CHRO Vietnam: Equipping HR leaders for a transforming economy

Lee Boon Huat, Senior Vice-President of Strategy and Growth at Visier, will discuss how AI is reshaping HR by improving people decisions, addressing talent scarcity, and aligning workforce performance with business goals through the Workforce AI Edge approach.

As Vietnam’s economy soars and digital transformation accelerates, the race to attract, develop, and retain top talent has never been more critical. CHRO Vietnam 2025, organised by HRM Asia, promises to be an essential forum for HR leaders across the country, providing the insights and strategies needed to navigate these challenges and build future-ready organisations that can thrive in today’s fast-paced business environment.

Vietnam is at a transformative moment in its business evolution. With a rapidly growing economy and an increasingly competitive talent market, organisations are feeling the pressure to adapt. This year’s theme, Navigating the Future of HR: Shaping Innovation and Growth in Vietnam, captures the urgency of responding to these changes. At CHRO Vietnam, HR professionals will have the chance to explore cutting-edge strategies for scaling workforce performance, enhancing employee experience, and building high-performance cultures that can power innovation and success.

The two-day conference will offer a rich array of sessions led by industry experts, each designed to equip HR leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to lead their organisations into the future. For instance, Building a High-Performance Workforce and Creating a Culture of Success, led by Nguyen Hong Nhung, CHRO of Loc Phat Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank, will explore creating and maintaining a high-performance culture that connects, engages, and drives productivity. With the right approach, organisations can foster environments where employees feel motivated to deliver high ROI, grow, and thrive.

Lee Boon Huat, Senior Vice-President of Strategy and Growth for Visier, will highlight how AI reshapes the HR landscape. In this session, Better People Decisions – AI Reshapes the Game, attendees will learn how to leverage AI to make better people decisions, navigate talent scarcity, and align workforce performance with business goals. Lee will also elaborate on the Workforce AI Edge approach, which offers a promising solution to meet today’s challenges and provides tools to help organisations stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

In another session, Building a Future-Ready Workforce, Trinh Thu Hoai, Regional HR Director for Abbott Vietnam, will focus on preparing the workforce for the future. Creating a shared vision and motivation across teams while ensuring employees have the opportunities and support to reach their full potential is critical for long-term success.
