Talent retention is not just a "hot topic" in human resources; it is a silent challenge, especially in high-paced service industries like hospitality and tourism. In Vietnam, with its booming tourism sector and the proliferation of 5-star hotels in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang, the demand for high-quality personnel has never been stronger. Yet, many managers admit: recruiting is easy, but retaining is hard. The pressure of long shifts, emotionally demanding work, and tight deadlines can lead even the best employees to burnout.

Additionally, the mentality of valuing foreign goods still exists among a segment of consumers, making imported products more appealing and posing significant challenges for domestic garment businesses.

Motivated by this concern, a research team from the ISB College of Talents at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) analyzed data from over 6,000 global banks from 2002–2019 to assess the impact of climate adaptation readiness and the role of different ownership types on bank performance.
