It is not every year that a company plans foreign investments, and the best “blueprints” cannot be adopted for a new project without risk. Planning the organization of a project carefully is decisive not only for the smooth running of the project. A lack of preparation inevitably leads to expensive, subsequent adjustments and delays in the start of your production in Thailand and thus the return on investment.
The Sanet Group in Bangkok has been supporting foreign investments in Thailand for around 20 years, not seldom from the initial workshop and strategy finding to the start of production.
Thereby, it has proven itself time and again that the management pays full attention to the following planning principles:
• Proactive communication of the project with stakeholders
• The proper composition of the project team
• Agreed project and reporting rules
• Selecting and involving of external support
Whenever it comes to an investment in Thailand, be it for distribution or production in Thailand, the consultants of the Sanet Group have proven to be the expert guides through law and business in Thailand.
Since founding the “Strategic Alliance Network (Sanet)” by entrepreneur Dr. Gunter Denk, operating in Europe and Asia, we have been systematically expanding the group’s expertise, particularly in Bangkok, as our company profile illustrates impressively.

Recruiting and retaining loyal employees in Thailand needs cultural sensitivity. Particularly foreigners often complain about the high turnover rate of their employees in Thailand. Indeed, it is not easy to recruit loyal employees in Thailand and retaining them at the same time. Although this matter is not only a challenge in Thailand, there are cultural backgrounds to have a look at, especially in the Kingdom of Thailand. Sanet CREARING CAREERS points out what to look out for when selecting personnel and implementing personnel policies, especially in Thailand.
The HR manager is a key position especially for international companies investing in Thailand. He has important responsibilities in the company, and yet, recruitment in Thailand is not always HR’s strong point.
Many foreigners investing in Thailand are very keen to fill the managing directors by a countryman. This is basically correct, especially in the early days. The cultural proximity of the person in charge to the local management helps to install smooth processes and good leadership.
Therefore, finding an HR manager is one of the most important tasks. But caution is advised: Qualified recruitment in Thailand is often not the HR manager’s business.
Criticism is often seen as injurious by employees because it is often emotional and generalizing. “No one can really ever rely depend on you!” or “If you don’t improve, you’re going to have trouble here!”
Well, what Boss hasn’t let something slip out that sounds similar? And certainly no one seriously expects devaluations such as these, which are general and personal, to motivate employees.
But even factual critiques are often regarded by employees as personal attacks. Even slight criticism is perceived by many subordinates as an assault on their personality. It doesn’t help to say that none of the criticism is meant in a personal way.
CREATING CAEREERS, Sanet’s German-speaking recruitment agency in Thailand, presents an exciting assessment system as a solution.
