Shanghai 

It’s no secret. We Chinese are overworked and crave a better work-life balance. And this need to balance our family life with our work was highlighted in a recent MRI China Group survey involving 2,265 Chinese employees aged between 25 and 37 years of age who listed “A work-life balance” as one of the three top motivators to stay with a company. And since talent retention is one of the most important issues in the ‘War for Talent’, it makes sense to align your company’s strategy on reducing stress and giving your key staff more time with their family. It is for this reason that Network HR has launched ‘Family Friendly Weekend Getaways’.

Karen He has been in the field of human resources in the automotive industry for 12 years. Today she is the HR Director for Renault China. Network HR asked Karen how she got to where she is.

Computer peripherals that will increase your efficiency 

Peripherals that connect to a CPU are a big business.  This is partially due to the rise of business devises such as tablet PCs and the proliferation and substitution of laptops.

But while these business devices are continually growing smaller, input is still limited by the size of the human had and its dexterity. The screens and keyboards might be shrinking, but our hands have remained the same size. In the following article, we take a look at some options for increasing the speed, accuracy, and usefulness of your mobile computing.

The importance of character

Yew Chung International Schools teach students the importance of social responsibility early on in the business world. They are often de­scribed as having a corporate con­science, a sustainable responsible business, or corporate citizenship. In short, it's called corporate social re­sponsibility (CSR).

CSR defines the reputation of a busi­ness and is often gauged by the public's perception of a company's morals, eth­ics and character. With a stronger em­phasis on CSR, businesses are increas­ingly seeking upstanding citizenry from their employees. Job interviews today are not just used to determine an indi­vidual's performance potential but are also a dialogue to assess a candidate's character.
