Starting July 1, 2025, a major regulatory shift in Vietnam is poised to positively impact the overseas employment sector. The Vietnamese government has officially recognized the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) as the exclusive legal representative for Vietnamese workers—both domestically and abroad. This development offers a stronger foundation for safeguarding the rights and welfare of Vietnamese workers working internationally, especially in case of disputes or emergencies.
For global employers and partners working with Vietnam Manpower—a leading workforce supplier, recruitment agency, and employment agency—this update brings enhanced reliability and legal transparency in all labor cooperation.
As Vietnam continues to expand its global footprint by sending skilled personnel to Europe, the Middle East, and other high-demand regions, the legal protection of workers is increasingly seen as a vital component of long-term workforce sustainability. This new regulation ensures that Vietnamese workers have a centralized, government-recognized organization to represent their interests, mediate disputes, and offer legal support abroad.
Vietnam Manpower fully supports this policy, seeing it as a progressive step toward aligning Vietnam’s workforce practices with global standards. By ensuring that all workers sent abroad through official recruitment channels are legally represented, Vietnam Manpower can provide greater confidence to foreign employers regarding compliance, dispute resolution, and ethical recruitment.
Moreover, this framework empowers Vietnam Manpower to more effectively partner with international clients by streamlining processes, improving worker readiness, and ensuring consistent communication between stakeholders.
As one of the most experienced recruitment agencies in Vietnam, Vietnam Manpower has built a reputation for delivering high-quality candidates across various industries, including construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and agriculture. The additional legal assurance provided by VGCL will further strengthen Vietnam’s position as a trusted source of skilled human resources.
In an era where international hiring is becoming more complex, this new structure is expected to reduce administrative friction, enhance transparency, and boost confidence in the Vietnamese workforce. Foreign employers now have even more reason to choose Vietnam Manpower as their go-to employment agency for sourcing dependable, well-trained, and legally protected Vietnamese professionals.
Vietnam is entering a new chapter in global labor integration—with stronger institutions, better protections, and more competent workforce suppliers like Vietnam Manpower at the forefront.
