Hanoi – Nhan Dan Newspaper, in coordination with Coteccons Construction Joint Stock Company (CTD), officially launched the “Xây Tết 2026” program under the theme “Thank You to the Guardians of Happiness”. The program highlights the message that workers’ happiness is built upon 365 days of safe working practices. Safety as Culture, Right, and Responsibility Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Trinh Thuy Trang, Deputy CEO of Coteccons, emphasized that at Coteccons, the principle “If it is not safe, stop work” is not merely a slogan but a core operating rule. Safety engineers are empowered to halt construction to protect workers, and workers themselves are encouraged to refuse tasks that pose potential risks. This mindset transforms safety from a regulation into a voluntary daily practice. Ms. Nguyen Trinh Thuy Trang, Deputy CEO of Coteccons, delivers her remarks at the ceremony In the opening documentary of the event, a Coteccons safety engineer shared a perspective often perceived as that of a “villain” on construction sites—someone who constantly reminds and enforces compliance. Yet, this strictness helps workers build awareness and refuse to work at unsafe, poorly protected sites. The story reflects a reality in which safety has become a defining cultural value across Coteccons’ projects. Why Safety? The construction industry is among those with the highest rates of occupational accidents. Therefore, Coteccons selected “safety” as the central theme of “Xây Tết 2026″ to reaffirm that economic development must go hand in hand with human protection. As a contractor involved in numerous national

Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh, Deputy Director of the City Press Center, delivers remarks at the ceremony “The program not only brings a more fulfilling Tet to workers, but also spreads humane values, a culture of occupational safety, and self-protection awareness within the community”, Mr. Khanh emphasized. The Ho Chi Minh City Press Center will act as the coordinating and communication hub, working closely with Nhan Dan Newspaper, Coteccons, and relevant stakeholders to ensure the program is implemented effectively, in line with its objectives, and generates positive social impact.

Coteccons has officially been certified as a Great Place To Work® (GPTW) – one of the world’s most prestigious recognitions for workplace excellence, assessed based on rigorous criteria relating to corporate culture, internal trust, and employee experience. Notably, Coteccons is the first large-scale construction enterprise in Vietnam to achieve this certification. Great Place To Work® – Built from the Hearts of Coteccons People Great Place To Work® (GPTW) is the global authority on workplace culture, surveying nearly 20 million employees across 18,000 enterprises in 150 countries. GPTW evaluates “great workplaces” using the Trust Index™ Survey, which measures five dimensions: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie.  In Vietnam, only around 200 companies currently hold GPTW Certification – a remarkably small number compared to hundreds of thousands of active enterprises – highlighting the strictness, transparency, and global benchmarking of GPTW’s evaluation framework.  According to the Trust Index™ Survey, 88% of Coteccons employees agreed that this is a great place to work, significantly exceeding the global benchmark of 59%. This result is a powerful testament to Coteccons’ long-term people-centric human resources strategy.  Trust Index™ Survey Result  This certification carries even greater significance amid the severe labor shortage in the construction industry, where competition for talent is increasingly intense. Many companies face rising labor costs and the risk of workforce instability. In this context, Coteccons’ GPTW achievement is not only a milestone in human capital and culture development, but also a strategic advantage that helps the company attract, retain, and nurture talent sustainably.   People-centric leadership strategy – The foundation of a Great Place To Work  At Coteccons, people are the starting point of every strategy and the purpose behind every development effort.
