The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to a special lunch seminar on 5th July 2011 at the Sofitel Hyland Hotel. The seminar is designed to bring together R&D professionals to debate issues facing the HR sector.
China’s metamorphosis from a manufacturing to a service-based economy has encouraged a wave of international companies to set up Research and Development (R&D) centres across the country. Positive initiations are implemented in China’s 12th Five-Year Plan that authorities aim to provide huge incentives in terms of tax and government support. The Chinese government has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and innovation by aiming to bring up the level of expenditure on R&D to 2.2 % of Chinese GDP by 2015.
While R&D centres in China have been increased, talent acquisition across the country has become a major challenge. Competition for talent has intensified as the demand is larger than talent supply. On average, a recruiter from a technology-driven Multi-National Corporation has 40-50 vacancies to fill.
This event will address issues that aim to enlighten Human Resources in R&D area:
Talent Definition: What sort of capability & quality we source from the Chinese market? Sourcing: Channel management & internal alignment Evaluation: How to identify & validate candidate’s capabilities Who is taking the leading role in talent acquisition, HR Directors or Hiring Managers?
To shed light on this dynamic topic, we are pleased to present the following speakers:
