Lazada Vietnam believes ‘People’ is the key success for sustainable growth. We are growing our local talents and leaders to significantly drive the eCommerce industry.  Lazada Vietnam is seen as the most dynamic and attractive working environment, especially young and bright local talents, and seen as the top “eCommerce University” where the eCommerce Talents are well trained and serving this industry across the country and Southeast Asia. To strategize the local talents development agenda, Lazada Vietnam has focused on the following people initiatives: 

Building Millennial Talents and Leaders

96% of Lazada Vietnam’s population and 60% of management team are millennials. Therefore, most of the talent development initiatives rotates around building millennial talents and leaders with a wide range of learning, development, and engagement programs.

Lazada’s most recognized young local talent development program is Management Associate Program (MAP) in which the local talents go through challenging assessment rounds to be selected for the 24-month eCommerce journey where they are rotated to learn and serve at various functions under an intensive training roadmap.  The program design aims to build a holistic eCommerce experience so that the Management Associates could perform at their best and prepare themselves for future leadership growth.

In addition to MAP, Lazada Vietnam also builds a leadership development roadmap through the Leadership Acceleration Program (LEAP) for young talents who are identified as high performers, potential, and dedicated value demonstrators and LEAP+ for senior managers.  With the intensive learning & development programs, the LEAP outcomes are to prepare the successor pipeline for management level from 01 – 02 years.

International Standard Training Programs 

In addition to diverse skill development programs through offline and online learning channels, Lazada focuses on building typical eCommerce capabilities with international standard training formats. More than 60% of Lazadians from the eCommerce team has been intensively trained with Dragon Inn Program, an intensive category management program designed and facilitated by Alibaba Group to develop eCommerce competence for local Talents. 

Leadership development and culture plays the essential part at Lazada Vietnam as we believe Lazada’s success inspired by visionary leaders whose performance is not only valued but also their people and leadership quality to lead their team to achieve the dream. Leadership Fundamentals Program is well-tailored by Lazada Group to grow middle managers.

Employee Recognition Programs

At Lazada, we value the long-term talents growth, besides the international exposure for talents to internal career opportunities and high-class training agenda, we reward the key talents through the valuable stock program dubbed as Restricted Stock Units in which the Talents could gain a highly-valuable reward in cash for their long years of
service at Lazada.

For talents from 01 to 05 years of service, Lazada also values their dedication through the Loyalty Program Scheme.

Lazada As Our Home

Fun and Delight are a part of Lazada’s dynamic working culture.  Workplace is a fun place; therefore, at Lazada we build a delightful office with entertainment equipment (game station, table tennis, table soccer, well-equipped pantry, etc.) and a Happiness Room where Lazadians could relax and enjoy fun moments together beside work-hours. Mega eCommerce campaigns are organized as big festivals to engage and uplift the morale of Lazadian Warriors. The built culture is based on trust, cooperation, and innovation in which each Lazadian could grow to be a better version of himself or herself.

With a huge growth potential for eCommerce in Vietnam, Lazada believes in the future we build for a sustainable online shopping ecosystem through not only investing in technology, empowering local SMEs, but essentially to develop local Talents who are driving for the dream of Lazada.
