Understanding Employee Engagement and How to Become the Employer of Choice in China

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, the American Chamber of Commerce and the British Chamber of Commerce are delighted to invite you to our Human Resources Forum Seminar on Thursday, 3rd December, at 4.00 PM at the Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing.

With the demand for quality employees and scarcity of available talent intensifying in the current climate, many employers are endeavoring to increase levels of employee engagement and promote themselves as Employers of Choice. But what does it mean to be an employer of choice? What can we learn from those who have rightfully earned this title? What can we do to make employees tick?

To find the answers, join us for the discussion with our panel where our guest speakers will help you better understand the concept of employee engagement and present you the practices on how to become an employer of choice, and tips to attract and retain young talented employees.
