Abondance de l'espace à Changhaï

7 juin 2007 par des histoires de succès d'affaires de la Chine

Abondance de l'espace à ChanghaïTalent&Pro est une jeune et flexible agence opérationnelle de consultation qui se concentre sur des banques et des compagnies d'assurance. C'est une agence qui, indépendamment de fournir les services de haute qualité vers des clients, est forte concernant les perspectives de carrière personnelles de développement et de ses propres employés aussi bien. Ceux utilisés chez Talent&Pro sont offerts un contrat de deux ans, avec une prolongation unique à cinq ans, lesoù elles reçoivent tout espace pour préparer et former leurs plans pour le futur. Fondamentalement juste comme Marco Hoekstra l'a fait. Expérience par beaucoup d'années' des opérations bancaires et des finances, il a commencé dehors chez Talent&Pro en tant que directeur opérationnel dans les Pays Bas il y a 7 ans. Actuellement, avec plus de 400 employés, Marco concentre son attention sur Talent&Pro Chine.

Un lotisseur né, Marco a le grand intérêt pour le développement économique rapide. Après les Pays Bas, l'Allemagne et le R-U ont été conquis, il étaient le bon moment pour réaliser une nouvelle branche de Talent&Pro en Extrême-Orient. « Un endroit où le marché développe en haut la vitesse, où le pas agité de l'économie de amélioration exige de nouvelles stratégies toute heure, et où jeunes, les individus fortement qualifiés ont une passion pour l'internationalisation… » Changhaï, Chine.

Recherche
« Tout à fait une quantité de recherche a précédé le choix pour Changhaï. De Singapour vers la Thaïlande, de Taiwan vers l'Inde : nous avons voyagé partout l'Asie. À première vue il peut sembler plus évident s'établir dans un pays qui a avancé peu un plus, économiquement. Toujours, il y a également des inconvénients dans cela. Peut-être le marché de ces secteurs est plus de `prêt' pour toi en tant que compagnie avec un modèle occidental typique, mais cela ne lui fait pas nécessairement plus d'amusement. For example, if you arrive from Hong Kong in a relatively less developed place like Shanghai, you will see that over time you have become spoiled. To start out in the youngest economy was a more logical choice for us.”

Switch
The branch in Shanghai became a fact as of October 2006, with Marco Hoekstra at the helm. He visibly feels at home there. “It’s great to see the success we have. In the Netherlands almost all our employees end up with one of our clients holding a permanent contract, after their time at Talent&Pro, and then hire us in their client role for new challenges. Of course we are not that far advanced in Shanghai yet, but the first reactions are encouraging. In a market that is internationalizing this rapidly, we can switch between various cultures, which is invaluable. And that is what Talent&Pro offers. In China we only employ Chinese, all of whom have experience abroad. They are not only experts in insurance and banking issues, but, moreover, they are excellently capable of dealing with cultural differences.”

Just a little different
To maintain highly qualified employees for your company can be difficult in China. How does that work at Talent&Pro? “We have not been active long enough to see how things will work out for us, but I think that our model bears its fruit in precisely this way. All orders that our employees receive are aimed at further development. Our organization structure is flat and open. That is relatively new here in China. People from the ‘lowest’ level within the company are not used to being able to become friends with me, the manager. Despite the fact that personal connections are so important here to successfully do business. Therefore I try to do my best to loosen my employees from the purely business-like issues. Many Chinese are quite bewildered by that, but in my experience they quickly accept from a Westerner that things really can be done in a different way. Especially if you make an effort to deal with the local culture, instead of pressing your own demands at all costs. There is plenty of space for a social approach in this city of millions.”

Talent&Pro is specialised in Operational Consultancy to the international Insurance and Banking markets. Talent&Pro employs over 400 staff deployed throughout Europe and in China. Strategically adding value to work flow and project management needs. Talent&Pro was founded in 1999 by Maarten Timmerman (psychologist) and Cint Kortmann (sociologist). With the idea of filling the gap between university and working life, they developed a unique mission statement: “we develop people for the market”.

To encourage personal and professional development, Talent&Pro became the company, where Master and Bachelor graduates expand their horizons, gaining experience and expertise.
