Many foreign businesses are now gaining greater confidence operating in China. After having explored the most developed cities they are now moving to second or lower-tier cities or rural areas, and thus face new medical and security challenges.
The Chinese government has made it a priority to improve the health and safety of the employees working in a hazardous work environment. Despite new regulations and improvements, the Chinese government still reported 90,000 work-related deaths last year. Additionally, China faces a number of security threats which companies should plan for.
From a business perspective, companies operating abroad not only have to consider their duty of care to employees, but also examine the impacts these risks have on their business continuity. To do so, they must take a closer look at potential disruptions their businesses can suffer as a result of risks they could mitigate, and develop a plan that not only diminishes these risks but also helps them respond to crisis situations.
European Chamber Tianjin Chapter, in cooperation with International SOS and Control Risks cordially invite you to a complimentary afternoon Seminar on Wednesday 17th March.
Our specialists will review with you the medical and security risks your operations could encounter and offer tangible solutions. They will also present you with real case studies.
