Carrington Day is a specialist HR firm with recognized success in targeted headhunting for the most challenging assignments. Its reputation is without peer in the natural resources sector, perhaps because of its close links to Australia. But other sectors that have been core to the business have included manufacturing, capital markets, government sector and services.
Within these sectors the roles have been those most critical to the success of the business, be it the CEO or Country Head, the CFO, marketing executive, government and corporate relations or technical specialists.

Boards of Directors
Boards of Directors
At the centre of a company’s strategic planning are the board of directors who assess risk, look for growth and return for shareholders. There has never been a market emerge that can match the China story of the 2000’s. Yet few international boards have non-executive directors (NED’s) who have current “touch” for China.
Strategy and risk assessment at the board table should include real-time on-the-ground background in China. Carrington Day has the China networks to deliver the breadth and depth of NED China expertise for international boards.
Organisational Development

Organisational Development
There are multiple causes for organizational difficulties. Market entry, growth, or downsizing, cultural complexities, reorganisations. Managing these in a home market are tough, but to have them emerge in a foreign market can be particularly difficult and effective management requires skill and the right tools.
Carrington Day has the HR experience over many decades in culturally diverse business settings to bring breadth and depth to organisations that are dealing with these issues.
Training and Coaching

Carrington Day can bring the expertise of an individual coach or the more broad based professional development for teams of people. Executives leaving China to work in a foreign country will need to be well prepared for the challenges. Just as managers who are working in international companies in China.
HR and Due Diligence

HR and Due Diligence
Carrington Day is also skilled at a business tool that is under-utilized. In the Due Diligence process of most M&A projects, attention usually focuses on the financial and the technical aspects of the target company. But very rarely is there an assessment of the HR dimensions. Yet, in many M&A deals, the success or failure often comes down to the platform that is built on the people. The proper assessment of this HR component, especially in identifying cultural risks, can be invaluable.
This can be a particularly valuable service for Chinese firms as they seek to invest in international businesses where the business cultural environment is much different to China.
Compensation Benchmarking

Compensation Benchmarking
Companies are often confused about different compensation levels and packaging in foreign countries. Carrington Day’s professionals has had many years of advising on salary benchmarking across jurisdictions.
China is quickly becoming a more mature labour market and salary rates are normalizing. However, there remain significant variations across China in the rates paid to professionals. There are differences between sectors, between cities and regions and the economics of a project can be put at risk when there is not solid knowledge of compensation variations.
IT and HR

Increasingly workplaces are changing and responding to technological change. Carrington Day is in the people business, but its experience in the rapidly developing companies in China has brought IT partners with whom Carrington Day works to provide integrated people and technology solutions.
Career Transition

Career Transition
Inevitably there will be times when companies must restructure and there are resulting voluntary and sometimes compulsory redundancies. For management and staff this is a difficult process and Carrington Day, as a strong HR partner, sees the process as being an important issue that requires careful management. Carrington Day has specialised in providing a tailored Outplacement process. After loyal service, companies can provide the departing staff with program that assists them to make a transition to their next career step.
Every Career Transition assignment is unique, reflecting the circumstances of the terminated employee e.g. the region/city that they are working in, their home city and the economic/job environment at the time, their age and stage of their career progression. Furthermore, and importantly, the level of support offered to the employee by his/her employer will, determine the Career Transition service to be provided to the departing employee.
