Currently, Dong Nai province has established 57 industrial parks and economic zones, attracting over 700,000 workers from within and outside the province. It is expected that, over the next few years, Dong Nai will establish and put into operation more than 80 industrial parks. Accordingly, the demand for human resources for the province's industrial sector will be very great. For example, in 2025, businesses in the province recruited more than 75,000 workers for factories.
From the above data, it can be seen that many businesses in Dong Nai are expanding production and continuously recruiting more workers. Industries with high recruitment demand include textiles, footwear, electronics, and machinery components.
Therefore, domestic and foreign businesses that come to Dong Nai to assess the investment environment are highly interested in the workforce needed for production. Over the past six years, the province has prioritized attracting projects that use fewer workers and rely more on highly skilled labor. At the same time, the province has encouraged businesses to apply science, technology, and digital transformation to increase productivity and quality while easing labor pressure. However, many businesses in Dong Nai still face difficulties recruiting enough workers for their factories. This challenge raises the question of how to keep workers committed to the factory over the long term.
Businesses all regard human resources as a top priority in their short-term and long-term production and business development strategies. Therefore, they all have incentive policies to encourage workers to stay with the company for the long term. In addition to basic salaries, businesses also offer bonuses for holidays and Tet, seniority bonuses, higher attendance allowances, housing support, shuttle buses, and more. Some businesses also apply bonus policies for workers who introduce new employees, creating a ripple effect throughout the labor community.
In recent years, the working environment has also become a decisive factor in workers' ability to stay. Many companies have invested in new production lines, upgraded workshops, and ensured occupational safety. At the same time, they organize cultural, sports, and tourism activities for workers, contributing to strengthening the bond between workers and businesses.
Many businesses follow a policy of sending excellent workers for advanced training in skills and management, and then appointing them to positions such as team leader, line manager, or factory manager. Workers who see long-term development opportunities will be more committed to the business and less likely to move elsewhere.
However, the challenge of retaining workers with long-term commitment remains significant. Due to rising living costs, the cost of rented accommodation, daily living, and raising children in industrial cities is prompting many workers to reconsider their workplace choices. Some businesses are willing to pay high salaries to attract skilled labor, leading to frequent labor mobility.
In addition to the solutions adopted by businesses, the province also needs to step up its policies to train high-quality, skilled human resources to meet the needs of many factories. Priority should be given to investing in more social housing for workers to rent or buy, as well as to building more schools, medical facilities, and other public services, so that workers can settle down and remain committed to their workplaces in the long term. This accomplishment is due to their very significant contribution to the province's development.
