I. Inntroduction

In the context of rapid business growth and technology driven operations today,

organizations must embrace digital transformation to maintain competitiveness and

thrive. Petrolimex, a leading petroleum conglomerate in Vietnam, recognizes the

importance of digital transformation and has embarked on a journey to leverage

technology to enhance its operations. As a Human Resources consultant for Petrolimex,

my role is to develop a strategic HR plan to supplement the company's mission of

recruiting market savvy talent with a focus on digital transformation. In the initial phase,

a talent attraction plan has been proposed, targeting individuals with high skills and

expertise in the digital field. The current second phase requires building a

comprehensive HR plan that plays a key role in optimizing Petrolimex's digital

transformation initiative outcomes. This plan will not only involve careful selection and

recruitment of suitable candidates but also encompass training and motivation to ensure

active participation of employees in driving the company's digital transformation

strategy. The proposed HR plan for Petrolimex emphasizes the importance of both

technological collaboration and workforce cooperation in achieving successful digital

transformation goals. It focuses on crucial strategies such as talent identification,

nurturing, and empowerment. It will include methods for talent selection and

recruitment, goal oriented training initiatives, and effective motivation strategies. The

aim is to cultivate a culture of innovation and adaptability where employees are

encouraged to drive the digital transformation journey. By implementing these

measures, Petrolimex aims to become a technologically advanced organization,

customer centric, ready to thrive in the dynamic petroleum industry landscape. HR

interventions will create a workforce ready for the future, leading the company's digital

transformation process and ensuring sustainable and successful development in the

future.
II. Introduction of Digital Business Transformation plan (P4)

1. Overview

In the rapidly evolving global landscape, digital transformation has emerged as a

crucial supportive factor for organizations seeking innovation, operational optimization,

and delivering exceptional customer experiences. Petrolimex, a visionary petroleum

conglomerate, has recognized the immense potential of digital technology to

revolutionize its business operations and assert itself as a market leader. As a key player

in this transformation journey, I am pleased to present an overview of Petrolimex's

digital business transformation process.

With a firm commitment to excellence and a progressive mindset, Petrolimex has set

forth a bold mission to drive digitization across its strategic business initiatives. This

transformation initiative includes a comprehensive strategy aimed at reshaping

traditional operations and applying advanced technologies to achieve higher operational

efficiency while placing the customer at the center.

The foundation of Petrolimex's digital business transformation lies in its efforts to

attract and retain top talent with deep understanding of the digital landscape. By

fostering a culture of innovation and embracing change, the company has positioned

itself as an attractive destination for skilled professionals, visionary leaders, and forward

thinking individuals eager to be part of this technological revolution.

Throughout this journey, Petrolimex's digital transformation team has closely

collaborated with diverse experts from various departments, including Human

Resources, IT, Operations, and Marketing. This interdisciplinary approach ensures

comprehensive alignment of objectives, seamless integration of digital initiatives across

multiple functions, and drives overall growth.

2. The company's digital transformation plan

2.1.Smart payment – Countless benefits: Digital Transformation of Payment

During the digital technology boom, many businesses have adopted new sales

methods to bring benefits to customers. Specifically, non cash payment is utilized when

using services at petroleum distribution units nationwide. Petrolimex gas stations accept

various enhanced payment methods, including (1) VISA and MasterCard credit cards; (2)

Domestic ATM cards branded with Napas; (3) Scanning VNPAY QR codes. Collaborating

with Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (HDBank), the project

applies the latest payment technologies to ensure quick authentication, user friendly

experience, and safe point accumulation (Petrolimex). Non cash payment for purchasing

fuel aims to ensure safety, transparency, help customers control expenses, and reduce

pressure on sales staff by limiting risks associated with cash usage such as loss, theft,

damage, and fire. Additionally, customer data is retained to make informed decisions

regarding Petrolimex's business.

Figure 4: Non cash Payment in Petrolimex (Petrolimex, 2023)

2.2.DOffice the digital office solution: Digital Transformation of Management

In recent years, the Group has incorporated information technology and

digitization into its management and business production operations. To continue

leveraging the achievements of Industry 4.0, meeting the demands for improved

operational efficiency, business management, and enhancing the competitiveness of the

enterprise. On November 13, 2023, in Hanoi, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group

(Petrolimex/Group) officially introduced the Digital Office application (Petrolimex Doffice)

on the mobile device platform, smartphones. With the introduction of Doffice, Petrolimex

creates a paperless digital working environment for management and organizational

operations. Doffice helps management and employees to receive and resolve tasks in the

digital environment, anytime, anywhere; Saves time, effort, and costs; contributes to

increasing productivity and efficiency in business management; establishes a

collaborative and professional working environment with tight coordination, connectivity,

synchronization, and uniformity from employees to departments, units, and the Group

according to standardized and unified processes (Petrolimex, 2023).

Figure 5: Screenshot Picture Function of Doffice (Petrolimex, 2023)

2.3.Digital transformation of operating processes

Petrolimex applies advanced technological solutions to serve the management,

administration, and monitoring of goods at all stages, from sourcing, warehousing,

internal transportation, to sales at retail outlets as follows:

1. Implementing projects/software to optimize the coordination of goods movement and

transportation operations (DOC).

2. Implementing the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) in 2024 to

manage testing information effectively.

3. Utilizing dashcam and surveillance cameras for the exit nozzles, applying seals to

transport vehicles, contributing to enhanced transportation and distribution efficiency.

These technological implementations aim to improve transportation and distribution

efficiency, enhance product quality and manufacturing effectiveness, as well as monitor

and control the production process.

2.4. Petrolimex's Self-Service Gas Station (Concept)

In the context of digital transformation and intense competition in the labor market,
attracting and retaining talent is a significant challenge for businesses. For Petrolimex
Group, maintaining and enhancing its position requires a high-quality workforce.
Therefore, developing a talent attraction strategy is a crucial task for the company.

In 2024, with the advancements in the digital era and widespread adoption of
cashless payment methods such as bank transfers, debit/credit card payments, Face ID,
etc., Petrolimex recognizes the need to digitize its fuel business units. Seizing this trend,
Petrolimex has outlined a digital transformation strategy for its fuel business units. With
the rise of electric vehicles, convenient payment methods, and internet accessibility for
individuals, there is a growing issue of congestion and delays during peak hours at gas
stations, leading to insufficient staff to handle refueling. To address this, Petrolimex
proposes a solution of Self-Service Gas Stations.
 However, implementing this solution requires significant resources, especially
human resources. Therefore, the careful selection of suitable human resources to initiate
the project is crucial for Petrolimex. Below is a draft of the Recruitment Plan for
Petrolimex's Self-Service Gas Station project.

III. Analyze internal and external factors affecting the digital transformation

plan (P4,M5)

1. Internal

1.1.Staffing

As a leading enterprise in the petroleum industry in Vietnam, Petrolimex's workforce

scale is 18,492 employees, an increase of 1.01% compared to 2021, which was 18,923

employees as quoted in the Petrolimex Annual Report 2022. Prior to the enterprise's digital

transformation campaign, Petrolimex made efforts to adapt to the digital transformation

trend to keep pace with societal development. In its position as a top petroleum

enterprise in Vietnam, Petrolimex has undertaken various activities such as:

Employee training: Petrolimex concentrates training to enhance the skills of its

employees during the transformation process, such as training sales staff to improve the

quality of sales and production. The organization conducted numerous practical training

activities to enhance the competence of employees to serve the digital transformation

program. Additionally, Petrolimex has recruited additional personnel to serve the

business and digital transformation needs of the enterprise.

Petrolimex".(Petrolimex, 2023)
1.2.Financial Resources

Looking at the overview, PLX's total capital didn't see much fluctuation in 2019 and

2020, but in 2021 and 2022, there was a significant and sudden increase. In 2021, the

total capital increased by over 3,685 billion VND compared to 2020, with equity reaching

over 28,260 billion VND, an increase of over 4,133 billion VND, accounting for over

17.13%. This increase was mainly from retained earnings, capital stock, and profits in

2021, which grew by over 1,871 billion VND compared to 2020. The amount of debt to be

repaid in 2021 was 36,531 billion VND, a decrease of over 488 billion VND compared to

2020.

Specifically, regarding short term debt, it decreased by nearly 193 billion VND,

including accounts payable which reached 15,883 billion VND, an increase of 3,973 billion

VND compared to 2020. Taxes and state obligations amounted to 2,838 billion VND, an

increase of 104 billion VND compared to 2020 (due to increased profits), and short term

borrowing was 14,225 billion VND, a decrease of 496 billion VND compared to 2020. All
short term borrowings were within their repayment terms and were undertaken to

supplement working capital and open import letter of credits (L/C) for petroleum

products. The fuel price stabilization fund also showed a negative balance of 185 billion

VND, a decrease of 3,846 billion VND compared to 2020 (as of December 31, 2020, the

fuel price stabilization fund was +3,661 billion VND). Other short term debt obligations

amounted to 2,455 billion VND, including advance payments from customers, payments

to employees for wages, bonus funds, welfare costs, and other short term liabilities.

Regarding long term debt, it was approximately 1,324 billion VND, mainly consisting

of bank loans. Total capital in 2022 grew by over 15% compared to 2021, with no major

changes in the capital structure. Specifically, total capital reached over 74,475 billion

VND, an increase of over 9,684 billion VND, accounting for 27.82% compared to 2021, of

which equity in 2022 was 27,783 billion VND, a decrease of over 477 billion VND

compared to 2021, mainly due to a decrease in undistributed after tax profits by 767

billion VND compared to 2021. Debt to be repaid in 2022 was over 46,693 billion VND,

accounting for 63% of total capital, an increase of over 10,162 billion VND compared to

2021.

Regarding short term debt: accounts payable reached 24,220 billion VND, an increase

of 8,337 billion VND compared to 2021; taxes and state obligations amounted to 1,338

billion VND, a decrease of 1,500 billion VND compared to 2021. Short term borrowings

and financial lease liabilities amounted to 13,590 billion VND, a decrease of 635 billion

VND compared to 2021. All short term debt obligations were within their repayment

terms and were undertaken to supplement working capital and open import letter of

credits (L/C) for petroleum products. The fuel price stabilization fund in 2022 was +1,986

billion VND, an increase of 2,171 billion VND compared to 2021 (as of December 31,

2021, the fuel price stabilization fund was 185 billion VND). Other short term debt

obligations amounted to 2,091 billion VND, including advance payments from customers,
payments to employees for wages, bonus funds, short term welfare costs, and other

liabilities.

Regarding long term debt, it currently stands at over 988 billion VND, and as of the

current date, the Group has no bad debts. Petrolimex's current financial situation is quite

strong. The total capital has surged in the past two years, mainly due to profit growth

and surplus capital. This indicates Petrolimex's financial capability to invest in new

projects, including digital transformation. However, digital transformation not only

requires financial resources but also willingness to change the company's culture, retrain

employees, and even change workflows. Additionally, digital transformation also requires

support from technology and IT infrastructure, which Petrolimex needs to carefully

consider. Financially, Petrolimex seems ready for digital transformation. With enormous

financial resources, digital transformation at Petrolimex is facilitated by easy access to

many resources, which is a leverage for Petrolimex to develop not only domestically but

also internationally.

1.3.Physical Resources

Petrolimex, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group, is a diversified conglomerate

with its primary sector being the production and distribution of petroleum. As a

significant player in Vietnam's energy sector, it holds a large market share in the nation's

oil industry. The company's physical resources constitute a vast and diverse system,

including various sectors such as Petroleum, Petrochemicals, Gas, Maritime transport,

Land transport, insurance, banking, construction, mechanics, equipment, trade, and

services.

Petroleum Sector: Petrolimex operates 43 directly owned units nationwide for

petroleum distribution. Internationally, it has subsidiaries in Singapore and Laos. It

possesses extensive technical infrastructure within its petroleum businesses, including

modern standard warehouses with a capacity of over 2.2 million cubic meters, pumping

systems, distribution systems, and over 570 kilometers of pipelines for petroleum

transportation. Notably, Petrolimex has a distribution network of around 5,500 retail

points nationwide, with over 2,760 owned retail outlets established over the past 66

years. These outlets are strategically located, possess high commercial value, and enjoy a

reputation for brand reliability, resulting in higher sales productivity for Petrolimex.

Petrochemical Sector:Petrolimex's Petrochemical Company operates three

warehouses in Thượng Lý (Hai Phong), Đình Vũ (Hai Phong), and Nhà Bè (Ho Chi Minh

City) with a total capacity of 52,080 cubic meters. The Nhà Bè warehouse has a capacity

of 26,800 cubic meters. In March 2019, the Đình Vũ solvent chemical warehouse was

constructed on an area of 25,370 square meters, with a total capacity of over 18,000

cubic meters, capable of receiving approximately 80,000 tons annually.

Liquefied Gas Sector: Petrolimex operates the largest capacity terminal system with

modern storage and handling technology equivalent to regional standards, with an

annual filling capacity of 108,000 tons of cylinders. The terminal system has a total

capacity of over 18,600 cubic meters located in key markets.

Financial Services: PG Bank, with a charter capital of 3 trillion VND and total assets

of 34 trillion VND, operates 80 branches and transaction offices nationwide with over

1,600 employees. Following PG Bank is PJICO, with current assets of 6.23 trillion VND,

charter capital of 1.502 trillion VND, and over 61 subsidiaries established in various

provinces/cities, building a strong network of agency and individual agents.

These assets are indispensable to Petrolimex's ability to ensure a stable and reliable

supply of petroleum products throughout Vietnam, supporting both economic

development and national security. The strategic positioning of these resources,

combined with advanced transportation and supply chain management systems, allows
Petrolimex to effectively meet market demands. Moreover, the company's commitment

to sustainability is evident through efforts to optimize resource usage and minimize

environmental impact, as highlighted in their annual and sustainability reports.

Therefore, Petrolimex's physical resources not only represent a significant capital

investment but also reflect the company's commitment to innovation, efficiency, and

responsible environmental stewardship. With abundant resources, Petrolimex solidifies

its position as a leading enterprise with vast resources, providing favorable conditions for

its digital transformation

1.4.. Access To Resources

Petrolimex, an oil company, has been successful in registering various intellectual

property rights, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights, to enhance the reputation

of their petrol stations and promote new business ventures. An important part of their

intellectual property portfolio is the trademark with the letter "P," which was introduced

for the first time at the 35th anniversary of the Group's establishment (Petrolimex, 2016).

Additionally, Petrolimex also owns an ERP SAP system serving enterprise management.

The SAP ERP system includes modules such as procurement management, sales

management, inventory management, financial accounting, managerial accounting, etc.,

which have been deployed in the petroleum business sector from the Parent Company

Vietnam National Petroleum Group to 42 subsidiaries, 21 branches, 11 affiliates, 44

warehouses and petrol depots, 118 locations, and integrated with management systems

at over 2,200 petrol stations nationwide (Petrolimex, 2013).

1.5.Current Processes

Petrolimex employs various software applications to manage different aspects of its

business operations:

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System: Petrolimex deployed an ERP system

using SAP technology and software in June 2012. This system includes modules for
purchase management, sales management, inventory management, financial accounting,
and managerial accounting. It has been implemented across the petroleum business
sector, from Petrolimex's parent company, Petrolimex Group, to 42 subsidiary
companies, 21 branches, 11 enterprises, 44 warehouses and petroleum storage facilities,
118 locations, and integrated with the management system at over 2,200 gas stations
nationwide.

Sales and Material Management Software: The EGAS solution helps businesses
efficiently manage petrol stations with digital management and automation. EGAS
digitizes store operations such as inventory management, sales, debt management,
revenue and expenditure, balancing goods, invoice management, accounting, and
integrates electronic invoicing. The automation system collects pump column signals to
monitor sales activity in real time and remotely adjusts pump prices. It also monitors
tank levels, providing real time information on temperature, inventory levels, and alerts
for potential hazards such as spills or leaks.

Electronic Invoice System: Since April 1, 2018, Petrolimex has introduced electronic
invoicing for all its member companies. Electronic invoices are generated and issued
immediately after each sales transaction at petrol stations through an automated logging
process connected to the station management software system and Petrolimex's e
Invoice software. These electronic invoices are stored for customer reconciliation
requests and monitoring by authorized agencies.

Petrolimex ID: Petrolimex ID is a customer care connection method applied across

the entire Petrolimex system since November 15, 2021. Customers with a Petrolimex ID
account earn points for purchasing fuel, which can be redeemed for fuel products
available at all affiliated petrol stations nationwide.
 Digital Office: Petrolimex implemented D office to enable employees to receive and
resolve work related tasks digitally, anytime and anywhere. This helps save time, effort,
and costs, increasing productivity and efficiency in business administration.

Non Cash Payment System: Petrolimex has updated its non cash payment system
to optimize transactions, improve customer experience, and offer flexibility in payment
methods, including international cards (Visa, Mastercard), domestic cards (Napas system
and Petrolimex HDBank co branded cards), and electronic wallets verified via QR code
within the VNPay alliance.

By integrating these diverse software solutions, Petrolimex ensures efficient business

operations while providing excellent customer service, enhancing its brand image and
reputation

2. Macro environment PESTLE

2.1.Political

Political factors, including laws, global issues, regulations, can immediately or in

the future impact your business. This politics can stem from the country where your
business is headquartered or from the policies of countries where the business operates.
It's evident that political power greatly influences the oil and gas industry in general and
specifically Petrolimex. Most notably, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to
a significant increase in global oil prices due to disruptions in Russia's oil supply. The
Vietnamese government has implemented policies to support struggling businesses post
pandemic. Specifically, the state has reduced various taxes on petroleum to support the
economy. The Ministry of Finance has stated that there are several incentive policies,
such as reducing environmental protection taxes (EPT) on gasoline and lubricants,
reducing import duties on gasoline and raw materials used in gasoline production,
contributing to supporting citizens, businesses, and the economy. This is a move to
support state owned enterprises, as the government holds a 77.67% stake in Petrolimex
(Anh, 2023).

 It can be said that this resolution has helped Petrolimex navigate market

fluctuations and the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic when facing a massive debt

burden from expenses like employee salaries during the pandemic, warehouse

costs, repair fees, and importation expenses of the Vietnamese petroleum

conglomerate. The Vietnamese government consistently provides maximum

support .

2.2.Economics

lInflation

The Red Sea region conflict has significantly impacted freight transportation. This

area includes the Suez corridor, which plays a crucial role, affecting 12% of global

transportation, 12% of oil production, 8% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, and

35% of global container traffic. The corridor serves as a vital link between leading

exporting countries in Northeast Asia (China, Japan, South Korea), Southeast Asia

(Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia), South Asia (India), as well as Middle Eastern oil and gas

supplies to major consumer markets in Europe and North America (General Statistics

Office, 2024).

Since the onset of this event, transportation costs have surged. Freight rates for

fuel tankers from the Middle East to Asia have nearly tripled since mid January, reaching

$83,000/day. These vessels mainly transport naphtha, a product used in gasoline and

plastics production. Shipping costs for refined fuel products from the Middle East to
Japan have increased by an additional 3% to $101,000/day, the highest level since 2020.

The cost of oil tankers on routes from the Middle East to Europe has also risen to

between $97,000 $117,000 per day (General Statistics Office, 2024).

This has also impacted oil price movements. According to data from the Vietnam

Commodity Exchange (MXV), oil prices reached a two month peak in the week ending

January 28, with WTI oil approaching $80/barrel. Currently, WTI oil prices are still

hovering above $75/barrel, up more than 11% in the past two months due to risks

around the Red Sea. Vietnam mainly imports crude oil from Kuwait, a Middle Eastern

country. While not directly affected by the Houthi rebel conflicts at present, fuel

transport routes from this country will face difficulties, indirectly affecting cargo

reception.

Fuel transportation and insurance costs have skyrocketed, and if the situation

continues, it will push up commodity costs significantly. Manufacturers will also have to

share some of the costs with consumers. Once fuel prices rise, many other goods will

inevitably become more expensive(General Statistics Office, 2024).

Signs of inflation in some major economies began to reappear in December 2023.

In particular, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.4% compared to the same period

last year, the highest level in three months. Notably, the US inflation rebounded higher

than the market's expectations of 3.2% and well above the Fed's 2% inflation target.

Europe's CPI also increased from 2.4% to 2.9% in December. This concern is clearly

reflected in recent views on the monetary policies of major central banks. A recent

Reuters survey of economists showed that most expect the timing of rate cuts to be

around June. This significantly affects import export activities as imported goods and

transportation become more expensive, impacting domestic manufacturing and services

(General Statistics Office, 2024).

GDP

The proportion of value added by the digital economy in the GDP for the years

2020 2023 was 12.66%, 12.88%, 12.63%, and 12.33%, respectively. The average

proportion of value added by the digital economy in the GDP for the years 2020 2023

reached approximately 12.62%, with 2023 at 12.33%. Within this, the core digital

economy sector contributed 7.42% (accounting for 60.19%), while digitization of other

sectors contributed 4.91% (accounting for 39.81%). The proportion of value added by the

digital economy in the GDP tends to decrease due to a decline in the production of

electronic products, computers, and optical products (which account for over 30% of the

total value added by digital economic activities) due to reduced global demand.

Additionally, service sectors with added value generated by the application of

information technology in production and business operations, as well as in

management and administration, are trending upwards. This reflects the government's

efforts to promote the development of information technology and communication, with

increasing digitization of economic sectors, especially service sectors, contributing to the

proportion of value added by the service sector in the GDP increasing from 6.53% in

2020 to 6.65% in 2023 (General Statistics Office, 2023).

In addition to the core digital economy sectors, some sectors with high average

value added by the digital economy for the years 2020 2023 include: Wholesale and retail

trade accounting for approximately 13% of the total value added by the digital economy;

Manufacturing and distribution of electricity, gas, hot water, steam, and air conditioning,

estimated to account for about 4% on average from 2020 2023; Manufacture of

fabricated metal products accounting for about 2%; Broadcasting and television activities

accounting for about 2%; Financial services activities about 2%. Some sectors have low

levels of digitization and almost no digitization, such as veterinary activities; social work

activities; focused care and nursing activities; manufacturing of tobacco products;

Pollution control and other waste management activities... (accounting for approximately

0.002% of the total value added by the digital economy) (General Statistics Office, 2023).

Interest Rates

In 2023, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) implemented measures to control

interest rates amidst global monetary policy fluctuations and inflationary pressures. It

was forecasted that interest rates might increase slightly, but the SBV reduced lending

rates and deposit rates to support businesses and the economy. The reserve

requirement ratio was expected to increase by 50 basis points in the first half of the year,

reaching 7% by mid year. Deposit interest rates were expected to remain stable,

averaging around 5.45%. These policies aimed to support economic recovery and growth

while maintaining macroeconomic stability (Le, 2023).

=> It can be observed that economic factors such as inflation rates, gross domestic

product, and interest rates are having a positive impact. However, the lingering effects of

economic downturn and global political instability still pose challenges for businesses in

the industry.industry.

Unemployment Rate

In 2023, there were nearly 1.07 million unemployed individuals in the labor force, a

decrease of 14.6 thousand people compared to the previous year. The unemployment

rate in the labor force in 2023 was 2.28%, a decrease of 0.06 percentage points

compared to the previous year. Thus, the implementation of comprehensive solutions

including the implementation of Resolution No. 01/NQ CP dated January 6, 2023 of the

Government on tasks, key solutions to implement the socio economic development plan,

state budget estimates, and improving the business environment, enhancing national

competitiveness in 2023 has contributed to improving the unemployment situation of

workers (General Statistics Office, 2023).

 The number of unemployed individuals in the labor force was 918.5 thousand, a

decrease of 79.8 thousand people compared to the previous year. The unemployment

rate in the labor force in 2023 was 2.01%, a decrease of 0.20 percentage points

compared to the previous year. The unemployment rate in urban areas was lower than

in rural areas (corresponding to 1.61% and 2.26%, respectively). Thus, in 2021 alone, the

Covid 19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to the urban labor market, leading to a

higher unemployment rate in urban areas than in rural areas. However, in 2022, when

Covid 19 was well controlled, our country's socio economic situation continued to record

bright spots in most sectors and fields; therefore, the labor market returned to the usual

observed trend and this trend continued in 2023, improving the unemployment situation

of workers (General Statistics Office, 2023).

Figure 5: The number of employed people categorized by economic region per

quarter, for the years 2022 2023 (General Statistics Office, 2023)..

The number of employed people categorized by economic region per quarter, for

the years 2022 2023.

Out of the total of 906.6 thousand unemployed individuals in the labor force in the

fourth quarter of 2023, the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector had the highest
proportion of unemployment at 43.6% (equivalent to 394.9 thousand people); followed

by the industry and construction sector accounting for 29.7% (equivalent to 269.6

thousand people); the service sector had the lowest proportion at 26.7% (equivalent to

242.1 thousand people). Compared to the same period last year, the agriculture, forestry,

and fisheries sector and the service sector saw decreases in the number of unemployed

workers in the labor force (decreases of 23.7 and 30.1 thousand people, respectively),

while the industry and construction sector saw an increase (an increase of 62.2 thousand

people). Thus, compared to the same period last year, workers in the industry and

construction sector are still the most affected by the unemployment situation (General

Statistics Office, 2023).

=> These favorable conditions help Petrolimex stabilize amidst market fluctuations.

However, the impact of economic downturn also moderately affects the long term

development of the enterprise.

2.1.Social

In 2023, Vietnam's population averaged 100.3 million people, with a fairly balanced

gender ratio (males accounting for 49.9% and females for 50.1%). The average

population in urban areas was 38.2 million, accounting for 38.1%, while rural areas had

62.1 million people, accounting for 61.9%. Vietnam is the third most populous country in

Southeast Asia (after Indonesia and the Philippines) and ranks 15th in the world. Due to a

decreasing trend in birth rates, the population growth rate has been gradually declining

in recent years and is forecasted to continue to decrease in the coming years (the

average population growth rate in 2022 was 0.98%, and in 2023 it was 0.84%) (General

Statistics Office, 2023).

Vietnam's population structure is shifting towards an increase in the proportion of

elderly people and a decrease in the proportion of young people. Vietnam is currently in
a period of demographic transition, characterized by both an aging population and a

golden population structure. The proportion of the population aged 0 14 years

decreased from 24.3% in 2019 to about 23.9% in 2023, while the population aged 60 and

over increased rapidly from 11.9% in 2019 to 13.9% in 2023. The population aged 15 59

accounted for 63.8% in 2019, decreasing to 62.2% in 2023 (General Statistics Office,

2023).

The urbanization rate in Vietnam continues to rise sharply due to rural to urban

migration and the expansion of administrative boundaries of urban areas. Vietnam's

urban population in 2023 was about 38.1%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points

compared to 2022, and a 1 percentage point increase compared to 2021 (General

Statistics Office, 2023).

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in 2023 was estimated to be 1.96 children per woman in

Vietnam. The fertility rate has been decreasing slightly in recent years and is projected to

continue to decline in the coming years. Vietnam's TFR is lower than the regional average

(2.0 children per woman) but higher than four countries in the region: Brunei (1.9

children per woman), the Philippines (1.9 children per woman), Thailand (1.1 children per

woman), and Singapore (1.0 child per woman). Vietnam's Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) in 2023

was 112 boys per 100 girls, indicating a high gender imbalance at birth (General Statistics

Office, 2023).

Vietnam's mortality rate remains low, reflecting the success of maternal and child

healthcare programs and efforts to improve overall living standards. The Crude Death

Rate (CDR) in 2023 was estimated to be 5.5 deaths per 1,000 population. Vietnam's

Under 1 Mortality Rate (IMR) in 2023 was estimated to be 12 per 1,000 live births, lower

than the world and Asia's averages. The Under 5 Mortality Rate (U5MR) has also shown a

slight decrease in recent years, with Vietnam's U5MR in 2023 estimated at 18.2 deaths

per 1,000 live births (General Statistics Office, 2023).

 The average life expectancy at birth in Vietnam in 2023 was 73.7 years, with males

having an average life expectancy of 71.1 years and females 76.5 years. Compared to

other countries in Southeast Asia, Vietnam's average life expectancy at birth is lower than

Singapore (83 years), Brunei (78 years), and Thailand (76 years) (General Statistics Office,

2023).

 These demographic factors are essential for the development of the oil and gas

industry in Vietnam. The substantial potential has a significant impact on increasing

the consumption of petroleum products. With a dense population and a high birth

rate, the demand for transportation is also increasing. These conditions present

opportunities for the development of Petrolimex.

2.2.Technology

Technological advancements can have profound impacts on products, services,

markets, suppliers, distributors, competitors, customers, manufacturing processes,

marketing practices, and positioning. Petrolimex, a pioneering petroleum company in

Vietnam, has applied technology to management and promoted automation in

operations to improve productivity and transparency. In the face of the development

trend of the fourth industrial revolution, Petrolimex has pioneered the application of the

latest technological achievements such as IoT (Internet of Things) and IoS (Internet of

Services) into its production and business activities. In addition, Petrolimex has

successfully deployed, applied, and operated digital systems within the enterprise such

as: human resource management system, internal document text, email system,

centralized website within the Group; providing data integration capabilities with state

management agencies such as the General Department of Customs in inspection and

supervision work at major petrol and oil warehouses. At the same time, Petrolimex also

applies 4.0 technology to clean energy production and renewable energy (Anh, 2021).

 These impacts show that technology is playing an important role in helping

Petrolimex improve and optimize its operations

2.3. Legal

Due to its status as a commodity requiring strict government control, particularly

regarding taxation, petroleum is subject to various taxes and fees, making it a specialized

industry with many legal barriers. To ensure price stability and avoid significant price

disruptions affecting production and consumption, the government maintains relatively

stable petroleum prices over extended periods, despite significant market fluctuations.

Government intervention in petroleum prices is carried out through financial

instruments. When global petroleum prices decrease, domestic prices are often not

adjusted downward accordingly; instead, they are maintained or even increased to boost
government revenue through higher import taxes and other levies. Conversely, when

global prices rise, domestic prices are adjusted upward to a lesser extent, and the

government may have to reduce levies or even provide financial support (subsidies)

through petroleum stabilization funds to companies (Minh, 2023).

In other words, pricing petroleum products must balance the interests of the state,

consumers, and businesses. This practice has constrained competition among petroleum

companies in the market. In the event of fluctuations in global petroleum prices, both the

government and businesses find themselves in a passive position (Minh, 2023).

Petroleum products are essential goods for consumers, so the imposition of various

taxes directly affects households' lives and expenditures. In Vietnam, each liter of

gasoline or diesel sold is subject to value added tax (10%), import tax (approximately

10%), special consumption tax (8 10%), and environmental protection tax. In just two

months (April 12 to June 13, 2022), gasoline prices increased six times, surpassing 32,000

VND/liter and exceeding the historical peak in July 2014 (26,140 VND/liter). This means

that the tax burden on consumers is increasing, putting pressure on reducing this

burden. This situation also poses significant disadvantages for the current petroleum

industry, as the oil and gas sector faces many risks and is heavily regulated (Minh, 2023).

=>The current legal framework in Vietnam poses numerous challenges and pressures on

Petrolimex and the petroleum industry as a whole, stemming from regulatory measures

and taxation on their products.

 2.4.Environment

Petrolimex, Vietnam's National Petroleum Group, has been actively engaging in

sustainability practices, as reflected in their annual Sustainability Reports. The 2022

report highlights the company's commitment to environmental stewardship, detailing

initiatives to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency across operations. In the

face of global challenges such as the geopolitical conflict and economic inflation in 2023,

Petrolimex has continued to prioritize sustainable development, recognizing the

relationship between environmental responsibility and long term business success. The

company's efforts include adhering to strict environmental regulations, investing in

cleaner technologies, and maintaining transparent communication with stakeholders

regarding environmental performance. These measures not only contribute to the global

fight against climate change but also enhance Petrolimex's corporate image and

stakeholder trust, paving the way for a more sustainable future in the energy

sector(Petrolimex, 2023).

IV. The proposal of human resources to implement this plan, including job

this is necessary. Therefore, the Digital Transformation Department for Petrolimex

method facilitated by computers and communication technology, enables employees to
familiarize themselves with storage technology, management software, and more,
bringing them closer to digital technology transfer and transformation.

disengagement. To address these issues, Petrolimex has chosen to implement a delivery
style that enhances training effectiveness by selecting user-friendly software to excite
employees about the learning process. Interactive elements, such as quizzes and
discussions, are incorporated to maintain engagement and focus. At the end of each

VI. Conclusion

Digital business transformation and talent attraction in this process are crucial.
Petrolimex, operating in the high-risk oil and gas sector, faces significant competition
from both domestic and international enterprises, which also make considerable efforts
to attract customers and recruit talent. The company has implemented several
successful human resource management strategies, including building a strong employer
brand, offering competitive salaries and benefits, and creating a positive and supportive
work environment. These strategies have enabled the company to build a skilled and
experienced workforce, contributing significantly to its success. Additionally, Petrolimex
has made efforts to integrate digital technology into its business operations. These digital
transformations have brought numerous benefits, such as operational efficiency through
process automation, improved decision-making, cost reduction, increased
competitiveness, product and service innovation, meeting customer needs, and
enhancing customer experience.

Recruiting talent for Petrolimex focuses on addressing ongoing issues within the
company while creating digital transformation solutions to foster the group's
development. This strategy is designed to help Petrolimex attract and retain top talent
necessary for executing a digital business transformation. This approach can assist
Petrolimex in achieving business objectives, including continual innovation, new product
and service development, expansion into new markets, and building a strong corporate
culture. The strength of the talent recruitment strategy lies in creating sustainable
organizational effectiveness and achieving business goals, including attracting and
retaining top talent, which can help Petrolimex achieve its business ambitions. However,
this strategy also has weaknesses and challenges, particularly regarding competition with
other companies in the industry and retaining talent in a competitive labor market.
In conclusion, integrating business digital transformation with the talent recruitment
strategy could be key to Petrolimex's long-term success and maintaining a competitive
stance in the oil and gas industry. A flexible combination of leveraging digital technology
to optimize operations and a talent attraction strategy to build an excellent workforce
could create a bright and sustainable future for the company. It's crucial for the company
to remain adaptable to changes in the business environment and labor market,
continuously updating and adjusting strategies to ensure they meet the increasingly
difficult and diverse needs of the market.

In my report, I have diligently provided necessary and relevant documentation to fully

meet the "Pass" and "Merit" requirements. Each component of the research has been
meticulously prepared, offering thorough analyses supported by credible sources and
compelling examples to strengthen the persuasiveness of my arguments. While I
recognize that I may not have met all the "Distinction" requirements, I believe the quality
and diligence of this task merit such distinction.
