In today’s competitive pharmaceutical landscape, creating an engaging and supportive workplace is no longer a “nice to have” — it is a business imperative. Davipharm, a member of Adamed Group, has emerged as one of Vietnam’s most progressive employers, driven by the belief that happiness at work directly fuels innovation, productivity, and long-term success.

Recreating the workplace – From feedback to action

At the heart of Davipharm’s workplace strategy is a simple but powerful principle: listen to employees, understand their concerns, and act on them with concrete solutions. As part of its Happiness at Work program, the company has implemented feedback sessions where employees openly share their expectations, challenges, and ideas for improvement. These conversations are not symbolic exercises. Managers, senior leaders, and even the BODs have directly addressed questions and offered detailed answers and actionable plans.

The impact of these initiatives is already measurable. At the end of 2024, Davipharm achieved an employee satisfaction score of 81%, significantly higher than both the pharmaceutical industry average (73%) and the national market benchmark (72%).

Yet, the company is not content to stop there. Davipharm’s leadership has made it clear that their ambition is to become one of the Best Places to Work in Vietnam, a recognition awarded by Anphabe, the country’s most credible employer ranking body. With a clear roadmap and steady improvements, that ambition looks increasingly within reach.

Improving working conditions has been central to Davipharm’s journey. The company has recently invested in a new canteen, upgraded offices, and opened a health room to support employees in its Ho Chi Minh City office. These tangible changes send an important message: employee well-being is not just about policies, but about everyday experiences at work.

In parallel, Davipharm is also deeply committed to learning and development. From English language courses to LinkedIn Learning access, from internal and external training to international development opportunities such as learning trips to Poland, employees are given tools to grow professionally and personally. A culture of continuous improvement and curiosity is being nurtured across all levels of the organization.

Building Culture Through Values and Engagement

While facilities and training are vital, true happiness at work also comes from shared values and meaningful engagement. Davipharm draws on the Adamed Group’s “Safety 1st” and “Adamed Values” frameworks to shape its corporate culture, emphasizing integrity, responsibility, teamwork, and innovation.

Engagement activities further bring these values to life. Sports competitions, cultural events such as the upcoming Adamed Value Festival, and social responsibility initiatives — from visits to social protection centers to scholarships for disadvantaged students — not only build team spirit but also strengthen employees’ sense of pride. For many, the company’s role in promoting public health, such as free screening and education/ training on non-communicable diseases, adds profound meaning to their daily work.

Additionally, the Power of Values competition is an international initiative that honors individuals who embody Adamed’s core values every day — Quality, Openness & Innovation, Operational Excellence, Flexibility & Fast Action, and Mutual Respect. The program has inspired employees to consistently strive for excellence in their work, and our outstanding colleagues have rightfully earned special awards — including trips to foreign countries such as the Czech Republic and Italy, which are part of Adamed’s international business network — alongside other global winners.

Mr. Michał Wieczorek, General Director of Davipharm, highlights why this focus is a core part of the company’s future: “One of our top strategic priorities is to continuously improve the working environment and ensure that our people feel happy, supported, and empowered at work. We believe that by investing in a culture of happiness, we are not only building stronger teams but also positioning Davipharm among the best employers and best places to work in Vietnam. A happy workforce is the foundation of our long-term success.” As Davipharm continues its journey, it is proving that in Vietnam’s fast-growing pharmaceutical sector, investing in people is the most sustainable path forward. With strong leadership commitment, genuine employee engagement, and a culture of continuous improvement, the company is closer than ever to its vision of becoming one of the best workplaces in the country.
