NCB also won the “Tech Empowerment Awards 2025” in its first year of participation. This recognition stems from the bank’s investments in infrastructure upgrades and technology solutions throughout the past year. A key objective of these projects is to create a modern, dynamic, and efficient digital work environment that enhances employee experience. This also fosters a "digital culture" where people, technology, and data work together to create value in the new era.

According to NCB, HR remains a core focus in 2025, built on six pillars: compensation and benefits, development opportunities, work culture and environment, open leadership, ideal work, and company reputation. All activities are aligned with the five core values of "Loyalty, Trust, Dedication, Tact, and Sublimation," forming the bank’s HR DNA and strengthening bonds across the system.

With a workforce spanning three generations, primarily Gen Y and Gen Z, along with several new senior leaders, NCB emphasizes high-quality service, digital transformation capabilities, and a multi-generational environment rich in development and advancement opportunities. The bank encourages diversity, enabling different generations to support and learn from each other, fostering a dynamic, creative, enthusiastic, and cohesive team.

Ta Kieu Hung, General Director of NCB, stated that the bank prioritizes HR, focusing on competitive compensation, expanding development opportunities, especially for young staff, and implementing a flexible empowerment mechanism. Each employee is equipped with the necessary skills and tools to adapt to the evolving landscape.

“We firmly believe that our people are our most valuable asset, the driving force behind our growth. NCB strives to create a happy work environment where everyone enjoys their work every day, contributing to the development of the organization and the community," Hung emphasized.

Over the past three years, the bank has strengthened its HR structure with the addition of numerous experienced personnel at all levels. Today, NCB boasts a highly qualified team, particularly at the senior level, with extensive experience and expertise in the finance and banking sector.
