The results of Table 3.19 show that although the number of employees participating in annual training has increased, the quality of excellent training has decreased (from 28.75% in 2017 to 11.1% in 2018). This also reflects the current situation at BIDV in the Southeast region, which is that although professional training courses are organized regularly, the quality is not high. Most of the reason is that employees do not invest much time in training, only attending enough sessions because most of these training courses are organized on weekends or in the evening, after working hours. Moreover, training schedules or short training courses take place very frequently due to the constant changes in BIDV policies, as well as regulations of the State Bank.
Other components such as “You have the opportunity to use your skills” have an average value of mean = 3.20, with the response rate of “Agree” and “Strongly agree” being 47.9%. In addition to strict recruitment criteria, BIDV Bank also builds job descriptions for each position, helping employees to grasp the specific roles, responsibilities and tasks of each position.
each individual. The job description of a Teller at BIDV Bank is presented in Appendix 6.2. With specific job descriptions for each position, employees at BIDV Bank have a clear understanding of their work, thereby promoting their full potential and capacity in their work.
“You have the opportunity to improve the way you do your job.” has a mean of 3.26 and at the same time the rate of “Agree” and “Strongly agree” responses are both below 50%, the rate of agreement with this answer is not high. Due to the nature of work in the banking industry related to many other departments, self-improvement without following the process is not acceptable. In addition, the department that monitors the activities of all functional departments will record all operations that are not performed according to the process, thereby recording and reporting to evaluate the quality of the employee’s work. Arbitrarily or improving the process according to personal ideas without approval will affect not only the individual but also the related departments, the mentality of being afraid to take responsibility or avoiding responsibility is a common mentality of employees. Therefore, arbitrarily improving or not following the prescribed process is not possible.
Comment
Lack of opportunities for advancement is the reason why employees lack commitment to the organization. In addition, when working, they must strictly comply with procedures and regulations, which makes employees feel more or less pressured. Moreover, procedures and regulations are often changed and updated, which also partly affects the work results of employees, leading to boredom and wanting to quit.
3.3.3. Group of causes and current status of teamwork
Employees can engage with an organization if they can understand the values and goals of the organization and the development within that organization. They need to understand how their own role contributes to these and the resources available to them, as well as feel well informed about what is happening in the organization. The survey result of the factor “Teamwork” has an average value of 3.754 and this is also the component with the highest average value among the factors affecting employee engagement at BIDV Bank in the Southeast region.

With a history of 62 years of formation and development, being a large unit with a strong brand, the BIDV Code of Conduct is considered a guideline in the conduct of BIDV staff, including standards of conduct for staff and employees internally and externally (Appendix 6.3).
In addition to the BIDV Code of Conduct, BIDV Bank also developed a Code of Professional Ethics with specific content presented in Appendix 6.4.
2018: BIDV also successfully organized a series of activities to celebrate the 60th anniversary of BIDV's establishment on a system-wide scale and at typical branches. These activities contributed to fostering corporate culture values and solidarity in the common house of BIDV.
