TEAM BUILDING ASIA is expanding its reach into the mainland China market by partnering with GP Strategies (China), part of a global network providing services to improve workforce and organisational performance.
Both companies have agreed to work together on a “new generation of team development” in China by developing more innovative teambuilding and staff engagement products that meet the needs for better business performance among Chinese customers.
The strategic partnership will enable Team Building Asia to integrate teambuilding programs from Catalyst Global into GP Strategies (China)’s specialist areas and industries while expanding its influence in the China market.
