Human Resources Conference Offers Insider Insights Into Doing Business in China
China is the world’s
fastest-growing economy, offering significant opportunities for U.S.
businesses, but also a unique set of HR challenges. Quick employee
turnover, widely varying employment laws between provinces, recruiting the
right talent, benefits desired by Chinese workers — are all issues for
companies entering China and organizations already there.
“Making China Your ‘Gold Mountain,'” a new conference and exposition in
South San Francisco on May 23-25, explores the unique human resource
difficulties that can significantly affect business success in China. The
conference is hosted by XMei International, a business consulting and
development organization with expertise in Chinese business practices and
their cultural impact.
The conference is the first event in the U.S. with influential Chinese
HR executives and business leaders from multinational companies, private
Chinese companies, Chinese consulting firms and the government.
Among the abundance of practical advice, attendees will learn:
* Compensation and benefits trends, including how much to pay employees,
how to pay them, required benefits, typical benefits package, and what
benefits are most valued by Chinese workers
* How to find top talent in China, including how to advertise jobs, and
keys to retaining employees in a culture where the average length of
employment is two years.
* How Chinese culture impacts doing business in China, including how to
work effectively across cultures
* How to outsource HR services in China, including what HR products and
services are available in the Chinese marketplace
* How to comply with Chinese employment law — and the critical
differences amongst provinces.
* Which Chinese provinces are the most labor friendly and how to set up
business in China.
Delivering keynote speeches will be Dr. George Koo and Dr. Irv Beiman.
Dr. Koo, the Director of Chinese Services Group for Deloitte and Touche,
will speak on the conference theme, “Making China Your ‘Gold Mountain.'”
Dr. Beiman, Chairman of eGate Consulting, Shanghai, will address the links
between challenges and solutions of doing business in China to HR
requirements there. He’ll discuss five root causes of the HR problems that
hinder successful execution of business in China.
“This conference and expo represent a great opportunity to develop a
Chinese business network,” said Xiaoli Mei, president and founder of XMei
International. “Our keynoters and session speakers are completely
accessible. Those doing business in China, and those considering it, will
benefit from the educational and social components of the event.”
