Culture & Career

Since 2007, minds, hearts and hands have shaped and nourished Danson into how we are today. Danson’s working environment helps us grow by learning from each other from professional and interpersonal skills to maintaining positive attitude towards life.

Core values

At Danson we respect our members’ differences and are guided by our 5 core values:

Listening

We practice listening to understand rather than to respond. Listening helps us practice empathy and cultivate each individual’s emotional intelligence.

Learning

Have we grown up by learning from clients, partners, colleagues and others not only in professional manners but also everyday life attitudes.

Integrity

We are aware and proud of our role and responsibility in participating in the process of disseminating communication messages to improve the health and quality of life of the community in general, including ourselves, families and loved ones.

Curiosity

We always ask questions when we are not sure. Every question can prevent an incident from happening, improve the quality of work, motivate us to find answers together, and be a solution to a problem that many are concerned about.

Trust

We put absolute faith in the creativity, passion and sense of responsibility of each member. We always believe in life’s positive functioning and people’s kindness.

We cultivate a collaborative team environment where individuals with distinct strengths and qualities learn from one another and inspire mutual growth, all while delivering joy and satisfaction to our clients.

We believe in your aesthetic judgment and encourage you to express personal style through your attire. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident while remaining appropriate for the work environment. 

For client events, you may be required to wear event-specific T-shirts, formal attire, or other appropriate clothing. The team will discuss and agree on a dress code for each event to ensure brand consistency and respect for our clients and partners.

The primary language used at Danson is Vietnamese. However, for specific tasks requiring communication with English-speaking clients, you'll have the opportunity to utilize your language skills with additional team support provided when needed. 

At Danson, we value individual’s perspective and communication styles, and expect everyone to communicate respectfully with their colleagues. 

External communication should always be professional, respectful, and aligned with social norms.

We encourage our employees to prioritize their physical and mental well-being through activities like walking, exercise, meditation, and yoga. We've cultivated an open and respectful work environment where everyone can reach their full potential and contribute their ideas. Additionally, we maintain a strict no-smoking policy and actively promote awareness about the harmful effects of smoking.

  • Morning: 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM
