OUR GROUND-BREAKING MODELS
Since 2020
Learning organizations "Made in Vietnam"
Respect Vietnam has adapted global knowledge and frameworks to develop a new "Made in Vietnam" learning and development (L&D) model for learning organizations. This model aims to bridge the gap between strategy and execution by teaching all members how to learn and apply their knowledge to stay competitive, grow sustainably, and navigate high VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) environments.
The model simplifies complex concepts, making them easy for all members to understand and practice. It helps define their position on the learning curve, how much more they need to learn, and how far they can go together to achieve shared goals and visions. The key difference in this model is its straightforward approach to identifying and closing the knowing-doing gap within an organization.
This approach helps address common issues such as misunderstandings, miscommunication between decision-makers and implementers, over-engineered solutions to organizational silos, and the blurred line between the need to learn and make sense of their environment.

Labor Law Reform 2019 - pending questions
Tia Sang Magazine: After the official ratification of the new Labor Code on the 20th Nov 2019, there is a number of respondents expressing their surprises. The reason was the number of delays since the Code revision was introduced due to the increasing
disagreements over several controversial issues. As a labor & manpower expert who has consulted a great deal of companies, international organisations,
corporations & governments, what is your take on the new highlights the Code has made?
RespectVN Founder: I think the new Labor Code finally got passed on 20 Nov 2019 after a number of delays is a good news. Before that every time a bill was issued a countless number of "heated" debates arrived, then cooled off and some time faded into silence.

Three takeaways from the article: Drivers & Grab: The relationship is not yet to be named:
1. One relationship is governed by 3 laws (Business Law, Civil Law, and Labor Law)
2. GIG economy: pros go away and cons come up when bargaining power is too unbalanced
3. Until laws are coherent, Grab should consider social responsibility on Business Model

Train the Trainers: 20 Hours Doing the Right Things Right
It is a growing acceptance that corporates must respect human rights & that corporate human rights abuse can have a significant impact on businesses. However global & local corporate human-right frameworks keep observing disappointingly low scores of responsible business conducts (RBC).
Heavy investment on due diligence & due diligence reporting with unclear RBC boundaries as well as controversial RBC rankings likely demotivate corporates to perform RBC consistently & sustainably
along their global supply chains.
The online TOT was divided into 4 weekly sessions with enrollment of 50 professionals who aims to motivate individuals, corporates & their suppliers to provide more measurable & sustainable RBC practices.
