“100 Vietnam Best Place to Work” aims to honor the enterprises with brands considered as best employers by conducting a survey to employees across the industry, based on 40 criteria and key factors of creating great workplaces. This year, the “100 Vietnam Best Places to Work” survey was conducted on a large scale, with recorded opinions of over 65.000 employees from more than 500 leading companies in 19 different sectors and industries in Vietnam. The method of analyzing and ranking results were verified by Intage Vietnam.

Significantly, this is the first year Anphabe combined an Internal Employee Survey and an external HR survey to identify the best places to work in Vietnam. The 2021 survey’s results do not only reflect the achievements of Mondelez Kinh Do but also based on the rigorous criteria of the industry. Some of the factors which Anphabe looked at were great workplace, attractive remuneration scheme, and opportunities of career-advancing. Internally, the actual evaluation from the employees were also recognized - Engagement, Work motivation, Self-effort, and Commitment to staying with the company.

In the survey of “Happiness at Work” conducted independently by Anphabe, happiness is defined as: “Employees are TRULY HAPPY when they are mentally and emotionally engaged with their work and the organization, are motivated to contribute and devote to the company's success and are committed to the long- term development”. The survey measures employees’ satisfaction based on five groups of criteria reflecting employee’s attachment to the company, including Rational Engagement (Employees believe what they get are fair and in their self-interest), Emotional Engagement (Employees value and enjoy what they experience while working), Motivation Enablement (How their intrinsic motivation are triggered through the right impact factors), Discretionary Effort (Employees are intrinsically willing to work "beyond their duty" for the success of the company), Commitment to Stay (employees want to stick with the company and are not open to external career opportunities).
