 If you employ a workforce in China or you're considering setting up Chinese operations, you don't want to miss the all-new HR Hero audio conference on CD, Doing Business in China: What HR Needs to Know.


This audio conference on CD is hosted by an attorney experienced in advising employers with China operations -- who will explain the key differences in U.S. and Chinese employment law.

In just 90 minutes, we'll cover:

  • The new demographic picture in China: Is the supply of workers willing to work for low pay and undesirable labor conditions drying up? What does the future hold for employers as China’s one-child policy begins to change population numbers? A researcher with research firm GaveKal Dragonomics has said the number of 15- to 24-year-olds (the common age group in Chinese factories) is expected to fall by one-third by 2022. How will that change affect worker bargaining power?
  • Recent changes in China's labor force: With work stoppages and mass demonstrations at Chinese banks and manufacturing plants making headlines around the world, what should U.S. employers expect? Do the protests signal a sea change in labor relations, or are they local and specific to particular plants?
  • How the labor union climate is changing: Is the official government-run union losing relevance? Could "U.S. style" unions gain a foothold? Striking workers have not only demanded higher salaries, but they also have demanded to elect their own union leaders.
  • How labor force changes are expected to affect employment laws such as minimum wage laws and requirements related to safety and working conditions
  • The likelihood of new laws on pay, overtime, and working conditions in the wake of recent worker suicides
  • How the Anti-Monopoly Law affects U.S. companies with workplaces in China: Certain aspects of the law could be enforced in a discriminatory way against foreign companies in China.
  • New developments on the legislative front, particularly the Labour Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China, which took effect on January 1, 2008, and the changes it made in contracts and severance pay
  • The critical cultural differences U.S. employers need to understand before considering Chinese operations
  • Key laws and customs affecting recruitment, hiring, discipline, and termination
  • What U.S. employers need to know about layoffs in China
