2021 Graduate – Human Capital Management_Retirement Consulting Actuarial (Shanghai/Beijing/Shenzhen/Guangzhou)
The Business
Corporations strive to strike a balance between accumulating capital and the resources to pay for retirement benefits. A strategic investment in the right benefit mix can give our clients the edge needed to recruit and retain the best talent, while helping their employees build the savings they need to retire. At the same time, pension financing represents some of the largest costs and risks to be managed by many companies.
