01. Challenge

A German sourcing office needed to restructure management and team dynamics in their Shanghai office to enhance efficiency and support their commercial teams across different countries. Collaborating with us and leveraging our end-to-end Global Recruitment and HR Outsourcing services, their restructuring process was smooth and effective.

  • The Shanghai office, with 50 staff members, had only one HR & Admin handling general office activities, leading to a lack of experienced people management and support for business partners.
  • The dispersed commercial teams across various countries added to the complexity, requiring a robust and unified approach to team restructuring and management.

02. Solution

We quickly initiated the recruitment process for a top manager in Shanghai, planning the new team structure in collaboration with the Heads of Teams in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen. By leveraging our local network and aligning with the German head office’s HR policies, we delivered a cohesive people management strategy.
