Rethinking how development teams scale

Experienced developers from Vietnam, working as a natural extension of your internal team

Facilitated Work Hub (FWH) was founded in Vestfold, Norway in 2002, and in 2008 we established our subsidiary in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here we developed our hybrid model giving clients access to top senior developers in Vietnam who integrate seamlessly with their internal teams.

FWH was created out of first-hand frustration with developer shortages and traditional outsourcing models that lacked transparency, control, and long-term ownership. Our founders, Øystein and Uma, set out to build a better alternative, one focused on quality, trust, local presence in Vietnam, and strong collaboration across borders.

We operate as a single, integrated organisation across multiple regions. Our sales team is based in Oslo, our developers and operational leadership are located in Vietnam, and our executive leadership, including the CEO and CMO, is based in Australia.

Across time zones and cultures, we work as one team, guided by shared values, open communication, and a consistent focus on quality in everything we do.

Built for long-term success

We help bridge cultural and operational differences to ensure predictable collaboration, low turnover, and high team satisfaction. Our model is built on principles such as trust, transparency, and accountability.

In practice, this means flat team structures, inclusive leadership, a high level of autonomy, and close follow-up, enabling seamless collaboration over time, even across distance.

Presence in Vietnam

We are physically present where your team is based. Our on-site culture and collaboration advisor in Vietnam acts as a key point of connection, supporting both developers and clients in day-to-day collaboration.

This gives you local insight combined with a strong understanding of Western working styles, an essential bridge for effective, long-term teamwork.

Cultural advisory and HR partnership

We offer more than recruitment. We support the full lifecycle of your extended team, from recruitment and onboarding to cultural alignment, performance follow-up, and team development.

Our culture and collaboration advisor in Vietnam ensures that your new developer(s) understand your ways of working, expectations, and company culture. We support you as an employer and client through regular dialogue, guidance, and ongoing HR support.

For companies looking to establish their own legal subsidiary in Vietnam, we can assist with the entire process, from registration and recruitment to office setup, back-office support, and daily operations.

Office environment and community

We host developers for multiple companies in a safe, professionally managed office environment. Developers work permanently and only for your company, never rotating between clients or projects.

This setup supports faster cultural integration, stronger team cohesion, and long-term stability for both clients and developers.
