The dynamism of the Chinese economy is undeniable. Chinese companies represent almost 20% of fortune 500 companies, and account for 1 in 3 of the world’s unicorns (startups valued at more than USD 1 billion). As all HR practitioners know, leading domestic companies have long since surpassed Foreign Invested Enterprises in their ability to offer attractive compensation and benefits packages. Where inconsistencies often emerge however is in providing an employee experience in line with that financial offering.
In the battle for talent European companies greatest weapon remains their ability to create an employee experience in keeping with their global headquarters by incorporating polices to guarantee employees work life balance, employee’s physical and mental health, a diversity of ideas and an inclusiveness in decision making.
The European Chamber is delighted to invite some of the country’s leading HR practitioners to share how they articulate an employee value proposition that goes beyond salary, an EVP and a culture that allows foreign companies to compete against world class Chinese companies and to keep their talent happy, healthy and motivated.
