HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam: Green SM has received two honours at the HR Asia Awards 2026, winning the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia – Vietnam” title and the Technology Empowerment Award for its employee engagement, talent-development and digital human-resource initiatives.
The awards recognise the company’s efforts to build a people-focused workplace, use technology to support employees and establish a common organisational culture across its international operations.
The HR Asia Awards are annual human-resources honours presented to organisations assessed on workplace culture and long-term employee development. Companies are evaluated through the TEAM, or Total Engagement Assessment Model, which measures areas including employee engagement, organisational trust and workplace experience.
According to the award assessment cited by Green SM, the benchmarking system draws on data from more than 2.5 million employees across 20,000 organisations in the region.
Green SM said it scored above market benchmarks in several areas under the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” category. The company received a score of 4.8 out of 5 for technology enablement in the workplace, 4.71 for workplace sustainability and 4.72 for diversity, equity and inclusion.
The company attributes part of its workplace strategy to the principle that “Every Voice Counts”. Its employee-engagement programmes include internal surveys, 360-degree performance evaluations and multiple feedback channels designed to incorporate staff suggestions into company policies and operating practices.
Whether every workplace opinion can make it through the corporate inbox is another matter, but Green SM says the system is intended to convert employee feedback into measurable improvements.
The green-mobility company has also invested in recruitment, professional training, operational standardisation and structured career-development programmes for its Green Drivers.
Managers and employees receive continuing capability-development training through a combination of practical instruction and digital-learning platforms. The programmes are intended to strengthen management skills, leadership capabilities and the company’s ability to respond to changes in its business environment.
As Green SM expands outside Vietnam, it is also seeking to develop a unified organisational culture across its different markets. The company said its approach combines values established in Vietnam with local cultural practices and community requirements in each country.
The objective is to maintain common service standards across markets while allowing local teams to respond to the needs of customers and communities in their respective regions.
Green SM received the Technology Empowerment Award for its digital transformation of human-resource management. Initiatives highlighted by the company include the digitisation of HR processes, the development of competency frameworks, the expansion of digital-learning systems and the use of workforce data in management decisions.
Green SM said the changes have reduced repetitive administrative work and improved decision-making, allowing employees to spend more time on customer service, operational improvements and innovation.
Nguyen Quoc Tuan, Global Chief Executive Officer of Green SM, said: “Our people have always been the cornerstone of Green SM’s sustainable growth. We believe that when individuals are empowered by technology and united by shared values, our teams across every market can deliver exceptional experiences for our customers. These two awards affirm the direction we have taken and further strengthen our commitment to building a truly multinational organization with its roots in Vietnam.”
Green SM plans to expand its global workforce and partner network to approximately 400,000 people in 2026. As part of its international expansion, the company said it would continue investing in employee development and technology-based workforce management.
The awards arrive as Green SM attempts to scale its operations without allowing service standards and workplace culture to become lost in translation. Its ability to build a sufficiently trained and coordinated global workforce will be important to its broader ambition of becoming a leading international green-mobility platform.
