\nYes, that’s correct. In Vietnam, companies usually organize team-building programs for employees and their families once or twice a year as part of their employee benefits.

\nTypically, team-building events are held at resorts or in spacious locations, with sports activities and cultural exchanges taking place over 1-2 days.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nIs that so? For occasions like this in the U.S, we usually just hold a reception party for employees, but in Vietnam, the employees’ families also participate, right?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
(HR Department)
\nMinh<\/td>\n		V\u00e2ng, \u0111\u00fang v\u1eady anh \u1ea1.<\/span>

\nPartly because family culture is highly valued in Vietnam, and also because the employee turnover rate is quite high compared to other countries. To retain employees, companies often organize activities not just for employees but also for their families, strengthening bonds among employees as well as between the company and the employees\u2019 families.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
