Dear Working Group Member,

Global mobility is a complex issue, and getting it right means mastering the tax implications, building attractive propositions for candidates, and developing effective return programs. The Human Resources Working Group is delighted to invite you to attend a presentation and discussion on the Outbound Mobility Trends – Building a Culture of Mobility and Enhancing Employee Experience, which will take place on Friday, 6th December, from 09:30 to 11:30, at the European Chamber Shanghai office, where our speakers will share their insights into how organisations can identify, track and report the data that is required to build a culture of mobility, including success measures and return on investment, and assess the significance of mobility to employees’ experience life cycles, and then move toward a mobility strategy that focuses on and harnesses this talent.

Chinese government authorities have recently issued a series of policies and draft amendments to push forward the establishment of the Social Credit System (SCS). Foreign enterprises are particularly concerned at how the SCS could affect the business operation of their Chinese subsidiaries.

As the Social Credit System will be largely in place by the end of 2020, SCS is no longer just a vision. With the window of opportunity rapidly closing for companies to prepare for these regulatory ratings, companies need to stay alert for the upcoming the SCS and expect that heavy non-compliance will immediately lead to a listing as a distrusted entity, followed by costly sanctions.

Chinese government authorities have recently issued a series of policies and draft amendments to push forward the establishment of the Social Credit System (SCS). Foreign enterprises are particularly concerned at how the SCS could affect the business operation of their Chinese subsidiaries.

The SCS will establish an information-sharing platform covering all the rating information on all companies registered in China. In principle, the equal enforcement of regulations will likely to create a more level playing field. However, this may be an overly optimistic interpretation, as the system does have the potential for discriminatory use towards international companies, as well as other major concerns such as the “joint sanctions” – blacklisted companies will receive not only sanctions from the government enforcement authority, but should restrictions and negative treatment from other government agencies.
