Management Attrition and Creating the Next Generation of Chinese Management By True Wind Consulting
A Roundtable Discussion
The European Chamber, PRD Chapter, is pleased to invite you at the roundtable discussion on one of the hottest HR topics these days in China – Managing Attrition. The issue becomes even more serious when we talk about the area of Pearl River Delta and its dynamic human resources market.
Please join our speakers in a roundtable dialogue where we will be discussing some of the key strategies employed in managing attrition in the Chinese workforce and creating the right conditions to nurture the next generation of Chinese Management.
This discussion will cover many HR issues pertinent to managing any business in Chinese with a particular emphasis on incentive creation, assessing knowledge and skill gaps, the benefits of targeted training programs and many other China management issues.
The roundtable format will provide an appropriate venue for both speakers and attendees to engage in a dialogue with each other allowing them to share their experiences and exchange ideas.
