Kind regards,
Adam Livermore
Within the modern, globalized market, maintaininga competitive edge necessitates identifying newgrowth opportunities and ways of cutting costs.It is for this reason that entering into the Asianmarket has become more ofan essential, than optional,part of a successful businessmodel.
In our experience at DezanShira & Associates, someof the most importantparts of an effective Asiamarket-entry strategy arehiring the right staff andclearly understanding theassociated laws for doingso. While a Western businessmay have a rm grasp of HR procedures in theirhome country, companies often nd that theirestablished practices have almost no bearing inAsia. Without adapting to and understanding theunique HR challenges of individual Asian nations,firms risk incurring substantial yet completelyavoidable losses.
In this issue of Asia Brieng, we set out to providereaders with a basic understanding of howto navigate the HR procedures of China, Indiaand Vietnam. We begin by introducing the
most common employmentcontract structures in eachof these countries, as well astheir laws for employmentprobation. We then take alook at the three’s increasinglycomplex procedures forobtaining work/businessvisas, and conclude with aspecial feature on how tolegally terminate an employeeacross Asia.
Several key Asian destinationsfor foreign investment have introduced new HRlegislation in the last two years alone. With morethan 20 years’ experience of managing HR inAsia, Dezan Shira & Associates is well equipped tohelp businesses understand the region’s variousprocedures. We hope readers nd this issue helpfuland informative.
