The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to the 7th Annual HR Conference, this year taking place on November 25th at the Longemont Hotel.

"Beating Limitations": Integral HR Strategies for China Business Growth

Building on the successful HR Conferences of 2005-2010, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China Shanghai Chapter, supported by the Shanghai Human Resources Consulting Association (SHRCA) and DUSA European Association Suzhou, is delighted to be holding its 7th annual HR Conference “Beating Limitations” on November 25th 2011 at The Longemont Shanghai. By featuring dialogue and presentations from top business leaders on best practices and other recommendations, the conference highlights human resources strategies as an integral part of any corporate growth strategy.

There is an ever-present need to effectively navigate HR challenges in China – from recruitment to retention, boosting productivity, managing labour costs, fostering innovative thinking, and improving support from global HQ, to name a few – and ”Beating Limitations” uniquely unites Chinese and European CEOs and HR Directors (HRDs) to share experiences on these critical issues. Chinese and European companies see overlapping HR issues given the proliferation of Sino-European JVs and other forms of cooperation, and more generally given both European and Chinese companies in China employ significant amounts of Chinese nationals. The conference provides both European and Chinese companies an unparalleled opportunity to obtain insights from one another on the main HR challenges in China this year and beyond.

We are honored to have Mr. Jiang Yiren, Member of the Standing Committee of Shanghai’s CPPCC and Former Shanghai Vice Mayor of Shanghai to deliver the keynote speech for the conference, setting the context as a true European-Chinese dialogue on critical HR issues. For a full listing of the other speakers, including well-respected CEOs/Secretary Generals and HRDs from renown European and Chinese companies, refer to the full agenda below.
