1. Labor Market and the Pressure to Retain Workforce in Industrial Parks
In the post-pandemic economic recovery phase, industrial parks (IPs) across Vietnam—especially Biên Hòa – Đồng Nai—face fierce competition in recruiting and retaining workers. According to the General Statistics Office (2023), annual employee turnover rates in Southern IPs range from 15% to 30%, with most resignations attributed to workers feeling a lack of genuine care from employers regarding working conditions and benefits.
One of the factors highly valued by workers but often overlooked is the quality of industrial meals. A 2021 survey by the National Institute of Nutrition found that 64% of workers believe company meals directly influence their decision to stay long-term. Beyond being a basic need, meal breaks serve as an emotional touchpoint between businesses and their workforce—a moment reflecting true respect and care.
2. Industrial Meals — A Strategic Tool in Human Resource Management
In today’s era, where young workers prioritize workplace experience and quality of life, investing in quality industrial meals is not merely an obligation but a smart HR strategy.
In many advanced countries like Japan, South Korea, and Germany, companies consider their staff cafeterias a core part of talent retention policies. For instance, Toyota invests over 300 yen per meal daily, resulting in an 18% reduction in fatigue-related sick days and a 12% increase in labor productivity (Japan Health Organization, 2022).
In Vietnam, pioneers like Bizen Catering Services have recognized the strategic value of industrial meals early on. With over a decade of experience serving tens of thousands of meals daily at factories in Biên Hòa – Đồng Nai IPs, Bizen not only ensures full nutritional adequacy but also designs menus tailored to local tastes, applies strict quality control processes, and operates the feedback program “Bizen Care – Listen & Solve Immediately.”
This creates a positive experience for workers—a direct factor in boosting engagement and reducing turnover. Bizen Catering Services understands that meals are not just energy, but culture and trust.
3. Investing in Meals Is Investing in Sustainable Development
Facing rising recruitment costs, investing in meals is a cost-effective yet powerful way to stabilize workforce retention. Quality meals keep workers healthier, reduce absenteeism, and enhance productivity—forming a foundation for sustainable growth.
