The Working Group (WG) is the core activity of European Chamber. Until today, 31 Working Groups concerning divers industries, as well as horizontal topics like Human Resources, have been set up to meet monthly. Opinions of enterprises are summarized in annual reports to form the Position Paper of European Chamber, which is also the basic of our lobbying campaign.

European Chamber initiated its HR Working Group in Chengdu, aiming to provide a platform to exchange information and promote awareness on HR and labour related issues for local FIEs. It allows a regular and systematical dialogue with other HR managers. Although only member companies have access to WG meeting in other Chapters, European Chamber wishes to keep the platform open to all companies in Chengdu. However, only member companies will be qualified as candidates of the Chairman of Working Group.
