Vietnam – ideal model for ensuring workers’ rights: Better Work Programme Chief
Vietnam serves as an ideal model for other nations to learn from in ensuring employees’ rights and promoting employers’ benefits, said Chief of Better Work Programme Roopa Nair during a meeting with Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs Le Van Thanh in Hanoi on December 4.
Talking to his guest, Thanh commended the programme’s effectiveness and support in creating good examples of compliance with international labour standards and enforcing labour laws, particularly given Vietnam’s ongoing implementation of new-generation free trade agreements.

He said Better Work has helped connect the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MoLISA) to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) in comprehensive evaluations of labour law compliance within enterprises, serving sustainable business development.
Additionally, the programme has contributed to boosting the competitiveness of local garment-textile and footwear exporters, as well as to ensuring better working conditions, safeguarding labourer's rights, and improving adherence to regulations.
Thanh expressed his hope that Better Work would assist Vietnam in raising labourers’ awareness of common standards related to them, while assisting the country in other fields, such as green economy and circular economy, for greater socio-economic changes.
Nair said the Better Work Vietnam’s 15th anniversary offers an opportunity for both sides to review their collaborative journey. She also lauded MoLISA’s feedback to help the programme plan its operation in the time to come and develop unified sets of tools, evaluation standards, and codes of conduct that could be universally applied by employers and enterprises.
