Break-out Session A: Retaining Talents in Changing Times
Frank Gallo•Carmen Law•Alex Lee•Amanda Ou

(Ballroom C)
Every HR professional in China has been challenged to develop great retention programs. We have all had many opportunities to learn about and discuss talent retention. But the challenges in 2016 in China are different from anywhere else in the world at any other time. On the one hand, we have a booming job market where the most talented are regularly recruited. On the other hand, we have a relatively sluggish economy that demands that we keep our best performers on board. In this panel, our experts will share their own stories of how they have been been working to address both of these retention challenges.
