Wolters Kluwer to boost China workforce
(China Daily) Updated: 2012-08-30 11:23Wolters Kluwer NV, Europe's largest tax and legal publisher, will expand its China workforce by 17 percent in the next six months to seize opportunities presented by the nation's reforms of the health and legal industries.
The publisher will add about 50 people, including sales staff and subject-matter experts such as physicians and legal scholars, to the 300 now in the country, Chief Executive Officer Nancy McKinstry said in an interview in Beijing on Wednesday. "The level of change around regulations, legal developments and medicine continues to increase rapidly," she said.
Wolters Kluwer is turning to faster-growing markets in Asia, such as China and India, to counter conditions in Europe that remain challenging, McKinstry said.
