Ho Chi Minh City — Coteccons Construction Joint Stock Company (HoSE: CTD) has officially partnered with Workday to implement a Human Capital Management (HCM) platform, guided by the core principle of placing people at the center of every decision. The platform aims to build a transparent and trusted work environment where every individual is empowered to grow through clear, connected data.
This partnership combine Workday AI-powered HCM platform with a deep understanding of the Vietnamese market and the unique complexities of the construction sector. Workday, a trusted partner to more than 60% of the Fortune 500, is an enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents. Coteccons leads the localization and implementation to ensure the system meets the practical operational needs of the industry.
“In a shifting macro-economic landscape, Vietnam’s demographic strength—where 70% of the population is of working age (*)—is increasingly redefining expectations for the modern workplace. This new generation of talent prioritizes rapid career progression, real-time feedback, and a seamless digital experience similar to everyday consumer apps. To remain competitive, organizations must prioritize business transformation to build centralized data systems that optimize operations and create a long-term foundation for nurturing talent.
For the construction industry, a sector traditionally slower to embrace digital transformation, Coteccons views human resource management not merely as an administrative function, but as a strategic pillar. Partnering with Workday establishes a unified, transparent, and reliable HR platform that enhances employee experience, empowers management to make decisions based on real-time data, and reduces reliance on manual processes.
Key Strategic Pillars of the Partnership:
- HR Transformation: Revolutionizing human resource management by moving from manual workflows to a modern, cloud-based platform.
- Optimizing Employee Experience: Creating a seamless digital work environment where employees and managers interact and make data-driven decisions.
- Enhancing Operational Efficiency: Eliminating process overlaps—from recruitment and payroll to talent management—through standardization and automation.
As an Industry Leader, Coteccons is pioneering the deployment of Workday across its entire group, including seven subsidiaries: Unicons, Covestcons, Sinh Nam Façade, CTD Global, UG M&E, GEO Foundations, and VSOL. The transformation will follow a two-phase, three-step roadmap:
- Phase 1: Building a unified data foundation and ensuring performance transparency.
- Phase 1B: Expanding to manage the full employee lifecycle and integrating payroll systems to align goals, competencies, and compensation on a single platform.
- Phase 2: Scaling across the entire Group to complete the HR transformation and operate on a unified HCM system.
This initiative aligns perfectly with Coteccons’ long-term development strategies:
- Go Global: Standardizing HR systems to international standards for market expansion.
- Build-Tech: Turning technology and data into core operational capabilities.
- Human-Hearted Company: Fostering a people-centric culture as the foundation for innovation and sustainable development.
