Predicting China's Future

China is a rapidly growing and changing economy. As they move into more value-added work, the challenge of attracting and retaining talent is on the rise. In fact, China will need 1.1 billion workers by 2020 to operate effectively.

The talent shortage poses numerous challenges for Chinese businesses. Among these obstacles are missed growth and expansion opportunities, increased costs associated with high turnover and loss of intellectual capital, and distraction from core capabilities as time is spent sourcing and training replacement employees.

Recognizing the growing talent shortage as a future weakness, the Chinese government contacted ManpowerGroup, the world leader in innovative workforce solutions, to help remedy their problems. ManpowerGroup and the Chinese government formed a partnership in 2005 to better forecast skills shortages, find vocational training solutions, and redefine the country's employment laws. ManpowerGroup also helps the Chinese labor authorities assist governmental agencies, state-owned enterprises and foreign companies transform the effectiveness and efficiency of their employment systems and services.

ManpowerGroup's global reach and local expertise has proven effective for the Chinese government and businesses for years - now see what ManpowerGroup can do for you.
