Adecco Vietnam has launched its fourth Salary Guide, which includes an update and overview of salary information for key positions in various sectors and industries.

It covers seven industries in which the company specialises, such as finance and banking, legal and compliance, office, sales marketing and events, information technology, engineering and technical fields, and medical and life sciences.

It is based on Adecco Vietnam’s permanent positions and client and employee needs.

The information includes job description, salary range and years of work experience.

Andree Mangels, general director of Adecco Vietnam, said “While Viet Nam has an abundance of young labourers, youth unemployment remains high as the gap between academic training and real world business skills has widened. Talent shortages, especially among senior level jobs, continue to be a challenge for businesses as companies tried to engage and retain their existing talent base.

“While compensation plays a key role in employee retention, firms are exploring different ways to keep their key talent engaged without getting caught in a pay-inflation spiral.”

Adecco Vietnam Salary Guide 2017 aims to provide companies the insights they need to meet emerging salary expectations in order to attract and retain talent, Andree said.

It is available for free download at the company’s website adecco.com.vn.

The salary guide was undertaken in seven countries in Asia Pacific: Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, China and Viet Nam. — VNS
