Abbondanza di spazio a Schang-Hai
Talent&Pro è un'agenzia operativa giovane e flessibile di società di consulenza che mette a fuoco sulla banca e sulle società di assicurazioni. È un'agenzia che, oltre a fornire i servizi di alta qualità verso i clienti, è forte per quanto riguarda le prospettive di carriera personali e di sviluppo dei relativi propri impiegati pure. Quelli impiegati a Talent&Pro sono offerti un contratto biennale, con un'estensione prodotta su commissione a cinque anni, où ricevono tutto lo spazio per preparare e modellare i loro programmi per il futuro. Basicamente appena come Marco Hoekstra lo ha fatto. Con esperienza di molti anni' di operazioni bancarie e di finanza, ha cominciato fuori a Talent&Pro come responsabile operativo nei Paesi Bassi 7 anni fa. Attualmente, con oltre 400 impiegati, Marco sta mettendo a fuoco la sua attenzione su Talent&Pro Cina.
Uno sviluppatore nato, Marco ha interesse grande nello sviluppo economico veloce. Dopo i Paesi Bassi, la Germania ed il Regno Unito sono stati conquistati, esso erano il giusto momento per realizzare un nuovo ramo di Talent&Pro nell'Estremo-Oriente. “Un posto in cui il mercato sta sviluppando in cima la velocità, dove il passo hectic dell'economia migliorante richiede le nuove strategie tutto il tempo e dove giovani, gli individui altamente qualificati ha una passione per internazionalizzazione…„ Schang-Hai, Cina.
Ricerca
“Abbastanza una quantità di ricerca ha preceduto la scelta per Schang-Hai. Da Singapore in Tailandia, da Taiwan in India: abbiamo viaggiato dappertutto l'Asia. Inizialmente occhiata può sembrare più evidente stabilirsi economicamente in un paese che ha avanzato poco un più.
Eppure, ci sono inoltre svantaggi in quanto. Maybe the market in those areas is more ‘ready’ for you as a company with a typical Western style, but that does not necessarily make it more fun. 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.”
