Vietnamese companies are rethinking how they support exiting employees, but there’s a critical blind spot.
In most countries, when someone is made redundant, they follow a familiar path: job search. But in Vietnam, up to 40% take a very different direction:
they launch businesses; they build portfolio careers; they retire early or reinvent themselves.

In this short video, I share what many organisations in Vietnam are getting wrong, and what needs to shift.
If you’re offering career transition support, make sure it reflects the reality of the Vietnamese workforce.
