ABSTRACT
Human resources management is a major challenge for foreign companies doing business in China. While labour force population is shrinking, the lack of talents and high staff turnover rates are deeply affecting business productivity. However, foreign SMEs do not focus enough on all the aspects of talent management, that includes recruitment, development and retention of talents in the company. Understanding how China’s education and training system works, what university graduates look for when applying for jobs, learning how to attract, motivate and, most of all, retain young professional talents, are a few of the elements that will be discussed during this first roundtable organized by the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce and ThinkIN China.
This is a special event designed for CICC members and ThinkIN China Registered Members.
Please RSVP before Thursday, May 12th 2016
