What is performance? How do you predict performance? A machine has to run 24/7 with zero faulty parts and we would say it's performance is good. But how about our own employees, the real engine that powers our economic success in China? Is our company doing well BECAUSE of employees performing at their best or DESPITE employees performing below expectation?
Most of us know who in our team is performing well right now or did so in the last year. But do we know WHY they are performing well? And if we do not know why they are performing well, how can we make sure we hire new employees who will perform at a similar level - should we focus on one famous university or degree or maybe our biggest competitor? A certain age-group or someone with specific language skills?
The answer is - no. Performance Prediction is something that can be qualified measured. For your new and existing employees. Ms. Miriam Wickertsheim, General Manager at Direct HR Group will show you how by sharing her insights and give her advice on performance prediction.
Furthermore, Mr. Ralph Koppitz, Partner and Chief Representative at Taylor Wessing Shanghai, will share his knowledge on performance aspects from a legal point of view.
Mr. Koppitz will cover questions such as: Where should performance related aspects be addressed? In the employment contract or the employee handbook? What should be the content of typical legal clauses addressing performance aspects? What are the typical benefits for foreign and Chinese staff, and which structuring options are legally available to optimize these benefits for your staff (e.g. allowances, reimbursements, bonuses, other benefits)?
In case of bad performance, Mr. Koppitz will talk about the termination options under Chinese labor laws (systematic overview on all available options, including termination options specifically linked to employee performance), as well as the latest on severance payments and other important aspects when separating from non-performing employees.
