This partnership combines Workday’s AI-powered HCM platform with Coteccons’ deep understanding of the Vietnamese market and the unique complexities of the construction sector. Workday, which serves more than 60 per cent of Fortune 500 companies, is an enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents. Coteccons leads localisation and implementation to ensure the system meets the practical operational needs of the industry.

In a sector traditionally slower to adopt digital transformation, Coteccons views human resource management as a strategic pillar rather than a purely administrative function. The new platform is expected to enhance employee experience, support data-driven decision-making, and reduce reliance on manual processes, the company said.

The collaboration focuses on three key areas: HR transformation through a shift to a modern cloud-based platform; optimising employee experience by enabling a seamless digital work environment where employees and managers interact and make data-driven decisions; and enhancing operational efficiency by standardising and automating processes across recruitment, payroll and talent management.

Coteccons will deploy the system across its group, including seven subsidiaries: Unicons, Covestcons, Sinh Nam Façade, CTD Global, UG M&E, GEO Foundations and VSOL.

The transformation will follow a two-phase, three-step roadmap. Phase 1 will establish a unified data foundation and improve performance transparency. Phase 1B will expand to cover the full employee lifecycle and integrate payroll systems, aligning goals, competencies and compensation on a single platform. Phase 2 will scale the platform group-wide to complete the HR transformation and operate on a unified HCM system.

Nguyễn Trình Thùy Trang, chief operations officer at Coteccons, said: "With the aspiration to be recognised as an industry leader, Coteccons requires a unified and intelligent platform to match our growth pace. Choosing Workday was a strategic, long-term move driven by cultural alignment and our approach to organisational development. Workday provides the real-time data and operational flexibility we need... By placing our people at the centre – empowered by trust and led by fair, connected, and transparent data – Coteccons can proactively lead the organisation in the AI era."

Fabio Tiviti, group vice president of Field Strategy and Operations at Workday, said: “Coteccons is setting a new benchmark for the construction industry by recognising that digital transformation is a people-first initiative. With Workday, Coteccons is equipping its workforce with the same enterprise AI and data-driven insights used by the world’s leading organisations.”
