Regarding emulation and reward work, the conference pointed out many limitations in implementation. Specifically, the emulation movement has not developed evenly in all regions and subjects, there is no focus or key points, in many places the launching of the movement and the registration for emulation are still heavily formal, the content of emulation is still general, not concretized to suit practical conditions, the work of discovering and replicating advanced models has not received due attention, the reward rate for workers, direct production workers, civil servants and public employees is still low...

To improve the above limitations, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor has proposed a number of directions for innovation in emulation and reward work, related to the content and quantity of emulation movements, the way to organize and nurture the movement, and the reward work.
