Difficulties in building corporate culture in 2023.

​ Regarding the difficulties in building corporate culture, the answer from the majority of businesses is that they do not master how to do it and lack implementation skills, which are causing major obstacles to building and developing culture.

Nearly half of businesses (49.22%) participating in the survey said difficulties in building culture stem from a lack of implementation methods and skills; effectiveness cannot be measured and implementation staff is thin. This situation stems from the fact that the overall priority level for corporate culture training has decreased compared to last year. In particular, awareness and skills training programs for managers and specialized teams decreased from 28.20% to 19.48%.

Priority goals in building corporate culture in 2024.

Having gone through a turbulent year 2023, nearly half of businesses participating in the survey are looking forward to 2024 with the task of reshaping the corporate culture foundation for new development strategies.

Increasing employee experience, creating an innovative and creative environment, and building a learning organization will be the three main trends leading corporate culture in 2024.

Assessing the outstanding trends of corporate culture in 2024, Mr. Le Quang Vu, CEO of Blue C, said that corporate culture is like the wind, although invisible, it brings impacts very big. In a more volatile market context, culture must be steadfast to increase internal strength and build an innovative and creative environment.

However, building corporate culture needs to be suitable for a volatile market context and requires high flexibility and adaptability. According to Mr. Le Quang Vu, businesses need to be ready and have a clear strategy to overcome these challenges.
