China's business environment continues to evolve amid global economic challenges with the unprecedented adoption of AI. As a result, foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) are facing higher tax compliance complexities alongside rising talent costs, both of which have become key areas of focus for running a sustainable business.


As a result of these challenges, many FIEs are finding it critical to consider their operating and business models in China. Business transformation and cost management have therefore become top strategic priorities. Organizations are integrating tax planning with HR strategies during periods of restructuring.


SBA Stone Forest, in partnership with ADP and the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, cordially invites senior executives of FIEs to attend this seminar.


Adopting a dual "Tax + HR" perspective and supported by relevant case studies, the session will explore how FIEs in China can optimize operational efficiency while maintaining compliance through effective organizational design and transformation planning.
