The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce organized a seminar focused on: “Doing Business in China – The People Challenges”. This event took place on 17 March at Barco in Kortrijk.

According to survey of European companies based in China, one third mentioned that rising labour costs is their top HR challenge, while one quarter reports that talent shortage is their second biggest HR challenge.
During her visit to Belgium, Mrs Diana Lu, Vice-President Human Resource APAC at Barco, spoke about Chinese culture, its implications on Leadership and Talent and the HR challenges of Barco in China. She also gave valuable information about retaining talent in China.

Her talk was preceded by an introduction by Ms Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce, and followed by a Q&A session and an optional tour of Barco. During Mrs Lu’s talk, a sandwich lunch was served.
