Shinhan Life Vietnam fosters the spirit of personal development
Personal development is widely regarded as fundamental in paving the way for career success. At Shinhan Life Vietnam, this value is actively nurtured and encouraged.
As a member of Shinhan Financial Group, with its three decade-long presence in Vietnam, Shinhan Life is a relatively young brand, having entered the market in 2021, but it has delivered impressive results in its first three years, thanks largely to its innovative human resource management strategy.
Employees at Shinhan Life Vietnam are empowered to pursue personal growth within a flexible framework, supported by colleagues and leadership whenever needed. They have full autonomy in their areas of expertise, managing tasks independently, taking responsibility, and making key decisions.
This empowerment nurtures professional development and opens up broader career opportunities for all employees.

Such an innovative and flexible human resource policy has paved the way for many long-standing employees, who joined Shinhan Life Vietnam in its early days, to achieve significant career milestones. These individuals have introduced their own creative initiatives at work or taken advantage of opportunities to transition to roles better aligned with their skills and aspirations.
By fostering this culture of trust and growth, Shinhan Life continues to solidify its reputation as a dynamic and supportive workplace in Vietnam’s life-insurance industry.
CEO Bae Seung Jun, one of the pioneers in establishing Shinhan Life in Vietnam, has been the driving force behind this distinctive human resource strategy.
"The growth of the company goes hand in hand with the development of each employee. We prioritise creating the best possible working environment, offering opportunities for employees to unlock their potential, fostering a culture of connection and collaboration, while ensuring competitive benefits and welfare policies," said Bae Seung Jun.

Last August, Shinhan Life Vietnam was honoured as one of the ‘Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024’ by HR Asia, a major human resources (HR) publication in the region. This prestigious recognition was based on an independent survey conducted by HR Asia among Shinhan Life Vietnam employees and a rigorous evaluation process adhering to international standards.
As a relatively new insurance provider, Shinhan Life leverages creativity and innovation as key drivers of growth, aiming to establish a unique footprint in the market.
Management understands that fostering a happy work environment is essential for unlocking employee creativity. By creating an environment where employees feel valued and inspired, Shinhan Life empowers its team to propose groundbreaking ideas, whether in product development or operational processes, laying the foundation for effective and sustainable growth.
Shinhan Life has emerged as a company that values its people as much as its business performance. The insurer’s office culture emphasises genuine care for every employee and has created a workplace where individuals feel valued and supported, much like being part of a family.
This commitment to building a positive and inclusive work environment has been a key factor in fostering long-term employee loyalty.
One remarkable aspect of Shinhan Life Vietnam is the absence of hierarchy in communication and information sharing. Fresh graduates have the opportunity to collaborate and engage directly with senior management, and even the management board when needed, reflecting the company’s dedication to empowering its workforce at every level.

This paid off during the HR Asia Awards last August, where, as a follow-up to being recognised as one of the 'Best Companies to Work for in Asia', it also received the award for 'Best Employee Caring Company 2024'.
Attracting the right employees has become a priority for life insurance companies striving to achieve strong results in 2025. For a young and rapidly expanding enterprise like Shinhan Life, a proactive, creative, and fulfilled workforce is the driving force behind its growth objectives, paving the way for the company to secure a solid position in the market.
