Human resources topics such as rising labor costs, talent acquisition, employee retention, and compliance with Chinese labor law remain important challenges for German companies operating in China.
The HR Forum in Beijing brought together HR professionals, business leaders, and representatives of the German business community to discuss key people-related issues from both a China and headquarters perspective. Topics included international assignments, recruitment, employee development, and legal considerations for managing local organizations in China.
Among the speakers, Kai Mütze, Managing Director of IAC Unternehmensberatung GmbH, shared practical perspectives on international assignments. Dr. Oliver Prüfer, Head of Human Resources, Recruitment & Training at German Industry & Commerce Greater China, discussed recruitment and the specific challenges of the Sino-German business environment. Dr. Nils Seibert, Head of Legal & Investment at German Industry & Commerce Greater China, addressed key aspects of Chinese labor law relevant to international employers.
For executive search professionals supporting German and international companies in China, the event provided valuable insights into recruitment, labor market developments, international mobility, and the HR challenges associated with building and leading successful organizations in the Chinese market.
