PEO in China: the beginning of a development strategy

PEO involves using a company based in China to provide physical and legal housing for a foreign or Chinese employee. It allows companies that do not have an office in China to recruit and work with an employee locally. PEO solution is an important and sometimes decisive step to ensure a safe and successful development in China: the company can start its development while limiting risks and investments

It’s a transitional option between setting up and establishing a structure in China. The “portage” company offers support throughout the process of creation and acquisition of full autonomy.

In this way, PEO service offers companies wishing to enter the Chinese market the opportunity to gain an insight into the market without the need for a physical presence or a legal entity in China. This solution offers great flexibility and efficiency in deployment and customization. The employee is almost immediately ready to operate locally.

Thanks to its support and in-depth knowledge of the Chinese labor market and its legislation, the PEO services company enables the foreign company to start its business in China without the need for specific experience or multicultural management skills.

The company delegates the management of the employee’s payroll and related administrative formalities to all local authorities. In effect, the third-party company becomes the local employer of the employee, who benefits from a local contract. As such, the umbrella company will take the necessary steps to obtain work visas and residence permits for foreign employees coming to work in China. The company will act as an intermediary for the payment of salaries and the various taxes and charges associated with the employee (insurance, contributions).

Our HR Team in China is responsible for managing and monitoring the employee’s expenses and is the local contact person for maintaining solid contact with the employee in China. Finally, if necessary, the company can rent office space or any other premises required for the company’s activities in China.

PEO IN CHINA: SPECIFICS AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

PEO is strictly regulated in China. Few companies can legally offer this service. In fact, VVR International is the only European company to benefit from licenses recognized by the Chinese authorities, such as the Labor Dispatch License. It should be noted that the portage of a Chinese employee and that of a foreign employee are not regulated in the same way by law.

In China, PEO requires the PEO company to pay all taxes and social security contributions in the employee’s place of residence. Thanks to its multiple locations, including four strategic regions of the country – Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shijiazhuang – VVR International offers a wide choice of zones in which to develop the company’s activities according to its field and strategy.

VVR INTERNATIONAL: EXPERTISE IN HUMAN RESOURCES AND MANAGEMENT OF FRANCO-CHINESE TEAMS

Differences in culture and work practices can be an obstacle, leading to misunderstandings that negatively affect a company’s operations in China. VVR International, with its strong presence in France and China and its experts in human resources and in the management of Chinese teams, ensures that the collaboration is set up in the best possible conditions and helps to manage difficult and unforeseen situations (accidents, resignations, epidemics, etc.).

VVR INTERNATIONAL: CUSTOMIZED RECRUITMENT, YOUR OUTSOURCING SOLUTION IN CHINA

The choice of employees is crucial to the success of the first stages of development in China. That’s why, in addition to our PEO services, VVR International’s teams can take care of the recruitment of a new Chinese or foreign employee.

Thanks to the expertise of its dedicated VVR RH department, VVR International will search, interview, sort through a unique process and finally select the best talents to offer you the ideal candidate for recruitment. To do this, our teams will carry out a diagnosis of the company and its needs in order to define the profile best suited to the position.

Subtitle

 

The seventh China Information Technology Expo took place between the 9 and the 11th of April 2019 in Shenzhen. In this event which gathered the World leaders of technologies, the visitors could discover and try the news and innovation like the Youxiaomei robot of the that served cups of tea. Although the exhibitors were from different nationalities, this event was a veritable vitrine for the Chinese progress in this sector.

According to the « made in China 2025 » which objective is to make China become a leader in the high-tech industry, investments are colossal in the Research and Development field. China would like to establish in the Global market of the innovation and strategic sectors. China has the ambition to export their technologies designed and developed nationally in order to put an end to their role of “world factory” that was occupied so far in the international trade. Thus, the high-tech is on the way to become the motor of the Chinese economy. The country counts the strongest growth of the world in the Robotics sector and would largely dominate it in the coming years. Even if the International Robotic Federation (IRF) pointed a delay for China in 2013 based on the number of robots per worker (25 units for 10 000 workers), the progresses were considerable as in 2016 it already counted, 68 robots for 10 000 workers. In 2018, 340 000 were employed in the Chinese factories. The number of companies which activity is linked to the robot construction is rising: in 2017, the country already counted more than 6500. But the Robotics field take off does not only concern Chinese companies, numerous foreign groups interested in the Robotic industry growth and the opportunities that offer the Chinese market set up their manufacturing workshops in China.

In the services sector, the Robotics field records in China the most important growth thanks to the Artificial Intelligence progresses and would represent a market of more than USD 2.9 billion by 2020. The strong enthusiasm of the companies for those technologies fulfils their will of performance and rentability also contributes to the sector dynamism.

Even though the robots are expensive to buy, they quickly permit to make significative cost reduction and improve efficiency. There are a lot of examples of uses in the services sector. The RobotHe restaurants of the Alibaba group only employ robots for the service permitting to increase the speed and save a considerable amount of money from employees. The robots are also used in the post services. Since 2016 they do the parcel sorting for one of the dominating mails operators of the country. In the distribution field, the e-commerce company JD.com significatively uses the robotization. It has warehouses all robotized. To deliver the orders, the company also uses robots, drones or autonomous vehicles. Thanks to those innovations, the group has improved its sales performances and delivering times. The robotization extends to the Health field. In some hospitals in Bejing or Shanghai, robots work at the reception desk: they have the capacity of answering thousands of questions and guide the patient to the required service. Operational since 2018, the robot developed by the Chinese group iFlytek is able to identify the diseases and realize the diagnosis. The education field gives way to the Robotics. In 2018, almost 600 nursery schools in China were using the teaching assistant Keeko developed to interact with pupils.

Finally, in the industry field, China is also leader in the Robotics market.  In 2016, the country represented 30% of it. The IRF plans that in 2020, China will use 950 300 robots in their factories and will produce 150000. The country is already a leader in the purchase and the use of robots and is about to lead the design and production.

From the daily life to the industry, the use of robots is massive. There would be approximately 3 million robots in the world in 2020 only in the industrial sector. The Chinese contribution to the development of robotics is huge. This increasing importance shows the change of the country position in the international market: once “workshop of the world”, it is today one of the leaders. The Chinese progress in the field of high technologies is living up to the desire of industrial development and the will of expend its influence in the key areas of the global economy.

The VVR International activity in short

Overview of the year 2018 and perspectives for the year 2019

According to Camille Verchery, CEO of VVR International, “2018 was a very interesting year that saw a lot of projects achieved. On the industrial front, the essential of the VVR International activity focused on the negotiation of strategic partnerships and on the support of the negotiations for the creation, the organization and the wage portage of team which will follow the projects and ensure their development. Concerning the B to C, the key mission of VVR International was helping our clients to understand the complexity of the Chinese market from connecting the distribution channels to the building of the team”.

First, about the industrial B to B, the comeback of the Franco-Chinese partnership combining French equipment and needing of a local industrialization of all or part of the production was observed in 2018. This type of partnership shows difficulties for the small and medium-sized businesses. “The set up and the fast rentability are difficult challenges for the companies. Then it is about organizing the distribution to ensure a successful commercial development”. To enter the Chinese market, the realization of a partnership with distributors mastering the product type and sales network is essential. In many sectors such as the pharmaceutical one, the aeronautics, railway or nuclear where most of the actors are Chinese, the partnership is compulsory. Nevertheless, these actors have a limited capacity of production. The association of the industrial competence of the French companies with the knowledge and the skills in the Chinese market for these actors is a relevant strategy of development that benefits to both parts. Frequently used, those partnerships, often capitalistic, enable a local industrialization of the French companies and contribute to the industrial competence-building of the Chinese actors. “The mission of VVR is here to ensure the building of the business model of partnership, the progress of the negotiation.” It is a matter, on one hand, of preventing the risks of technological pillage that the French compagnies would face. On the other part we have to guarantee to the Chinese partner a sustainable benefit. “After the structuration of the partnership, VVR International plays a central role in the recruitment of the team adapted to the ambitions of the project. It is about recruiting a technical but also Franco-Chinese sales competence that will have to quickly be operational to support the different phases of the project”.

About the B to C, the distribution of agri-food, cosmetics, food supplements, household, interior decoration products in China is one of the main activities of VVR International in 2018. The Chinese distribution network is more complex than in Europe. In fact, its organization isn’t limited by the simple division between the Offline and the Online but is composed of other ramifications. The Online sale is for instance divided into market places with other actors like WeChat. This new landscape highlights alternative models of distribution. “VVR International helps the companies to understand the distribution channels, define a strategy and set up a brand which does not go through internet automatically”. If internet can be seen as the channel to privilege for selling a product quickly and at lower cost, it is not always the most adapted channel in this complex network. Its use can present advantages, but the risk of an ephemeral success leading to a durable loss of credibility can be considerable. “The Online channel should be considered as a complex tool to deal with but not as a solution. Without a structured and marketed Offline, the Online can’t be develop in a sustainable way. Once the development strategy is defined, the different distribution channels determined and organized, VVR International helps companies to choose the suitable actors.” Considering the Chinese distribution network spreading, a global knowledge of its work is impossible, and specialized actors for each chosen distribution channel are needed. The team responsible for supervision is then chosen.

“Moreover, thanks to the development of the Talent Acquisition Services department, we help our clients in the recruitment and the skill improvement of their teams. That is why VVR International has invested in a Labor dispatch license and a portage license. Those tools permit to legally recruit the new employee without the burden of hiring him/her in our client’s Chinese legal entity.”

The VVR International activity in the past year traduces the underlying trend of the Chinese market and highlight its new issues. According to the observed evolutions, the VVR International activity in 2018 was focused on the understanding of the Chinese market mechanisms, the strategic diagnosis and support of the implantation of the small and medium-sized French businesses in China. The partnership made with the Région Nouvelle for the set up of companies in China is part of this. VVR International, and our numerous partners & professionals work together to propose solution and support. By combining the will of French companies development with the reality of the Chinese market, they ensure the achievement of their projects. The activity for the year 2019 will be similar with last year’s. It will be based mostly on the negotiation and the support of the implantation project to produce and sell locally and on the development of distribution projects in China of food industry, luxury, cosmetics, medical products fully made in France. The potential comeback of more capitalistic acquisition partnership, less frequent in 2018, would be observed.
