitable and effective learning methods for themselves.”

Hanh added that Home Credit focuses on developing current employees and invests to provide a solid start to developing young Vietnamese talents through the Home Racer programme for those passionate about the fields of technology, data, and products. Home Credit believes that with youth, readiness for innovation, and creativity, these individuals will help the organisation grow further on its journey to provide comprehensive digital financial solutions to customers.

Home Credit was seen to focus on employee care through innovative and development-oriented solutions to help them feel happy, proud, and attached to the company.

Besides basic benefits like regular health check-ups and health insurance packages for employees and their families, Home Credit also applies four energy pillars (mental, intellectual, capability, and physical) to design engagement activities and comprehensive health solutions for employees.

Specifically, the company organises employee engagement activities aimed at building and spreading corporate cultural values such as Celebrate You (celebrating DEI culture), Empower You With Home (empowerment culture), Appreciation Month (gratitude culture), and physical health activities like Home Sport (running and football).

Monthly sharing sessions such as HomeChat and Wellness Talk are also held to bring insights and knowledge from experts on various topics including “Financial Optimism, Stable Future”, “Understanding Gender Diversity in the Workplace”, and “Understanding Workplace Psychological Safety”.

Moreover, on the journey to help employees “feel good with Home Credit”, the company understands and accompanies employees through important life milestones. For example, the company has equipped a functional room for mothers to create a private and comfortable space for female employees to balance their maternal duties when returning to work after maternity leave.

Home Credit Group announced on February 28 that it has signed a conditional framework agreement to sell its Home Credit Vietnam business to The Siam Commercial Bank Public Co., Ltd. (SCB), part of SCBX Public Co., Ltd. (SCBX).

Given the volatile financial market situation, Home Credit Vietnam has prioritised sustainable development with tight risk control, focusing on secure operations with adequate buffers.

Home Credit Vietnam has released its Sustainability Report 2023 demonstrating the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in all operations at the digital finance company.
