Hays Greater China was awarded the titles of “Best Workplace for Women™” and as one of the ‘Best Workplaces™ in Greater China 2019’ by Great Place to Work®, a global authority on workplace culture, in Shanghai last night.

Hong Kong – It’s no easy feat to cultivate a high-trust, high-performance organisation. According to Great Place to Work®, it takes the commitment of dedicated and motivated employees and leaders to achieve such a lofty goal. We’re proud to announce that Great Place to Work® has named Hays as one of the ‘Best Companies to Work For® in Hong Kong’.

Marked by trade tensions, continuous digital transformation, financial innovation and regulatory changes, Hong Kong’s job market is geared for significant changes in the coming year, says recruiting experts Hays, as part of the city’s top 10 talent trends for 2020.

CEO of recruiting experts Hays, Alistair Cox, says business leaders need to sometimes step off the “treadmill of busyness” and give themselves space to focus on areas and issues which add more value to their organisation.

The surge of digital transformation, financial innovation and regulatory changes in Hong Kong combined with a significantly slowing economy has led to a record number of organisations – particularly within IT, fintech, banking and insurance – turning to flexible recruitment solutions (contracting or temporary workers) to suit their dynamic needs.
