During this HR conference, expert speakers and panelists shared their best practices, proposed problem-solving solutions, highlighted hard data about HR in the Greater Bay Area, and emphasized policies and regulations that will benefit the business in the region. Guilherme Campos at the South China HR Conference 2As the final speaker of the conference, Guilherme introduced the Guangdong Free Trade Zones (FTZz) with a special focus on Qianhai (Shenzhen), Nansha (Guangzhou) and Hengqin (Zhuhai), followed by an interpretation of the subsidies for talent in these areas as well as how they could prepare their application. At present, the talent management model in China’s FTZs is undergoing reforms, with the focus on the introduction of high-level talent by providing more flexible housing subsidy, child subsidy, medical care services etc. Such favorable policies have a certain positive effect on alleviating the shortage of talent in small and medium-sized enterprises in the FTZs, especially for overseas talents. “However, with the complex processing mechanism in China, the application procedure could be very time and energy consuming. A professional agency will help to make it much easier,” suggested Guilherme by end of his speech.Guilherme Campos at the South China HR Conference 3
