The majority of businesses operating in China face a talent shortage when looking for employees with core professional business skills
Rote oriented education system creates highly technical but closeted graduates and middle management lacking in soft skills
37% of US-owned enterprises said that recruiting talent was their biggest operational problem
44% of executives at Chinese companies reported that insufficient talent was the biggest barrier to their global ambitions
This systemic deficiency in the workforce has created a growing demand for Chinese employees with the necessary core professional business skill sets
The talent shortage in China is likely to grow, as supply is not able to keep up with increasing demand

Most companies operating in China have experienced set-backs when attempting a “go-it-alone” effort at attracting, developing and retaining talent
Typical actions taken: Develop in-house training programs Bring in Western employees from overseas offices to manage operations Re-shuffle employee ranks frequently through hiring and firing
Results: High financial cost Inefficient allocation of company resources Erosion of corporate culture High employee attrition, resulting in a shortage of local managers
Considerations: Assessing operational efficiency and identifying employee skill gaps internally is a politically
sensitive endeavor Outside of core competence of company
TWC provides an unbiased third party diagnosis of Corporate HR deficiencies and delivers customized solutions to fit the needs of its clients
