      British bank tests four-day working week, says it is improving productivity and job satisfaction

      Calling its four-day working week trial a resounding success, app-based lender Atom bank has said it is improving productivity and job satisfaction. The Durham-based bank aid trial had been “overwhelmingly positive” for employees and there was no negative impact on customer service ratings. The staff of the bank was given a choice to move from 37.5 hours spread over five days to 34 hours spread across four days for the same salary. Sky News quoted Anne-Marie Lister, chief people officer at Atom as saying ”We firmly believe the four-day week is the future of working life and it is encouraging to now see the range of businesses across the UK embracing the four-day week trials.” ”We are a progressive bank…

      Hindus, Hate and Hashtags: How Hindus Are On the Back Foot, Again

      Britain isn’t exactly a state which is friendly to India. For 200 plus years, Britain pressed its heel on India’s neck, and a resentment of India choosing to chart its own post-Independence path conditioned the British policy toward India. As India grows ever more powerful, British mocking of it gets more shrill and ludicrous. This does not come out of nowhere though, and is set against centuries of European cogitation about Hindus. When Winston Churchill talked of Indians as “a beastly people with a beastly religion”, he was drawing on a crystallised common sense about Hindus among the British. Under the guise of raising the Hinduphobia issue, the podcast — Hindus, hate and hashtags — presented by Vishva Samani, and aired on…

      Japan to spend $1.83 million on ex-PM Shinzo Abe’s state funeral

      Japan will spend $1.83 million on a state funeral for slain former leader Shinzo Abe, the government said on Friday, despite growing opposition from a public angered by revelations of the ruling party’s ties to the Unification Church. Abe, Japan’s longest-serving but divisive premier, was shot and killed at an election rally on July 8, and although funeral services were held soon after, Japan has decided to hold a state funeral at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan arena on Sept. 27. The government of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, an Abe protege, decided the state funeral would be paid for solely with state funds. But opinion polls show persistent opposition to the idea. In the latest, published on Sunday, 53% of respondents were against…

      UK: New arrangements for the Queen break with tradition as she is instructed not to travel

      In a significant departure from convention, officials are creating fresh preparations for the Queen as she continues to experience mobility problems. In an unexpected change of events, the Queen might choose to name the new Prime Minister at Balmoral as opposed to Buckingham Palace. The 96-year-old monarch is on vacation at Balmoral, therefore the best course of action could be to announce Boris Johnson’s replacement there on September 6. It had been anticipated that the Queen would have to take a 1,000-mile round trip to choose between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss as the new head of the Conservative Party. The monarch typically departs for Balmoral Castle in July of each year and stays there until October before coming back to Buckingham…

This was the second time in a week that the former premier had approached the court for interim bail. BLOG: Managing a Hybrid Workforce: What Are the Key Concerns?

      London View: Rishi Sunak’s Bandwagon Slowing to A Stop And There’s No Second Wind Coming

      Nobody is quite waiting for September 5 for a formal determination that Rishi Sunak has lost his bid to become prime minister of Britain. It was a difficult bid from the start. Britain is not the United States, and Rishi Sunak is no Barack Obama. But over weeks of campaigning, his chances have become more and more bleak. And it is showing. In the opinion polls certainly. One of the latest among party members from YouGov has Liz Truss with 68 per cent support to Sunak’s 32 per cent. He started only slightly behind, and at moments marginally ahead by some estimates. But he has been on a steady slide since then. The betting odds are more stark. Those are…
