We are pleased to invite you to the next
Human Resources Working Group meeting that will be held at the
Hayworth Creativity Centre (inside EU Chamber Building) on
Thursday, October 12th 2006 at 6 p.m.
Staff retention remains a major concern for companies operating in China. The shortage of top quality staff enhances the problem, and studies suggest that less then 10% of Chinese job candidates have the appropriate skills required by companies with global operations and ambitions. High staff turnover not only disrupts business but also dramatically increases company costs. The obvious question is what can you do?
Studies have shown that Best Employers understand that their competitive advantage is their people and that a highly engaged workforce translates into business success. They enjoy lower employee turnover, higher revenue growth, lower recruitment costs and higher employee productivity growth.
We are delighted to welcome two Top 10 Best Employers in the Hewitt Best Employers in China 2005 study, Mr. Raymond Lo (for his CV please click here), General Manager for NanFang Lee Kum Kee Co., Ltd, and Ms. Sim Siew Kim (for her CV please click here ), HR Director for TNT CHina in addition to Mr. Beecher Ashley-Brown (for his CV please click here ).
