China-Europe workplace differences: localisation starts with understanding people
During the roundtable, Chloe Xu drew on management practices in both Chinese and European companies to highlight differences in workplace culture, communication styles and management approaches. She also explored how these differences influence overseas team development for Chinese businesses.
As Chinese companies accelerate their international expansion, entering overseas markets involves more than market access and business operations. Companies must also navigate local labour regulations, employment practices and cross-cultural management challenges.
For businesses expanding into Europe, understanding local talent markets, respecting cultural differences, and establishing management practices aligned with local regulations and workplace expectations are essential to achieving stable, long-term operations.
