Association and connection with worldwide and local organizations are required to have a comprehensive image of the future path with specific beliefs and enthusiasm. Ms Thanh's last letter, "C is her capacity to polish her abilities and knowledge so she may boldly enter the marketplace.

Ms Thanh said that women have greater endurance than males and the determination to produce goods and ideals for society.

“I believe the main difference and benefit for businesswomen is endurance rather than resilience.” Deloitte's boss remarked, “Women may not be able to leap as high as males, but they have the endurance, tenacity, and determination to develop themselves and achieve their objectives.”

Ms Thanh said that to establish a fair and joyful working environment, firms must foster a culture of diversity and inclusion, promote gender equality in the workplace, and implement flexible working arrangements. To assist all members of the organization in balancing life, work, and family.

“In everyday employment or positions of company leadership, men and women are positioned equally and without a difference.” There is no particular career that is tailored to either males or females. We already have a notion of gender disparity when we wonder which careers are for women and which ones are for males.

That is also the view of Vietnam's auditing industry's “iron lady,” who is also the President of the Vietnam Business Network to promote the growth of women’s power—a businesswoman who is engaged in supporting women's empowerment. Gender equality challenges in the business world

There are several additional titles under her professional experience area. That is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Center to Support Community Service Initiatives (CSIP), as well as the Chairman of the Business Network's Founding Council.

As President of Deloitte Vietnam, she works with the company’s leadership to instil new values of professional knowledge and leadership abilities in the team to establish a significant Deloitte difference value. It is a world-class organization, yet it is owned and directed by Vietnamese people.

She promotes the growth of the social enterprise community at CSIP by combining the value of enterprises with social impact, preserving and generating meaningful community business outcomes.

The humanities, with an emphasis on health, education, the environment, and other social concerns that the government needs to publicize.

VBCWE was founded in Vietnam as part of a network of ties with three other nations, namely the Philippines, Indonesia, and Myanmar, to improve and genuinely implement gender equality in the workplace in the region. personal financial situation. As a result, chances for the development of female managers and leaders are created in each firm and throughout the corporate community. As a result, women's economic power grows.

She was appointed President of the Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD) at the end of 2018, the country's first independent private organization committed to promoting standards and best practices.

With the assistance of the Worldwide Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, to assist the Vietnamese business community in raising corporate governance knowledge and capability for sustainable development and international reach. When she's not running for office, she's also the Vice President of the Vietnam Association of Women Entrepreneurs (VAWE).

She has encountered surprising contradictions in her almost 40 years of working in the auditing industry--a position that is thought to be for women. At the start of the profession, around 70% of workers were female, whereas 30% were male.

However, in senior leadership positions, this percentage gradually shifts, with around 70–80 per cent of males, while women account for only about 20–30%.

According to Ms Thanh, equal society and equal opportunity mean that when presented with a job opportunity, whether male or female, whoever has the strongest enthusiasm should grab it; and be more capable of growth; this is true for both men and women without exception.

“Successful professions are for leaders who work hard and play extremely passionately to produce a lot of value for themselves,” Mrs Thanh added. “When we conduct business and are female entrepreneurs, it is critical that we do what we do so that our partners perceive us as leaders and trustworthy partners, not as women”

According to the President of Deloitte Vietnam, the most significant hurdle to achieving gender equality in Vietnam is female bias. When we think of women, we frequently think of their roles as wives and mothers.

Women are often too influenced by social norms, and it's hard to break through regional cultural and family rules, which stop them from growing rather than anyone else.

“We need to break down that barrier for female workers, young people, and mid-level female employees,” Deloitte's President said.

Thanh agreed that to be a successful woman and ascend to higher places, a woman must have faith in her ability to accomplish everything like a man and overcome biases on her own.
