Wage pressures remain despite slowdown, say HR bosses

The presentations, case studies and panel discussions at the Oct 29 event will focus on topics ranging from compensation and communication, to change management and innovation, said the chamber.

"Human resources has for many years been the No. 1 business challenge our members face in China, and survey results show that the economic transition is increasing the pressure on HR departments to do more with less," said AmCham China Chairman James Zimmerman.

"This will require HR executives to take on a more strategic role, and we're very fortunate to have such high-caliber speakers and panelists at the conference who will be able to address these issues head-on."
