CAREER BUILDER - ON CRI
Lifting the Veil of Doubled Payment Offers By Robert Parkinson, CEO & Founder of RMG When it comes to the time of Chinese New Year, salary is always a hotly debated topic in the job market. People like talking about family and neighborhood issues at holiday parties and gatherings. Besides, it is quite frequent that peers talk about their work and staff treatment issues. For many years there has been much debate on what really drives people to change jobs. Various answers including salary, promotion, line manager style and organizational culture actually make people quite confused. I think that ALL those factors surely matter in job changing decisions. According to RMG’s China Talent Flow Survey 2013 (TFS2), salary is […]

英媒：松下拟向派驻中国员工发“污染津贴”
- Wednesday, 30 April 2014 07:16
资料图片：2012年8月29日，在德国首都柏林举行的消费电子展上，参观者在松下展厅观看“电视墙”。新华社记者马宁摄 据参考消息网3月14日报道 外媒称，日本松下电器产业公司开跨国公司先河，宣布将向派往中国的员工发放津贴，以补偿该国达到危险程度的污染对他们造成的危害。 据英国《金融时报》网站3月12日报道，这家日本企业12日宣布这一变动时称，中国部分城市的PM2.5浓度极高。大气中直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物能通过人的肺部进入血液，引发哮喘、癌症或心脏病。 报道称，松下派往中国的员工通常都能得到比较优厚的薪酬待遇，因为外派中国属于“苦差”，但此前松下从未明确提及人们对中国可怕的空气质量越来越大的担忧。 报道还说，挥之不去的雾霾已成为中国公众不满的焦点，尤其是在北京这样的繁华都市。北京曾在2月份遭遇连续一周的“有害”空气。空气污染也是外籍人员提到的离开中国的主要原因之一。 松下没有透露上述津贴方案涉及的日本在华员工人数或具体金额。在中国生活的中国籍员工将不会得到额外津贴。 据报道，一年来，其他公司一直在悄悄提高外籍员工的福利，但松下是第一家公开承认这一问题并为同意调往中国的员工提供津贴的公司。 总部设在北京的猎头公司罗迈国际负责人罗伯特·帕金森说：“这是我第一次听到有公司在这个问题上如此直白。通常的做法是把它说成是‘发展中国家津贴’。” 报道称，在日前开幕的中国全国人大会议上，国务院总理李克强表示政府将“向污染宣战”。几天后，一份有关中国74个城市空气质量的官方分析报告披露，仅有3个城市2013年达到国家空气质量标准。 Read the orginal link at:http://news.xinhuanet.com/world/2014-03/14/c_126265043.htm

- Wednesday, 23 April 2014 02:09
References Not To Be Forgotten: Case study Of strategic Human Resources In China References available on request is the footnote of most CVs written in English, yet all too often the ‘final hurdle’ of the hiring process is either forgotten altogether or given only cursory attention, yet a quality reference checking process is not merely a disaster prevention practice, it can unearth vitally important information required to manage and develop the new hire. In this article, I explore some of the less obvious reasons to properly check references with a specific focus on hiring in mainland China, as well as uncovering some of the reasons it’s so important for us, as employees, to remember that with the web 2.0 our behaviour can be […]

- Thursday, 10 April 2014 03:07
As a thick smog hung over Beijing last year, Stephanie Giambruno and her husband decided it was time for her and their two girls to return to the U.S. Giambruno’s husband stayed back in China for his job as general manager of a global technology company. He now skypes with the family twice a day and lives with “constant jet lag” as he travels to Florida once a month to see them, she says.
