The growing importance of the Chinese economy is no secret. As a western company, you may have come across some issues with employment regulation in China while doing your utmost to market yourselves to Chinese. To offer help and assistance in a more tailored way, the EU SME Centre and the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (BCECC) would like to invite you to our workshop: “How to manage your people in China” on Thursday, December 15, 2016, in Brussels.
EU SME Centre Legal Advisor Ludmila Hyklova will deliver the training workshop. She advises European SMEs looking to establish themselves in the Chinese market and has been involved in legal consulting on international investment and cooperation for more than 17 years. She will share her experience and provide you with some insight on internal Labour rules and how to effectively guide your employees in China.
