White-collar workplace like a duck to water

How hard do in foreign invested enterprises have is that many white-collar concerns. In the recently held to create a better future Recruitment Conference, this reporter had an interview with the recruitment of foreign participants, “the old white-collar” and invite them to their own experiences to talk about their own “foreign Heart Sutra.”
  
Westerners used to think the head
  
     “Western-minded thinking, thinking of using a foreign language”, which is the China-Britain trade association representative office in China in charge of personal experience. He said: “In the British company for many years, let me feel the deepest, but also the work of the most important thing is to use the Western way of thinking towards work and those around us. In foreign invested enterprises, and our way of thinking in English and Chinese may be half of Gucci Handbag, and even more than half of all dealings with the British people, because my customers are mainly British. Why learn English in schools with the actual English there is a difference, the real British, he would use his phrases to describe the problem, if you can not His first-hand information to understand clearly, very difficult for you to understand what he meant, it is difficult to do, so I think this is a foothold in foreign invested enterprises a prerequisite. “
  
Career planning and corporate requirements coincide  
A French company human resources director Oscar said: “I graduated from backward a master’s degree, a French company, as a assistant manager, the management over sales, and then in the superior proposal, the switch did HR. At that time, company bosses say that I am a foreign language, and there communication advantages, but also good at and deal with HR can do to fill vacancies, but also play the individual director.
“Human resources director just left on the location of the near future, I am faced with layoffs and get the two major problems. At that time, in order to adjust the product structure and reduce costs, the need to cut nearly 1 / 5 of the employees, the staff are also required to stay get to accept treatment. At that time, and get retrenched staff in my office every day, blocking the door, my pressure is very large, and also no experience of HR, I had no choice but to study all night and HR-related legal knowledge, have taken the trouble to go to a explained, but also in the process of Gucci Handbags attention to his words and deeds. people are forced out of a unique environment inspired me to do HR potential, both to the company resolved Wai, also laid a career of my life direction. I Experience is that when its own planning and enterprises seeking timely is often the cause of opportunity for a breakthrough. “
  
To avoid obstacles caused by cultural differences 
 
The current US-funded enterprises in charge of North America and the Asia-Pacific region vice president of EREC said: “The years of foreign experience I could feel very deeply in Chinese culture under the influence of foreign personnel, often do not naturally brought into by the cultural differences communication errors. For instance, Americans are accustomed to at the beginning, when the General Assembly to express their opinions, and the Chinese people prefer the small one-on-one meeting for heart-to-heart conversation; Western culture publicity to promote individuality and independent thinking, while Asians while advocating unknown, but also likes to listen to a passive and obedient; foreign companies that take the initiative to ask for promotion have the ability and the courage to shoulder responsibility for the performance of state-owned enterprises is to promote the initiative and do things instead of “hand to officials.”
“Recognizing that these issues, I changed the past-funded enterprises, including the behavior of habit, I reported a lecture courses, intensive training of their speech skills, and to actively participate in group discussions, with different from other people’s views, I will actively put it out slowly caused the boss’s attention. In the foreign car company, six months after the boss of me to put themselves forward, I hope to have opportunities for promotion. boss let me to monitor the new plant machinery and equipment installation . I have never received any professional training, even the drawings are not understand, but I get a mission, hired technical staff successfully completed the work. As a result, the boss will not only enhance my back to my salary doubled. Later, the boss told me: ‘You Do not Understand drawings I know, but if you are not turned down this job, I will probably dismiss you.’ It is the courage to shoulder the responsibility given me the opportunity to develop, if I am still pursuing a low-key and push the Let’s work style, may still be a ‘bit’ of. “

Wrestling career employees and supervisors

Recruitment recent large-scale conference, in the days of satisfied filter gmbh Human Resources, told reporters said that the company is “anti-switch” practices. He said the first half of last year, Xiao Wang has a variety of business signs that have to switch, but privately claim that if the company’s “all kinds of injustice” is still continuity, he would leave with customers.said that like him, “talent” was not right and wrong not to stay. However, he is now far away in Shanghai a few single business not yet completed, it is difficult to take over others, if he leave the hands of a business leave, leaving a mess to clean up how?
In order to temporarily keep him, under the Human Resources Department to him quite a lot of effort.he called into the office for China’s entry into the WTO at the beginning, quite naturally talked about the fashion jewelry development and preparations for the forthcoming branch, while head office will be revealed some long-term business has not been promoted to their own backbone. And implied that he has been charged with the task owner to consider, from a month from salaries and middle management, the same cadres. “Smug look to see him, I know that he decided to left,” said.
In order to make these “bait” more sincerity and authenticity, Human Resources Department with the approval of the consent of the owner to give him a salary increase. “Carrot” and “Golden Apple” has been, he is also willing to abandon it? “In the whole process, I do not have any job related to the issue. I can not exposed to his job has been detected. Otherwise, all this in today’s practice will be considered a delaying tactic,” said.
Business to be in his hands the results of talked with him again. The main contents: WTO process has not thought so quickly, in this environment, the branch, the lead will be a fairly long time to not be considered. In view of this, your office had no choice but to resume the original wage level. “I seem to have to see the day when he looked up red angry face. If he can not afford such a fool, or switch, you can. But I believe he decided that the original units can not be waiting for him for two months . do not go from here? Sorry, for such ‘disloyalty’ employees, the boss is absolutely not unsparing. “
In the meantime, the Human Resources boss gradually prompted business and his hands come into contact with customers before switching over to prevent any eventuality.
Editor Comment: The enterprise is not very sensitive to those who decide whether to costume jewelry, or purely as an excuse to quit the company’s staff hostage. In these people, if not tackled properly, it could endanger the company’s interest. As Human Resources Manager, Mr. Xu to do so may be “in the political arena, beyond,” he must stand on the company’s point of view to safeguard the interests of the company. However, Wang is not hopeless, and his complaints about some ways reflects the company’s internal sales management of the serious shortage of human resources managers nor the spirit of “training, education” principle to improve staff quality, but with This table trick on a battle of wits with the staff, in such a management system, I do not know at a later trial of strength in the company what to have almost turned into a chance of winning?
