Organizer
The Chinese market has many particularities in terms of recruitment and human resources management. Adopting local culture and understanding cultural differences are the foundations for successful recruitment. Therefore, the HR Working Group was created to provide a platform to network and exchange with peers, to share knowledge and perspectives in diverse fields and to generate new ideas. Members meet every quarter to discuss HR issues and trends in China.
JUNTO, a new craft beer space, has taken over the former Mikkeller location in Jing'an, carrying on its predecessor's spirit with a well-curated beer selection and community-driven events. The tap list caters to all tastes, from easy-going daily brews to options made for beer nerds. They recently hosted Beijing's SlowBoat, Guangzhou's crazy bear pop-up, with more events on the horizon—including a monthly beer residency (showcasing a different brewery each month), pet-friendly weekend markets, football tournaments, day time also open for work and coffee.
