Many factories and enterprises are stepping up production to meet year-end delivery schedules. As a result, jobs for workers are stabilized and incomes are rising thanks to overtime and additional allowances and bonuses.

Abundant orders keep workers motivated

On average, Pacific Garment JSC in Dau Giay commune, Dong Nai province, produces more than 40,000 garments each month and is still recruiting additional workers to meet order deadlines. As a newly established enterprise in Dong Nai in early 2025, the company has prepared favorable working conditions and welfare policies to attract workers. Thanks to that, after just over half a year of operations, the company quickly stabilized, with orders signed until the end of January 2026, with80% of products exported to Japan, and the remainder supplied to the domestic market.

Do Thi Thu Huong, General Director of Pacific Garment JSC, said the factory is designed to accommodate 800 workers. In the first phase, 200 workers were hired, and another 200 are being recruited in the second phase to support production. A positive sign is that orders remain stable, ensuring consistent employment for workers. The company views its workforce as the driving force behind development and has implemented various incentive policies to motivate employees and boost productivity.

“With the goal of sustainable development, the company will continue to expand orders to ensure regular jobs for workers,” Huong shared.

FTT Vina Co., Ltd., located in Long Khanh Industrial Park, Binh Loc ward, is also ramping up production to fulfill export orders. This enterprise is a 100% Korean-invested enterprise specializing in the production of high-end handbags and leather wallets. Despite recent impacts from U.S. tariff issues, the company’s output and revenue have remained largely stable. On average, it produces 15,000 handbags and 10,000 wallets per month, with 80% exported to Korea and the remainder to Europe.

The company has secured orders through the end of December 2025 and is employing nearly 700 workers. All employees are covered by social insurance and receive allowances, salaries, and bonuses in accordance with legal regulations.

Nguyen Thi Nhu Bich, a worker at FTT Vina Co., Ltd., said: “Since the beginning of this year, production at the company has remained stable. My colleagues and I have been working in a positive and comfortable atmosphere. I hope the company continues to increase orders toward the end of the year to help raise workers’ incomes.”

Recruiting more workers to speed up production

According to the General Statistics Office, despite prolonged global inflation and supply chain fluctuations, Vietnam has maintained growth momentum in import-export activities. In the first eight months of 2025, total trade turnover reached USD 597.93 billion, up 16.3% over the same period last year. Key sectors such as electronics, textiles, agriculture, and fisheries continue to play a leading role in export growth. In Dong Nai, the industrial production index (IIP) increased by 13.95% compared to the same period. This result clearly demonstrates the strong recovery of the economy and the flexible adaptability of enterprises.

Surveys at textile, footwear, electronics, and wooden furniture enterprises across the province indicate that sectors facing order shortages in 2024 are now experiencing a 15–30% increase in new orders.

General Director of FTT Vina Sung Seung Ho shared: The company is currently using 50% capacity of one factory, and if orders increase, we will operate at 100% capacity. Our goal is to ensure product quality, pursue sustainable production, and focus on human development through long-term policies.

At Pou Phong Co., Ltd. in An Vien commune, Dong Nai province, specializing in processing footwear for brands such as Nike and Adidas, labor recruitment is ongoing to expand production. While last year the company had only over 700 workers, it now has more than 3,000 and continues to recruit daily. On average, the company hires 20–30 unskilled workers each day to handle year-end orders. In the final months of the year, order volumes are increasing sharply, creating high demand for labor.

In the first six months of 2025, TKG Taekwang Vina JSC in Tran Bien ward, Dong Nai province, met its assigned production targets and currently has stable orders, requiring an additional 1,500 workers to fulfill contracts. Overall, the company’s business results this year are positive and improving.

Tran Thi Hai, a worker at Pou Phong Co., Ltd., said: I have worked here since the company was established, and I am satisfied with the friendly working environment and decent salary.

“With the increase in orders, workers are working with high responsibility while also joining productivity emulation movements, improving product quality, and innovating techniques to boost income,” Hai shared.
