If you have operations in China or are considering entering this enormous new business market, you may be facing a tremendous labor crisis. With international firms investing more than $1 billion per week in this once-closed economy, the competition for managers and professionals is fierce. A recent Mercer survey estimates the turnover rate in China at an alarming 87% for white collar workers aged 25 to 35 -- spawning a severe shortage of financial specialists, lawyers, accountants, and other key technical and managerial performers. Adding to the challenge of attracting and retaining key talent is the new PRC Labor Contract Law (LCL) that went into effect January 1, 2008. The new law could significantly alter the way U.S. employers address severance pay, noncompete clauses, layoffs, the formulation of company policies, and the role of labor unions. Under one provision, employees who have worked for one organization for 10 consecutive years are entitled to labor contracts with no fixed time frames -- basically granting workers permanent employment. The law also requires employers to contribute to their employees' social security accounts and set wage standards for workers on probation and overtime. If you and your Chinese managers aren't up to speed on these and other emerging issues, you're operating on dangerous ground. Take a proactive step to protect your organization and tap into China's burgeoning market by registering for HR Hero's all-new audio conference, Doing Business in China: What HR Needs to Know. In just 90 minutes you'll learn the leading challenges to U.S. employers with operations in China, from numerous national, provencial, and local labor regulations to intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement.
