Without Management’s vision and people-focused strategy, Masan High-Tech Materials couldn’t have such wonderful survey results.

As a result, 91% of employees expressed confidence in the leadership’s openness and clear growth strategy. They also acknowledged fair treatment and respect in the workplace.

Beyond career development and job performance, MHT management encourages and supports employees in balancing work and life. Understanding the employees’ desires outside the workplace, the company offers flexible work schedules, comprehensive healthcare programs, regular outings, and sports activities such as yoga and running. Competitive compensation packages are also ensured.
With an unwavering commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, Masan High-Tech Materials focuses not only on business growth but also on the development of a civilized and prosperous community. The company contributes over VND1,000 billion to the state budget, US$1 million to Thai Nguyen Province for development of socio-economic and cultural activities, and employs thousands of local workers. Over the past decade, the company has spent over VND4 billion on educational support, benefiting more than 2,500 students.
