Dear Working Group members,
We are delighted to invite you to the first edition of the Human Resources (HR) Working Group Workshop of the year 2024 with the theme “Cross-Border Data Transfer for Overseas Human Resources Management” which will take place at our Shanghai Office on Thursday, 9th May 2024.
As you know, many foreign invested companies, especially multinational corporations (MNCs), need to transfer some personal information of their employees to overseas global headquarters for human resource management purpose. The PRC Law on Protection of Personal Information effective on 1 November 2021 raised statutory requirements on transferring such employees’ personal information abroad. Recently the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) rolled out the Provisions on Facilitating and Regulating Cross-border Data Flows (Provisions), which deregulate the control on cross-border transfer of employees' personal information.This changes the statutory requirements on transferring employees’ information abroad and will influence HR implementation and strategies especially for MNCs.
In this workshop, Ms. Jeanette Yu, National Chair of HR Working Group, Partner and Head of Employment & Pensions of CMS China and Ms. Panpan Tang, Senior Associate of CMS China specialized in data protection would like to update for you the latest statutory requirements under the new legal framework, share their expertise with you and answer your questions on cross-transfer of employees’ personal information.
