This is a special activity for the Vietnamese human resource community, held once a year on a national scale. The event was organized by the Vietnam Education Consulting Organization EduViet Corporation in collaboration with the Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association, the National Startup Association and the Vietnam Human Resources Forum HRLink.vn.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of Vietnam Human Resources Day 2016, Associate Professor, Dr. Le Quan, founder and Head of the event's Organizing Committee, said: In recent years, startups have received attention from the State, government and Vietnamese business community. We witnessed the first wave of startups in the early 90s, stronger in the early 21st century and will play a role in driving economic development in the coming years.

The impressive number of more than 100,000 newly established enterprises and more than 20,000 enterprises returning to operation this year is a milestone in the Government's policy of creating a startup environment. In particular, on October 16, the Prime Minister launched the "Youth Startup" Program for the period 2016 - 2021 and the Youth Startup Festival in the series of activities of the National Startup Year.

Therefore, the event of Vietnam Human Resources Day 2016 with the theme "Human resource management in the startup stage" was organized in conjunction with the national startup year, aiming to enhance the capacity of entrepreneurs and startups; contributing to helping startups solve problems in human resource management.

Associate Professor, Dr. Le Quan shared: Startups and human resources always go hand in hand. Most of the reasons for failure in the startup process come from the capacity not meeting the requirements of the business owner.

Entrepreneurship is not a “game” nor an “experience”. Entrepreneurship is a process of combining individuals and organizations. Establishing and developing a business is both a product and a means of the entrepreneurial process. Therefore, in addition to professional, technological, and technical capabilities, business management, organizational management, and human resource management capabilities are important keys to ensuring the success of a startup.

Becoming a manager in a large enterprise, especially a foreign enterprise, does not necessarily bring management experience to domestic entrepreneurs, because large enterprises often have systematic, segmented, and segmented business processes. Meanwhile, starting a business requires business owners to have systematic thinking to develop the competitiveness of the enterprise and attract investors. Globalization requires each entrepreneur and business manager to be different, to focus on creating added value thanks to high-quality human resources and to establish a suitable corporate culture.

At Vietnam Human Resources Day 2016, experts and business leaders discussed and shared valuable lessons and stories about human resource management in the start-up phase; at the same time, there were in-depth discussions on each issue such as: Designing a human resource management system in the start-up phase; recruitment, training of human resources, law, etc.

According to experts, currently, businesses are facing many difficulties and challenges in the process of international integration and lack of innovative and creative startups. Therefore, in the coming time, the national startup strategy needs to focus on creating an environment to develop the entrepreneurial spirit and business spirit among young people right from high school. In particular, it emphasizes the development of startups as a solution to create jobs for oneself and others, as well as create wealth for society.
